Montee Ball unlikely to roll up big numbers in Week 4

Broncos rookie running back Montee Ball managed his first productive NFL game Sunday against Oakland. He rushed for 61 yards on 11 carries - not bad considering he averaged just 1.9 yard per attempt in his first two games.

But it doesn't translate into anything more than a flex play in Fantasy leagues when the Broncos host Philadelphia in Week 4. Ball is still sharing the load with Knowshon Moreno and Ronnie Hillman, so he remains unlikely to receive enough work to justify inclusion in most lineups.

Ball is ranked 41st among all running backs this week by CBSSports.com senior Fantasy writer Nathan Zegura. He is not listed among the top 48 by Zegura's two colleagues. Only owners slammed by bye weeks and poor options should play Ball against the Eagles.
