Running Back Rank: #47
Overall: #150
Buckhalter had a career-high 26 receptions last season and ran for 369 yards, giving him more than 300-rushing yards in every full season of his career. Buckhalter is an explosive back. He is a solid receiver and has great speed, which gives him a shot to break a huge play every time he touches the ball. Buckhalter probably isn't durable enough to be an every-down back, though, but will battle for a starter's job in Denver. He is likely to be the top backup to rookie Knowshon Moreno.

Remember, the Broncos are going to be running a similar offense to the Patriots the last few seasons so the running back spot could be a mess some weeks. Buckhalter should see a spike in production, but you probably shouldn't count on him to be anything more than a No. 3 back or flex option, playing second fiddle to Moreno. |

| Frank Schwab, of the Colorado Springs Gazette, reports Denver Broncos RB Correll Buckhalter started over RB Knowshon Moreno in Week 9, but head coach Josh McDaniels said the decision was not performance-based. |
| Fantasy Impact: Neither back is doing much at the moment, mainly because they have little room to run. Expect the rotation at running back to continue the rest of the season. |

| Mike Klis, of The Denver Post, reports Denver Broncos RBs Correll Buckhalter and Knowshon Moreno have combined for 84 yards rushing on 32 carries for a 2.6-yard average in the past two games. 'There's no shortcut to it,' head coach Josh McDaniels said. 'We have to work hard at getting ourselves to run the ball better and be more effective running the football and staying out of third-and-long. That alone will allow us to stay balanced. We've got to get the running game going. We've got a lot of things to do better though; it's not just the running game.' |
| Fantasy Impact: The Broncos have had very tough matchups the last two games, though, so we think the running game can get going in the coming weeks. |
