CJ Anderson (2 Viewers)

They played two really good defenses.

Hillman outplayed CJ both games both statistically and via the eye test.

Now all we need is for Kubiak to give Hillman a shot as the 1. He will never look back.

Sell CJ now while he has a little value. Or trade for Hillman and keep CJ as a high priced handcuff.

Kubiak wants a bell cow; and Hillman has nosed ahead in the race.

I own both players and your kidding yourself.

 
For those of us that are willing to gamble, what are owners willing to accept for CJ right now?

Trying to figure out if it is a sunk-cost for owners yet, or if it is still to early for what you paid for him at the draft.

If you are in love with CJ, offer him your RB1 who you liked a little less than CJ. J Hill; Forte; A. Foster;

If you are right then you will be really happy when CJ returns to form. If I am right, your team will sink like a stone in the standings. :shrug:

 
I sold embarrassingly low on CJ earlier this week in what was really my first ever panic trade in 18 years of successfully playing FF. I'll spare the details until later as I don't think its particularly helpful at this point but I didnt get great value back.

To me the main issue is the toe. If its not a serious and lingering issue then I think he will be fine. I think Manning and Kubiak will get things figured out as evidenced by the 4th quarter last night, the offensive line will play much better as the year progresses, and the schedule has what looks to me like a lot of plus matchups for the year.

He will lose touches to Hillman like almost every RB loses touches but at this point he is still clearly the lead back, clearly the most trusted in pass protection, and despite the drive inside of 2 minutes in the 1st half last night clearly their best option at the goaline.

Again, if the toe injury is more severe than they are letting on then all bets are off and I'll be happy I sold low when I did. But if its relatively minor then I think those who are patient with CJA will be rewarded.

Unless of course it was last season and Anderson helped you win a championship. Then I guess trust was a factor.

You only drafted one player?

 
I picked up CJ off the wire last year and he won me a championship. I have a very low investment in him. My take on him going into the season was that he needed to prove last year wasn't a fluke. So far, not so good. The good news is that he really doesn't have much competition. Hillman and Thompson are decent, and I thought Hillman ran better in preseason, but they aren't world beaters. The biggest problem is that the O seems like a work in progress. If they can get it on track, and CJ gets healthier, he'll be fine.

Hillman is not built to be a bell cow. He has done well as a change of pace but you can't give him 20 touches a game.

 
Big picture:

  • he's faced two pretty good D's
  • his o-line has definitely been terrible so far
  • for the time being, when active he's going to get at least 50% of the work
  • hillman is going to get 10 carries a game until he gets hurt
  • the next 6 games present more favorable matchups
his perceived value IMO, is so low right now it doesnt make sense to trade him in redraft. I'm hoping he'll at least be a startable RB2 the next several games... at this point you have to throw draft status out the window. these players are like stocks, their value swings drastically week to week save for the few established stud players that are generally trusted by fantasy players. It seems extremely unlikely he gets back to rb1 form this year.

Has Kubiak ever come out and stated he wants one back and one back only to feed the ball to? I mean I understand Foster was the man in Houston but then again, CJ Anderson is no Foster. Secondly that was years ago when feature backs were more prominent. Now teams are turning to sharing the load between two backs.

Its funny when I see people bring up Ball being ousted for the starting job by Hillman. Anderson owners dismiss that saying its in the past. It dont apply. Well they above is in the past two.

I also see them comparing Eddie Lacy's year last year as some type of hope Anderson will turn things around. I had Lacy last year he had 3 games with over 20 carries. he was hardly the "Bell Cow". Scored 9 TDs via ground and air the second half of the schedule. If Anderson is gonna do what Lacy did lasy year then the Broncos entire offense is gonna have to pick it up a whole lot to move the ball down the field consistently so he can get those goal line carries. Then again Peyton at this point in his career is not even close to A-Rod.

You continue to overrate Hillman.

He has not nosed ahead of anything.

Yeah...he passed that eye test by getting stuffed at the GL and his inability to pass block.

You say that CJ will sink a team, but still are only willing to part with him for the likes of J. Hill, Forte, or Foster? You do see the conflict there, right?

The question did not call for an obvious answer. I doubt any CJ owner would not take a J. Hill right now, and I doubt anybody would give up Hill. I'm trying to figure out if CJ owners would or have taken solid #2's like Alf, or even lower like a JStew. How about an underperforming Calvin Johnson, etc... Or are owners to pot committed to let go.

Very well.. then again Im sure he was to run the ball down people's throats. You need an offensive line to do that. Seems since he is not having any great success with one guy he is gonna continue to play both Hillman and Anderson. To me thats flawed from the start. That would be like Texans hired a new coach and he said we are gonna air it out 60 times a game with Hoyer. How successful is that. What you want to do and can do are two different things

What I meant to say is, you picked him up in FA like everyone else did. And before he got going, Ronnie Hillman was playing great (also a FA pickup). Year before, Knowshon Moreno was the back to own (another FA pickup for most). You just find these guys on the waiver. Will Hillman take back his job? Will Juwan Thompson eventually break out of nowhere? It could happen. To me CJ Anderson was not a safe pick this year.

 
I think Elway might of picked up Anderson in his FF league too.

He seen what he did at the end of last year. Started watching old Broncos films of Terrell Davis bursting through the line. Recalled how he was at the end of his career and Peyton is too. Brought in Kubiak to run a ground and pound game.

