Notes
Denver Broncos RB Willis McGahee (leg, knee) will not take part in the team's organized team activities Monday, May 20, but it's the same approach he's had in the past for offseason workouts. 'He's following the same routine he's done his whole career. He'll be there,' agent Chafie Fields told said. 'He's ready to compete. No messages.' McGahee is coming off a torn medial collateral ligament in his knee and a broken leg.
Fantasy Impact: McGahee could be on his way out as the Broncos look to get younger at the position.

Denver Broncos RBs Knowshon Moreno and Willis McGahee likely will compete for one roster spot during training camp because the team probably will not keep both. Moreno could have an edge for the No. 3 running back job because he is younger, less expensive and a better receiver than McGahee.

ESPN.com's Bill Williamson suspects that Denver Broncos RBs Montee Ball and Ronnie Hillman will receive some primary carries this year as the team looks to move away from older RBs Willis McGahee and Knowshon Moreno. Hillman is more of a third-down change-of-pace back, and the Broncos like the way Ball runs, his durability and that he can also catch the ball out of the backfield.

Denver Broncos executive vice president of football operations John Elway said RB Willis McGahee is part of the team's plans at running back for 2013. 'With where we are right now, McGahee is that big back for us right now,' Elway said. Elway added RB Ronnie Hillman is expected to serve as the change-of-pace back.

Denver Broncos executive vice president of football operations John Elway said the team sees RB Willis McGahee as a big back and RB Ronnie Hillman as a change-of-pace backs. 'With (Willis) McGahee, he's our big back right now,' Elway said. 'We have Ronnie Hillman who's a 190-pounder change-of-pace type guy. We look at Willis as being that big back for us right now, and then we'll see what happens in the draft.'

The Denver Broncos consider RB Willis McGahee as a complementary running back at this point and believe he will be more productive if they reduce the number of carries he receives.
Fantasy Impact: It makes sense at this stage of his career. He doesn't have a ton of carries left in those legs.

The Denver Broncos will not keep status quo at the running back position heading into the 2013 season. RBs Knowshon Moreno (knee) and Willis McGahee (knee) are coming back from injuries. By the time training camp opens, the team will have at least one more back who they believe could take carries as a potential starter in the offense.
Fantasy Impact: It makes sense to get some insurance for the coming season.

The Denver Broncos face a decision on RB Willis McGahee heading into 2013. He finished the season on Injured Reserve, and was tied for the league lead in fumbles lost at running back when he suffered the injury.
Fantasy Impact: The Broncos could try to go younger at the position, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see McGahee and the Broncos part ways.

Denver Broncos RB Willis McGahee (knee) is scheduled to return for a potential AFC Championship game next week if the Broncos get past the Baltimore Ravens.
Fantasy Impact: We aren't sure he'll have a huge role if he returns but it looks like McGahee has a chance to come back before the season is over - if the Broncos are still playing.

Denver Broncos head coach John Fox praised RB Willis McGahee (knee) after his first day back at practice Tuesday, Jan. 8, since returning from the Injured Reserve/ Designated to Return list. 'He's worked very hard,' Fox said. '(Head Athletic Trainer Steve Antonopoulos), his staff and Willis have worked very hard to get him back. He had a good first day.' McGahee is eligible to return to game action for the AFC Championship Game, should the Broncos advance past this weekend's Divisional Round game.
