While the Baltimore Ravens‘ offensive coordinator seemed to be firmly committed to his current job, Gary Kubiak will meet with the Denver Broncos‘ brass this weekend in regards to the open head coach position.
A new head coach can bring significant changes to a team(good and bad), but I’m more interested in how Kubiak will utilize his running backs. With new talent emerging like C.J. Anderson, and the 2013 second-round draft pick Montee Ball still in the mix, fantasy football players have a lot to be hopeful for if Kubiak takes the reigns.
Under his tutelage with the Houston Texans and Ravens, running backs have found a great amount of success, which has obviously benefited fantasy football players.
Here are some of the highlights:
| Player/Year | Rushing Yards | Rushing Touchdowns | Receiving Yards | Receiving Touchdowns |
| Steve Slaton-2008 | 1282 | 9 | 377 | 1 |
| Steve Slaton-2009 | 437 | 3 | 417 | 6 |
| Arian Foster-2010 | 1616 | 16 | 604 | 2 |
| Arian Foster-2011 | 1224 | 10 | 617 | 2 |
| Ben Tate-2011 | 942 | 4 | 98 | 0 |
| Arian Foster-2012 | 1424 | 15 | 217 | 2 |
| Justin Forsett-2014 | 1266 | 8 | 263 | 0 |
It’s too early to speculate how Anderson and Ball would fit into a game plan, but it’s obvious that each back needs to be on your radar.
