The topic says it all. The Broncos are always known for having a dominant running game which is no secret to all us FF gurus. I think the A.T.L is turning into that as well. yes its preseason but there are some viable canidates to fill Dunn's shoes SOON.

Atlanta's rushing numbers are extremely misleading.Last year, Denver ran for 2539/25, and Atlanta ran for 2546/17. Statistics would suggest that Atlanta's rushing attack is almost as productive as Denver's; HOWEVER, statistics don't account for Michael Vick. Last season, Denver's RBs accounted for 2235/22 (335.5 fantasy points), while Atlanta's only produced 1861/11 (252.1). That's quite a disparity. It'll be a long time before Atlanta's running game reaches the level of dominance that Denver's has achieved and sustained for a decade now.Now, if you're trying to suggest that Atlanta will turn into a factory for top-10 (or even perhaps top-20) RBs... let's just say that I'm reserving my judgement until they manage to create ONE other than Dunn. So far this millennium, Atlanta's produced only one top-20 RB. Denver's produced 3 (including Mike Anderson twice with a 3-year hiatus between starting gigs). Denver also produced a fourth in 1999, and almost produced a fifth last year in Tatum.I'll reserve judgement until I actually see some results.
