The Denver Broncos have been working this offseason on a new up-tempo offense under new OC Adam Gase. Because of that tempo they may choose to platoon their RBs instead of having one bellcow back. According to Andrew Mason from DenverBroncos.com “we could see a Hillman/Ball combination, not just one guy.”

Our View: An important note for fantasy owners here. Gase said earlier this offseason that the team would use multiple RBs. They could rotate backs via series so as not to slow down the tempo with substitutions. Ball’s ADP is growing rapidly (RB20) even though he only received about 25% of the snaps with the first-team this offseason. Hillman’s ADP is RB51 and he may play a bigger role than some assume right now. This is a RBBC which may feature a Thunder (Ball) and Lightning (Hillman) combination.
