more fuel to the gyno fire

9. Montee Ball, RB, Denver Broncos
Weeks 1-7: 12.4 snaps, 6.1 carries, 3.6 routes, 0.6 targets
Weeks 8-17, plus three playoff games: 24.9 snaps, 8.8 carries, 11.8 routes, 2.5 targets
Selected in the second round of the 2013 draft, Ball entered his rookie season in position to compete for Denver's lead back gig. He ended up settling in behind Knowshon Moreno and, at least for a few weeks, Ronnie Hillman. As the season progressed, Hillman faded away and Ball took on a larger role.
Denver's record-setting offense allowed the Broncos to give Ball long looks in the second half of blowouts. The rookie responded with a healthy 4.4 yards per carry on 148 carries. With Moreno now in Miami, Ball is in position to take over as the feature back in Denver's high-scoring attack. He's worth a look at the Round 1-2 turn.

I don't know why I keep doing this, but I can find these things too.

Montee Ball, RB, Denver Broncos:
Everyone who thinks Ball is a slam-dunk first-round pick, I ask you this: Can you name a player who had a worse rookie year and then was a no-doubt first-rounder as a soph? Ball is more talented than Knowshon Moreno, and he should've blown Moreno out of the water last summer. He was supposed to be so pro-ready, and yet he fumbled and whiffed on blocks and looked meh running the ball. So now Moreno has moved on, and Ball has the inside track to a job that made Moreno the No. 5 RB in fantasy last year. He could absolutely repeat this performance, but how sure are you? Does it usually work out well when we draft not the players themselves, but rather their roles? I've bumped Ball up to the No. 10 spot in my RB ranks, so I guess I'm all aboard the hype train. But I acknowledge it could derail.
