Willis McGahee - Denver Broncos - 2011 Player Profile - Rotoworld.com


Broncos signed RB Willis McGahee to a four-year, $10 million contract.
They're different terms than were reported Friday, but McGahee is nevertheless a Bronco. Set to turn 30 and coming off a season in which his production fell off dramatically, McGahee's best fantasy bet for 2011 is a repeat of his 2010, where he vultured a good amount of goal-line carries from Ray Rice. We'd avoid McGahee's extremely low upside in 12-team leagues. Jul 30, 9:20 PM

I agree completely. I see Willis vulturing TD's and maybe being used heavily in the 4th qtr. IF Denver leads. They Broncos will trail more than often, and Moreno will out produce Willis going away this season.

Let's all remember that Head Coach Fox LOVES to use a two RB system. I see a Moreno-McGahee timeshare similar to DWill and J Stewart.

Fox also LOVES to use his veterans

Saw a stat that said MaGahee hasn't had over 160 carries since 2007. He may be getting old, but he doesn't have a lot of wear and tear on the tires.

-- Moreno Still Expected to Start; McGahee Good on Short Yardage --
Mon Aug 1, 2011 --from FFMastermind.com​

The Denver Post reports at 235 pounds, new Broncos RB Willis McGahee has the potential to complement the newly slim RB Knowshon Moreno, who arrived at Dove Valley weighing about 200 pounds. Moreno expects to remain the starter, but McGahee is considered a better runner between the tackles and in short-yardage situations, a serious weakness for the Broncos in recent seasons. Last year with Baltimore, as Ray Rice's backup, McGahee had only 100 carries. But he scored five touchdowns. One of those touchdowns — a 30-yarder — came against the Broncos. "Contrary to what people say, it's no indictment on Knowshon," Fox said. "If you've followed my coaching history, you know I've had two first-rounders at running back, and I believe you have to have two backs to be a successful run team, just to keep them fresh and energized and to get through 16 games running as much as we want to run it." McGahee, who turns 30 on Oct. 21, joked that "30 is the new 20" — quoting the song title by rapper Jay-Z — and said he is in the best shape of his NFL career.
