Knowshon Moreno’s rookie campaign went exactly as expected. He jumped over a few people, broke some ankles and made people forget about Jay Cutler. The Broncos eased their first-round pick into the mix over the first four weeks by getting him a few touches against the better teams (Cincinnati and Dallas) and a good amount of touches against the crappy ones (Cleveland and Oakland). Then in Week 5, with Correll Buckhalter sitting out due to injury (shocker!), the Donkeys decided to throw Moreno into the fire against the Patriots… and he didn’t disappoint. 25 touches and 124 yards later, Denver walked off with a victory due in no small part to Moreno’s steady play. Knowshon went on to start the majority of the team’s games the rest of the year, and though he did not register a single 100-yard game, he did put up 9 total TDs, which was good for 24th in the league.
With the 32-year old (in October), injury-prone Correll Buckhalter still acting as the backup RB, the sky’s the limit for Moreno in 2010. Towards the end of last season, Knowshon really began to develop an active nose for the endzone, which only looks to progress this upcoming year. Brandon Marshall is no longer around, which will help Knowshon climb up the fantasy ladder in two different ways. First, the Broncos won’t have Marshall’s sure-hands and big body to steal scoring opportunities from him in the red-zone. Second, Denver will have to rely much more on their backfield play this season simply because Marshall won’t be around to bail them out of trouble. This could mean carries galore for the young RB, and will likely boost his reception total as well. Expect Moreno to have fantasy numbers sitting right outside the #1 RB starting range in 2010.
~ Moreno will enter the season as the clear-cut starter
~ The Broncos lack of a passing game without Marshall should put Moreno up over 300 carries
~ Knowshon is adept in all areas of the game, so he could find himself as a 3-down back, a rarity in the NFL today

Moreno inked his rookie contract on August 7th, 2009, to the tune of $16.7 million over five years. The deal included $13.125 million guaranteed with another $6.3 million available through incentives. The Broncos also left themselves the opportunity to exercise an option year in 2014 for $5.08 million. The particulars are as follows:
2010 – $395,000 (+ $3.775 million roster bonus, which was paid out in March)
2011 – $1 million
2012 – $855,000
2013 – $1.7 million
2014 – $1.31 million
2015 – Free Agent
Moreno's vertical leap was measured at 25.5 inches and was the worst in the RB field at the 2009 Combine by a wide margin. The second worst vertical for RBs was 32.0 inches - he was 7 inches less than the second worst guy. Damn! As crazy as it may seem, 28 offensive linemen at that combine had higher vertical leaps than him and only nine offensive lineman had worse ones. Yet strangely, this guy seems to jump over people during games more than anyone else in the league... which is quite interesting.
KM was never hurt in college, but he had a knee injury last season during his rookie campaign. We'll keep him at green for now...
