SUMMARY
Running Back Rank: #39   
Overall: #141


McGahee had the lowest numbers of his career. He had a career-low 100-rushing attempts and 380-rushing yards. His rushing totals have gone down each of the past three seasons. McGahee topped 50 yards just three times all last season. He did score five touchdowns, though, giving him 59 in seven seasons (eight per season). McGahee turns 30 during the season, so his starting days are likely about over. He can do well in a reserve role, especially as a short-yardage back. McGahee will be the top backup for the Broncos this season and should be a fine compliment to starter Knowshon Moreno. McGahee is a powerful back with plus-speed and the ability to make a big play on the outside. He also is a decent receiver, catching 22 or more passes four of seven seasons.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
McGahee has some touchdown potential, but he won't score consistent enough to be a dependable fantasy player. He might be worth a spot start or two in the right matchup, but that is about it. A season with 500 yards and a few scores seems about right for McGahee.
Denver Broncos RB Willis McGahee became the first 30-years-or-older running back since former NFL RB Fred Taylor in 2007 to surpass 1,000 yards and average more than 4.7 yards per carry in a season.
Fantasy Impact: His age is a concern going forward but he showed last season he still has plenty left in the tank.

Denver Broncos RB Willis McGahee has been added to the AFC Pro Bowl roster to replace Houston Texans RB Arian Foster (undisclosed), who is dealing with an undisclosed injury.

Denver Broncos head coach John Fox does not want RB Willis McGahee to have 20 to 28 carries in a game, as he did six times this season. Fox would like to add another younger back and with a bit more speed.
Fantasy Impact: Makes sense with McGahee getting up there in age.

Denver Broncos RB Willis McGahee carried 17 times for 76 yards and a touchdown in the Divisional Round playoff game loss Saturday, Jan. 14, against the New England Patriots. McGahee finished the postseason with 36 carries for 137 yards and a score in two playoff games.
Fantasy Impact: It was a good showing for McGahee, capping off a big year for him. He is likely to remain the starter in 2012.

Denver Broncos RB Willis McGahee carried 19 times for 61 yards in the Wild Card game against the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday, Jan. 8. He also fumbled twice, losing it once, but the team was able to rebound and win in overtime.
Fantasy Impact: McGahee didn't have a great game but produced some with his chances. The lost fumble was almost a killer for the Broncos, though.
