Many are snagging him in the low first right now, but even at the tailend of the first, he has tons of upside. I would NOT expect top 1-4RB numbers, that's dangerous thinking... one has to draft him at his ADP... but I have Ball inside my top 3RBs for 2014, in terms of year-end stats. I repeat, drafting him that high is crazy, because you don't have to. As with Keenan Allen, the Montee Ball Show begins in September... get your tickets early!

Ball should get similar targets to Moreno's last year, but I am concerned that it may be a little more RBBC than last year. I look for both Ball and Saunders to have good years, but my money is on Saunders to be a better selection against his ADP than Ball. Saunders may be a steal in the late rounds of the draft. ---- Start 1-QB, 2-WR, 2-RB, 1-TE, 1-WR/RB/TE, 1-K, 1-D 12 Team PPR League 0.25 pts/completion 1 pt/rec 1 pt 10 yds rushing & receiving 6 pts TD, 1 pt 25 yds/ passing 4 pts passing TD, -2 fumble, -2 int

Sanders had been somewhat of a disappointment in Pittsburgh. He does get an upgrade with Manning of course, and has been working both the inside and outside routes with Manning. But remember, Decker has 4 inches of height on Sanders, Manning was playing jump ball with Decker in 2013, he won't be able to do that with Sanders. Sanders will have the rookie Latimer breathing down his back as well. If the Broncos were so high on him, they never would have drafted Latimer. I think the Broncos will utilize the RB position more this season simply because they have too. Ball gets the majority of that action if he stays healthy and works on his ball control issues. On the flipside, Sanders becomes a huge asset if Welker goes down. And if you noticed, the injury bug has been biting him the last two seasons, and he won't be fooling anyone in the secondary now that Decker is gone. So, I think Sanders is a boom or bust guy this year, and Monte Ball has a big season if he stays healthy. James ---- Full time Ghostbuster!

I can see Ball having a good year and maybe a great year, but it will be by running the ball and catching approximately the same number of passes as Moreno last year. That's why they play the game, isn't it, so we can have a healthy discussion and differing viewpoints. I also think Sanders will have more receptions than Decker did last year. As you stated, Decker was great in the redzone and that is one area that Sanders lacks, but the Thomas guys will get the majority of the redzone targets that went to Decker. Just my opinions. ---- Start 1-QB, 2-WR, 2-RB, 1-TE, 1-WR/RB/TE, 1-K, 1-D 12 Team PPR League 0.25 pts/completion 1 pt/rec 1 pt 10 yds rushing & receiving 6 pts TD, 1 pt 25 yds/ passing 4 pts passing TD, -2 fumble, -2 int
