Easy choice, IMO. Morris catches no balls.

Wow! Great options at RB.
I couldn't pull the trigger on that move. I maybe could do it over Ridley and SJax - but think Charles will outperform Moreno.

Starting him over Murray...
Yeah, I might still change it back. Problem is, I have TRich going in that game already. I'm having a hard time putting my playoff life on the line starting 2 players from a Cleveland vs KC game. I'm probably over thinking it.

DMac and Dwyer.
That's funny you said that, the playoff matchup I have this weekend...I am playing Bryce and Martin. My opponent is playing Ray Rice and Alfred Morris.
Moreno has received 24 touches each game since taking over the lead back duties in Denver.
Players with a similar touch-per-game total vs. the Raiders this season:
- Reggie Bush (Week 2) - 31.7 Fantasy Points (29 Touches, 197 Combined Yards, 2 TDs)
- Willis McGahee (Week 4) - 19.5 Fantasy Points (25 Touches, 135 Combined Yards, 1 TD)
- Rashad Jennings (Week 7) - 16.2 Fantasy Points (28 Touches, 102 Combined Yards, 1 TD)
- Doug Martin (Week 9) - 51.2 Fantasy Points (29 Touches, 272 Combined Yards, 4 TDs)
- BenJarvus Green-Ellis (Week 12) - 19.8 Fantasy Points (20 Touches, 138 Combined Yards, 1 TD)
- Trent Richardson (Week 13) - 15.5 Fantasy Points (23 Touches, 95 Combined Yards, 1 TD)
That's good news against the league's 5th worst fantasy run defense (#1 in points allowed to RBs over the past 5 weeks). If terrible Rashad Jennings can deliver a quality fantasy performance despite running 2.1 yards per carry against these guys, Knowshon should be able to deliver.
* For those of you in PPR leagues, Moreno has caught 4 passes each week as well.

To make me feel better about him in my flex spotdang. tough to sit those numbers. why did you do that....
I'm starting Calvin and Julio at WR. I'm starting Ahmad and CJ at RB. It's Moreno or Cobb at Flex. I actually put Cobb back in before reading your reply...but now I'm reading the numbers of backs against the raiders.....

If Peyton sticks w/ the run, Moreno's gonna break a couple long ones. Too bad he won't score TDs. Still, can't ask for much more out of a RB2/flex

I started him over Murray and hated myself for doing it. But he looks like he's going to put up pretty good numbers.
Maybe we get another goal line rush after that fumble recovery...

Nice call.
You're right, I am crazy, but it looks like I made the right choice in fantasy
Let me add one more line to my performance rundown from before the game...- Knowshon Moreno (Week 14) - 22.7 Fantasy Points (36 Touches, 167 Combined Yards, 1 TD)And as with the past two weeks, 4 pass completions.Enjoy the early lead, fellas!

In one league my RB's sucked all year and I somehow barely got into the playoffs. I picked up Moreno and Bryce Brown and suddenly my team is looking strong. Those two pickups this late in the season have been huge.
Not much in the way of research here. Just a case of knowing when to trust the bad matchup regardless of talent.If an RB is being utilized a lot and not being ignored (like the Ravens ignored Rice when they played Oakland), this is pretty much easy money.Next week, the Raiders D faces off against Jamaal Charles.23 touches in Week 12. 31 touches in Week 13. Expect a MONSTER game.Week 16 is Carolina. Pray you're not facing the Newton owner.Outstanding research and Very
