As has been said just being in that offense with manning, he will get a bunch of fantasy points. It's pretty much what happened with Moreno last year, and Moreno had shown up to before last year to not be more than an average nfl rb.

I'm nervous about Ball because I think that the Bronco's offense will come back to earth some from last year, and Ball's involvement in the offense will be limited almost exclusively by how much he can get onto the field.

It's his first year as "the guy," and if he has issues catching the ball or blocking then he will lose reps to someone who does a better job with those things. Strangely enough I think that his value as a rb is more tied to blocking ability than running ability. He could be a very good option. I just see it as risky to assume that he will be reliable enough in those areas to do what Moreno did last year.

Anyone who doubts Ball is not paying attention. The only backs I have over Ball is Charles, Peterson, Shady, Forte, and Lacy.
