Knowshown Moreno Will Miss Sunday’s Tilt; Maroney a Hot Pickup

Knowshown Moreno will miss Sunday’s tilt; Maroney a hot pickup

With news that Knowshown Moreno will miss Sundays match-up due to a injured hamstring suffered in Fridays practice, I have got many reader emails and tweets asking who should be rostered: Corell Buckhalter or Laurence Maroney.

The answer would be Buckhalter without question if Maroney did not already have more experience in the Josh McDaniels offense than Buckhalter does.

We expect them to split snaps pretty evenly but expect Maroney to get a 60/40 split of the carries while Buckhalter should be more involved in the passing game.

Recent practice squad signee Andre Brown is a interesting stash as this is the second hamstring injury Moreno has dealt with this year (this injury is not to the one he partially tore in preseason.

Laurence Maroney is the no-brainer add from this backfield, while dynasty league managers with roster space may want to stash Andre Brown, a very talented but unable to stay healthy young running back if other options are not available.

Maroney is no more than a flex play this week but has the abililty to work his way into RB3 territory with a strong game against Indy and if Moreno’s injury proves to be a multi-week one.
