The Facts:
Following up on the
ongoing story. ... Moreno's career-high 1,586 yards and 13 touchdowns en route to Super Bowl XLVIII won't guarantee him a starting job with his new team. Moreno told reporters on Friday's introductory conference call that he will have to beat out Lamar Miller and Daniel Thomas for lead-back duties. "I just want to compete. I'm not expecting anything," Moreno said.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Moreno is certainly more trustworthy in pass protection, route running, short yardage and ball security than Miller. But even if Moreno isn't the "starter," his consistent approach will help a backfield that was held under 25 rushing yards on four different occasions last season. Once again, fantasy football owners should look for a timeshare with Miller and Moreno on the field depending on game situations, with Thomas as the odd man out.
