Biggest need or best player available? You don’t have to wonder which school of thought to which the Broncos subscribe. Already brimming with running backs, Denver made a stunning selection by drafting Georgia RB Knowshon Moreno with the No. 12 overall selection.

If you are thinking of picking any Broncos in your fantasy draft, just stop right now. If you thought Mike Shanahan was bad, Josh McDaniels could be even worse for fantasy leaguers.

The Broncos lost running backs P.J. Pope and Selvin Young to injuries during Sunday’s loss to the Bills, as both were placed on the injured reserve Monday to add to the plethora of Denver injuries at running back.

Broncos running back Selvin Young figures to return against the Chiefs this week. How that plays into Mike Shannahan‘s plan to ruin your fantasy team is anybody’s guess. Young hasn’t rushed at least 10 times in a game since Week 5 against the Broncos. Chiefs receiver Mark Bradley has been ruled out because of a calf injury.

Forget about Denver having running back Selvin Young today. He will be deactivated due to a groin injury, meaning that Broncos running back Peyton Hillis — the seventh-round pick from Arkansas — is expected to start for Denver.

Broncos rookie Peyton Hillis should be added in all fantasy leagues after the knee injury sustained by Ryan Torain.

The Peyton Hillis era could be starting in Denver with Ryan Torain and Selvin Young injured in the first half. Mike Shanahan has a history of finding obscure running backs, but this is pushing it.

Fantasy football players take notice: The Broncos placed two running backs, Andre Hall and Michael Pittman, on the season-ending injured reserve list Monday.

This means that running backs Ryan Torain and Selvin Young will get the chance to run the football more, starting Thursday night at Cleveland when the Broncos play the Browns on NFL Network.

Denver coach Mike Shanahan announced Wednesday that RB Selvin Young and TE Tony Scheffler won’t play against the Jaguars on Sunday due to groin injuries.
