Newsbreakers
October 8, 2008
Selvin Young will miss Week 6 due to a groin injury, according to NFL.com.

Our View:Michael Pittman and Andre Hall should share the workload on the ground, but have a tough match-up against Jacksonville. Young is averaging 5.7 yards per carry this season, and will be missed. The team did not mention how much time Young may be sidelined beyond this weekend.
September 21, 2008
Selvin Young continues to be the best running back in Denver. On Sunday, he only got 11 carries against the Saints but managed 65 yards. Andre Hall and Michael Pittman combined on 11 carries for 27 yards.

Our View:He is averaging 6.89 YPC this season and it's only a matter of time before he is getting 15 carries a game. He has just two catches this season but had 35 in limited action last season. Sunday's game was a shootout so Denver never was allowed to completely turn to the run. If and when they decide to, expect Selvin to pile up the yardage.
August 22, 2008
Selvin Young ran the ball seven times and gained 42 yards in Denver's preseason loss to the Packers. Fellow running back Andre Hall also had a solid game, accumulating 46 yards on nine carries.

Our View:It will be tough for fantasy owners to depend on either of these backs on a weekly basis, because of all the maneuvering Mike Shanahan does at the position. They both have value, though right now Young's is higher.
August 17, 2008
Selvin Young was effective in Saturday's preseason win over Dallas as he rushed for 36 yards on nine carries, according to the Denver Post. He also caught one pass, but for a three-yard loss.

Our View:Young should be drafted as a No. 3 fantasy running back, with potential to be a solid starter.
July 28, 2008
The Denver Post has named Selvin Young the "clear starter" in the Denver Broncos' backfield. The same article mentions that undrafted rookie running back Anthony Alridge is making his case for a roster spot. Alridge, with his speed and shifty moves, had the most electric runs of any running back Monday morning.

Our View:Young averaged 5.2 yards per carry last season and also hauled in 35 passes in limited duty. If he is indeed the clear starter, he has top-10 running back fantasy potential playing on the Broncos. However, Mike Shannahan has been known to shuffle running backs throughout the season so a further monitoring of this situation is needed before crowning Selvin as a big time 2008 producer.
