Losing 3 backs to IR in two games and having Young on crutches most likely will result in a ton of throwing in Denver in the upcoming games.  What is everyones take on the effect it will have on the fantasy value of Cutler, Marshall, and Royal?  

IMO, not having a running game (starting Hillis is not going to scare defenses) may hurt Denver.  Think their lack of a running game is why they have struggle the past few games with the exception of last night.  They will probably have to drop some of the play action out of the play book.  But i think having Scheffler back running those routes up the middle draws some coverage off Marshall.  I think by shear volume of throwing and a not so tough upcoming schedule all three get a slight upgrade.

What do you guys think?

Good topic.  Denver's entire offense is predicated on the play-action pass, so without that one would think it would slow them down considerably on offense in general - and create a downturn in numbers for those three.  I don't.  They lost both Torain and Young early in that game yesterday, yet they were more effective passing in the second half.  Shanny will find a way to score and it's not like they won't have anyone running the ball.  If you own Cutler, Marshall, Royal or Scheff you have to be pretty excited right now.

As a Cutler owner, I am excited for the outlook of the future.  Even though last night was a career night probably not duplicated this season, it showed me that the kid can throw the rock, and I hope he carries me into the playoffs.  Plus there D is pretty bad, so I see quite a few high scoring shootouts!!

I know Schef is a huge help to the offense, but seems like he is still a little hampered by injury??  He got up slow a few times last night…  If Healthy helps spread to that offense for sure.
