Comes up shy on short-yardage carry
Prentice carried once for minus-1 yard while playing 17 of 68 snaps on offense in Sunday's 34-26 win over the Packers.
Analysis: Heading into Sunday, Prentice had garnered just seven carries (for 42 yards) and six receptions (for 53 yards) through 13 games, but the Broncos surprisingly turned to the fullback to try to put the game away. Rather than punting or attempting a field goal from Green Bay's 37-yard line with just over a minute remaining, head coach Sean Payton instead dialed up a run for Prentice on 4th-and-1. The defense stuffed Prentice short of the line to extend the game, but the Packers turned the ball over…read more

No yardage in Week 7 win
Prentice played seven of the Broncos' 81 snaps on offense and failed to haul in his lone target in Sunday's 33-32 win over the Giants.
Analysis: Prentice had logged one carry in each of Denver's previous three games, but the fullback didn't see any involvement on the ground Sunday while the Broncos were in hurry-up mode for much of the second half as the team clawed its way back from a 19-point fourth-quarter deficit. The 28-year-old has suited up for each of the Broncos' first seven games, playing double-digit snaps on offense in just two of those contests while carrying three times for 15 yards and adding a four-yard reception on two…read more

Set to begin season as Broncos' FB
Prentice, who is currently on Denver's practice squad, is expected to start the regular season as the team's primary fullback, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.
Analysis: Prentice didn't make Denver's 53-man roster out of training camp and was subsequently signed to the practice squad. However, Michael Burton is on IR and will miss the season due to a hamstring injury, so Prentice is slated to step in at fullback for at least the first few weeks. Tomasson notes that tight end Nate Adkins could eventually be tabbed for the fullback role, but he's expected to miss at least the first two weeks of the campaign due to an ankle injury.

No yardage through 13 games
Prentice went without a carry or target while playing 26 of the Saints' 68 snaps on offense in Sunday's 14-11 win over the Giants.
Analysis: The fullback has suited up for each of the Saints' 13 games to date and has played double-digit snaps in all but one of those contests, but he's operated almost exclusively as a blocker during his time on the field. He has yet to account for any rushing or receiving yardage on the season, though he drew one target apiece in Weeks 2, 8 and 9.
