Moreno's Ability's / State of the franchise You don't have to watch Knowshon on film long to see he has the entire package for a runner. With good speed, great vision and top end ability to catch the football. This is a kid that makes you want to stretch maybe a round or two higher to draft him. However one must temper those thoughts when you look at the team he is on right now.
It almost ticks me off that this is the guy we've waited to see Denver draft since they lost Clinton Portis. I can't help but feeling that if Shannahan would have not tried to be so cheep at his talent at running back he would still be with the Broncos. If Mike would have not been fired Jay Cutler would still be in Denver as well. How ever that is not the case and now both Denver's legendary coach and franchise quarterback are gone. With a new coach and a new quarterback in "Neck Beard" (Kyle Orton) this is a season that may be better to step back and let someone else bid a bit to high on this stud runner. This would give you a chance to see how this whole new offense plays out.
Knowshon's Fantasy Football Value in 2009 If you do decide to take this highly talented stud you could be getting a player that gives you the extra explosion you need to win those close weeks. However I warn you that Moreno's head coach was the offensive coordinator at New England. While they were a good running team they did it with multiple backs. Everybody and their mama thought Lawrence Maroney would be a stud on the Pats but look how that turned out. To say Moreno is a risk this season is putting it mildly. High risk / High reward.
Fantasy Assets: - Game Breaker - Great Receiver - Good Offensive Line
Fantasy Liability's: - His team is in turmoil - How will his coach utilize him in year one?
