Boasting our fifth ranked rush defense, the Denver Broncos have been a nightmare for opposing running backs throughout much of this year. Denver hasn't allowed a running back to rush for more than 63 yards over the previous five games and has allowed only a single rushing touchdown over that span.

So why are we recommending Danny Woodhead this week? As you are likely aware, Woodhead isn't your prototypical running back. He has earned his keep with his receiving skills over the years and this season has been no different.

With 72 receptions, the former Patriot ranks second among all running backs. Woodhead has found himself more involved over the past couple of weeks and that trend should continue with San Diego being forced to air the ball out plenty against this tough defense.

Owners in standard leagues should likely look elsewhere, but those with PPR scoring would be wise to consider him.
