They will but I don't think that will adversely impact C.J. Anderson's production.
Peyton's play was trending downward at the end of the season. He had the same issue to a lessor degree in previous seasons but his legs seemed to give out on him at the end of this past year. Also Demarius was playing through an injury down the stretch and it was painfully obvious he wasn't the same guy he was earlier in the season. I mean just look at those awful drops he had yesterday. If you look at the Broncos offense at the time when Demarius and Peyton began their slides, that is when C.J. emerged.
I don't think that was a coincidence.
The offense doesn't have to be operating at high-octane for C.J. to be effective.
You have to be F'ing kidding me.
You do realize that if Cj's production isn't affected then he is the clear #1 RB with or without Peyton.
You are very clearly downplaying the effect of losing Manning, whether he is playing his A game or not. They will not run the same offense, and the guy running the offense is not going to come close to running it as well as Manning was.
If you truly believe what you are saying (which I cant imagine you actually do) then you better own CJ in every league you are in in 2015, cause his ADP will be far lower than where you are ranking him, and his trade value is no where close to where you are ranking him
He is 24, and if you believe his production is the same with or without Peyton, he would have to be in your top 3-4 overall rated dynasty players.
