This is so true. Although in my dynasty league CJ and Khiry Robinson have been at the end of my bench since week 1. I trust my fellow FBGers.
In this offense with P Manning at QB, the RB does not need to be special. The RB needs to efficient and be able to block.
the Broncos have rotated 3 RBs to some degree pretty much all year. It's def possible Anderson gets a drive or two or some spot duty even if the game is close. and then who knows what happens if he takes advantage of that opportunity. He's not leapfrogging Moreno, but if he impresses and Ball has some more issues, who knows. The RB situation behind Moreno has been fluid all year.
Of course, that's why you're still able to pick him up off waivers. But comparing his potential upside relative to the cost to acquire him (i.e nothing), I think he's well worth a roster spot if you have the space. And as Buffaloes mentioned, despite being 3rd on the depth chart there's still reason to believe he'll get some playing time this game and a chance to show he's the most dangerous RB on the Broncos roster.
Sure they might not need their RB to be special, but obviously they'll take a special back if they can get one.
He is. But you don't keep a 4th RB, who is injured, on the active roster--instead if the PS--unless you think you have something...
This is true. Denver kept Julius Thomas on the roster last year despite being injured and unlikely to give them anything. Obviously they thought they had something in Julius, and just as obviously, they were right. Of course, as Thomas demonstrated, that doesn't necessarily mean they think they have something this year. Denver's shown a willingness to take the long view with roster construction, and an unwillingness to bring in new pieces at midseason when the old pieces are still working well enough.
I think it's wrong to assume Anderson is the third stringer. While likely I would not go so far as to assume it. Ball got exactly one snap last week and a grand total of 13 snaps over the last 3 weeks. That's not touches, that's snaps. So he's barely been playing and not effective when he has got touches so very difficult for me to assume he's got the #2 job on lock down.

what were you hoping for when you clicked on a 1 minute 22 second youtube clip?
I see what you're saying. The Post's headline is a little extreme, but the beat writers understand the importance of having more than one quality running back.
I'm not saying that I'm convinced CJ Anderson is a special back, but he doesn't have to be to have some serious upside, he just needs to be better than the mediocre RBs currently on the Broncos roster.
I think that's the reason it is a 2013 story. They can't trust hillman and ball hasn't impressed either.
According to Cecil his pass pro was better than ball's pass pro but that ain't sayin much
Hmm.. Good point. Den might actually want some sort of committee here like they said. He can definitly show more than what Ball has to date.
This. it basically comes down to what peyton wants. that means best pass blocker will be in the lineup
And if I had to bet, the 235-pound bowling ball can probably outblock hillman and ball.
0 chance your guarantee means anything. You're guaranteeing that Moreno will stay healthy for 2 months. Just simply adding nothing to the discussion. Let's just wait and see if he plays and how he plays.
He will only need 10 yards in most leagues to provide "any" value. Odds are fairly good that happens at some point.
Actually, based on his size and if he holds onto the ball, I think his ceiling could be short yardage/goalline back.
Agree here. I think his ceiling with Moreno healthy would be something like 5-10 touches and GL work. It'd make him a pretty undesirable flex outside of TD heavy leagues but it's something at least.
I'm starting him in one place I've got Doug Martin and Murray out so it's him or Kendall Hunter. So desperation.
the Broncos will often just roll with the RB in the game when they are at the GL (See Hillman last week) and Moreno leads the league in rushing TDs so I'm not sure they will use a select player for a short-yardage/GL role.
