Kirby Lee-US PRESSWIRE

Willis McGahee is already tearing apart the Saints defense. We break down the fantasy implications.

Willis McGahee looks like he'll be in for a big night against New Orleans. The Broncos top running back has carried the ball seven times for 39 yards and a touchdown in a little over half a quarter of play.

McGahee also added one reception for 14 yards, taking the ball right down to the goal line where he would punch it in soon after.

Fantasy Impact: We know the Saints defense can't stop opposing ground games. They've allowed 161 rush yards per game through their first seven games, and McGahee is already taking advantage of that fact.

The Broncos clearly want to establish the run game early on, so expect an impressive outing from McGahee tonight.
