The Facts:
Denver Broncos running back Willis McGahee sustained a rib injury in the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Texans. After a performance on Monday night in which he gained 113 yards on 22 carries and scored two touchdowns against the Atlanta Falcons, McGahee had gained just 36 yards on 12 carries when he left the game.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The Broncos were playing from behind throughout the game, so the run game took a backseat at Peyton Manning took to the air in attempt to close the gap. We should know more about McGahee's condition on Monday, though it didn't appear to be too serious because he remained on the sideline with his helmet off after exiting the game. If McGahee were to miss any time, the Broncos would likely use a rotation of Lance Ball, Knowshon Moreno and rookie Ronnie Hillman. Moreno was a healthy scratch versus the Texans, while Hillman made his regular season debut, touching the ball three times.
