There are many reasons I enjoy fantasy football, but I was reminded of an important one yesterday.

If your fantasy football team is getting gutted, as many are this season, you need to pay attention as to what is happening in Denver. The Broncos are a team which is running the read-option offense and looks more like the 1982 version of the Nebraska Cornhuskers than a 2011 NFL team. The problem is with the Broncos currently is that they are running out of running backs...

  Week 11 is here and for many of us this means our final three weeks of the regular season and our final chance to make a push for the fantasy playoffs.

Jets-Broncos Preview

The New York Jets know what to expect from Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos - an option-style offense that relies almost exclusively on running the ball.
