Phillip Lindsay

It's pretty rare to see a running back who finished top-12 his rookie season despite missing a game fall down draft boards the following year, especially when the team didn't add another running back. That's precisely the case with Lindsay, who will share some touches with Royce Freeman, but Lindsay has proven to be much more capable in the pass-game than Freeman, which gives him the nod as the starter. While there is some built-in risk, it's not enough to knock Lindsay out of solid RB2 territory.

Fantasy Impact

The Broncos have taken it slow with Lindsay's recovery given the time of year, but he's expected to be back in full health for the team's training camp. He'll enter the year as the team's starter following his impressive rookie season. There are some hesitations around a potential timeshare given the presence of Royce Freeman, which has our experts tabbing Lindsay as the RB23 (standard) entering the new season.
