Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
SI.com's Peter King spent time at Broncos practices last month and tweeted that Ball looks "better" than Hillman. King predicted Ball would earn the starting job over time, and that's how plenty view this camp battle. Notably, the Broncos didn't list any rookies in starting roles, as coach John Fox rarely hands out top duties to first-year players. Former Broncos GM Ted Sundquist, appearing with the FootballDiehards on SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Radio Thursday night, also believes Ball will ultimately emerge as the starter. As NFL.com suggested, we'll see plenty of Hillman once the season starts, but most observers are still expecting Ball to move to the top of the heap sooner rather than later.
