2012 Outlook: Quality Backup

Last updated on Aug-06-2012 by Jeb Gorham

McGahee will find himself at the top of a heap of Denver running backs this season - as long as the veteran remains healthy. If not, McGahee might be surpassed by some youger backs this season. Ronnie Hillman was drafted as pass-catching option and to provide McGahee relief. Knowshon Moreno, Lance Ball, Jerimiah Johnson, Mario Fannin and a few others are also in this mix. I would pick-up McGahee this season as the passing game will provide ample opportunity for timed rushing attacks and other backs can be used to bash against the defense.

2012 Mock Draft Results

Month	Position	Franchise/Comments
MyFantasyLeague Expert Draft May 2, 2012	8.04	ProFootballFocus
2012 Experts Mock Draft (June) June 6, 2012 - June 25, 2012	6.04	KFFL.com - I am passing up several other running backs that I would be happy with in favor of taking a chance on McGahee excelling because of the Peyton Manning factor. Double-digit touchdowns and at least 1,100 yards are in the cards if all goes well. If not, he should still be a serviceable third back.
2012 Experts Mock Draft (July) July 16 - 27	6.12	KFFL.com - A solid RB3 with Peyton Manning under center. Isn't a "wow" guy but has a great opportunity to repeat his 2011 surprise.
2012 Experts Mock Draft (August) Aug 14 - 24	6.02	FansFantasyFootball.com - Have to get a RB as I agree not ruch left...McGahee is the clear starter with a Manning at QB
