Fantasy Football League - Question of the Day?

Which Denver running back will rush for the most yards this season?

For those of you who watched the Denver Broncos game on Saturday, you are probably even more confused about which running back will emerge as the dominate rusher this season. Take a look at these stats.

1. Mike Anderson (currently listed as the starter) - 5 rushes for 39 yards and one receiving TD.
2. Tatum Bell - 11 rushes for 62 yards and 1 rushing TD
3. Ron Dayne - 18 rushes for 87 yards

All three running backs looked great. I think Mike Anderson currently has the edge because of his blocking ability. Tatum Bell failed to pick up a blitz during the game which left the backup QB exposed at one point.

So which RB will emerge this season? Its impossible to say for sure, but I think it will be Mike Anderson. He's a strong rusher, a solid pass blocker, and he already has proven that he can rush for over 1000 yards in a season. Tatum Bell will get carries, and he is very explosive, but I think that Mike Anderson will carry the bulk of the load this year for Denver.
