Knowshon Moreno has looked good so far this season but that hasn't necessarily translated into increased touches. In fact, over the past two weeks Hillman has been just as productive and seen almost as many touches as Moreno. It definitely seems Ball has fallen down to #3 on the pecking order and is only brought in at the very end of games when the Broncos are way ahead. Beyond that it does appear to be a committee between Moreno and Hillman right now and even though Moreno is getting ranked way higher on all rankings boards he is only getting a slight edge in touches and snaps
Against Philadelphia last week both Moreno and Hillman played 31 snaps. The previous week against Oakland Moreno had 37 compared to Hillmans 25 snaps.
Over the course of the two weeks,
Moreno has 24 carries for 117 yds 4.88 per and 2 catches for 19 yards 1 TD
Hillman has 20 carries for 102 yds 5.10 per and 3 catches for 33 yards 1 TD
So over the course of the last two weeks Moreno has 3 more touches, the same amount of TD's (rock,paper,scissors anyone?) and 1 more total yard than Hillman.
It seems to me this has become a fullblown committee between the two yet the rankings don't reflect that.
I know some will argue that Knowshon plays more when the game is on the line but the Broncos are so good right now it looks like they will routinely blow teams out all season. They are already 29 point favorites against the Jaguars in week 6.
