Broncos- Redskins: Ladell Betts Leads Win | NFL Fantasy Football Rankings

The Broncos started out fast but the Redskins battled back and pulled the upset victory out for the home town fans. The victory was led by starting running back Ladell Betts, who ran for over 100 yards.

Ladell Betts Runs Well

This week there were concerns that Betts wouldn’t even play in this game because of a bad ankle. Instead of missing the game Betts thrived as he carried the football 26 times for 114 yards and a touchdown run.

This was a driving force in the Redskins comeback win against the Broncos.

Look for Betts to continue to start for the Redskins as Clinton Portis will be out for at least a few more weeks with a concussion problem. Next week Betts and the Redskins will play the Cowboys, and he should be a decent play in that game.

Brandon Marshall Scores Twice

On Brandon Marshall’s first two receptions, he had two touchdowns and 115 yards receiving. Unfortunately, for the Broncos Marshall only totaled 19 yards the rest of the game.

It was nice to see the Broncos have a few plays down the field but at the end of the day they dropped their third game.

If they lose next week against the Chargers they will fall out of first place. This would be the second year in a row that the Broncos gave up an early lead in the standings to the Chargers later in the season.

Hopefully, the team will have quarterback Kyle Orton ready for this important game. Orton was seen leaving the stadium on crutches because of a bad ankle.
