ANALYSIS: You may have become conditioned to bypass all players who are involved in Denver’s disappointing offense as the Broncos’ forgettable season has unfolded. However, a combination of factors has disentangled what had been an extremely congested backfield, while supplying Mike Boone with an opportunity to secure RB2 responsibilities for Denver.
Latavius Murray continues to operate as the Broncos' primary back, but Boone has resurfaced following a four-game absence (ankle) that has resulted in his placement on injured reserve. He has been infused into a backfield that no longer includes Melvin Gordon, while Chase Edmonds is currently on injured reserve with his own ankle injury.
This has positioned Boone to accumulate touches as a rusher and receiver while functioning as a complement to the 32-year-old Murray. Boone carried six times when Denver visited Baltimore in Week 13, and also captured his only target.
Those are clearly not astronomical numbers, but his versatility can provide you with a flex option, if the six-team bye week, injuries, and other challenges have left you desperate entering this week’s matchups. He would also seize an expanded role if Murray would be sidelined for any reason.