Is just now realizing Anderson is no Terrell Davis and this OL is getting blown off the line of scrimmage.

Just trying to help out my fellow ballers

 
The 2 defenses Denver has played were not the least bit afraid to bring heavy blitzes and crowd the line. And rightfully so, almost every pass was to a receiver was in tight coverage in both games. So in my mind the secondaries of Baltimore and KC allowed them to blitz more at will. Not sure all D's will have this luxury.

10 days off to rest toe and analyze film should help a ton. And I don't think Elway is going to let Manning continue getting hammered back there, no matter what scheme Kubiak runs. I'd expect more shotguns coming.

10 days off would be a great time to move Hillman officially into the starting lineup. Should be an interesting week.

 
Hillman gained 26 of his 75 yards on two runs.

On the other 19 he gained 49 (2.6 YPC).
And that's still better than CJ'S 2.3 yards per carry leaving in he best runs.

Cj's just not that good. A healthy Hillman will ensure CJ never gets past 15 carries a game and even at 5.0 per that's not great. Hill man will also never get many carries.

People act like CJ is AP or Jamal Charles. CJ is playing the role of Montee Ball from last year. Hillman is playing the role of CJ from last year. We all saw how that ended.

You're trolling at this point now about Hillman. You've stated your opinion; please stop posting ignorant comments. If they were going to officially move Hillman into the starting lineup they wouldn't announce it to delay teams from adjusting.

Isnt that the point of threads like this. To get ahead of the announcement. If you wait for the announcement, the ship has sailed. Depending on your waiver rules, the sharks need to be 1-2 weeks ahead of the announcement to capitalize on the opportunity.

 
example

Karlos Williams with McCoy gimpy

Christine Michael - will he emerge as starter in Dallas

Ronnie Hillman - when will he supplant CJ

Bennie Cunningham - Do we have one more week from him

Lance Dunbar - is he a viable PPR back

and on and on

 
Dagwood,

What makes you think Hillman won't get hurt this time, even IF he does ascend to lead dog status? You know, like every other time he's received a significant NFL workload.

Even if your theory is correct, the shark move, then is to grab Thompson. Or at least Hillman and Thompson.

 
Hillman is already rostered in most leagues before the first game. So don't understand what your getting ahead of the waivers point is.

Apples and oranges. You can't just compare RB's over multiple seasons just because of their depth chart positioning. CJ and Hillman are 2 different molds, the former being a more power runner with decent pass blocking skills, the latter being a speed back that lacks in blocking and has fumbled his way out of touches in the past.That being said Kubiak has used both types in the last as the bellcow, Slaton and of course forsett. Forsett does have above average pass blocking skills for his size, can't remember how Slaton was in that aspect.

You are missing the point. People are acting like there is no way they bench CJ. He started last year 3rd on depth chart and was only the number 1 for last half of year. He looks awful so far this year and he is hurt. Maybe he is hurt worse than he is letting on or maybe his success went to his head or maybe he is fools gold.

Or maybe CJ heals up with 10 days off, the OL begins to jell, they let Peyton play more out of the shotgun, and the whole offense begins to roll.

I think my "maybes" are more likely than yours.

I agree. Give him the added rest, now Kubiak realizes he needs Manning in the shotgun,the o-line will improve. They get Lions,Vikings and Raiders. I expect CJ to be fine,if he isn't after Raiders game,then the naysayers can gloat.

Actually I didn't completely miss it, that's why I mentioned Slaton and Forsett and the fact that, while Kubiak prefers more power runners, he could make the switch.Lots of people on here saying CJ looks awful but I don't know if they're watching the same game as me. The O line and the amount of pressure against the O line is what has looked awful.

Let's not forget that CJ was on pace to likely score a goal line TD if Peyton had not called TO after he picked up a clutch 1st down on a 4th and 1.

 
If you're a CJ owner, you should feel good about the way the game ended Thursday night. His value was always dependent on teams respecting the pass so much that he'd get a step or two if it was a run (why his yards before contact were higher last year). Now defenses aren't respecting Peyton's game as much.

Well, KC got burned by Manning, DT stepped up with big grabs and Sanders was Mr. Reliable. Teams might think twice about playing the run, which will open more holes for CJ like last year. Plus the Broncos have 10 days to tweak their run game. They want CJ to be successful, especially to take pressure off Manning.

If stopping the run had led to a win, it might have become a blueprint for playing the Broncos the rest of the season. That probably won't happen now. So there's reason for optimism for CJ owners.

Agree with this^^^^CJ is either a sit, wait and hope for the best candidate, or a buy low candidate IMO. Those of you in 8 team leagues can feel confident in dropping him, seems there are several of those owners in here lol.

Agree Denver and Kubiak want the running game to succeed. Don't think they have a vested interest in who the lead runningback is. Hillman has been the best back the first two games although the running game overhaul has been poor. Better than average chance that CJ wont have to worry about washing his uniform after the game in a couple weeks.

 
Welp, I just traded for CJ.

Gave: Forsett + Amari

Got: CJ + Mike Evans

I liked both players I got better than what I gave pre-draft. Now with this toe, I was unsure about it. Pulled the trigger though, seems like the toe injury isn't a bad one... hope I'm right on that.

Oh they have a vested interest, specifically which one is more likely to keep Manning off his a** with that questionable O line.
 
I'm gonna try and buy him everywhere I can after this week. He's looked bad. But when you consider his situation it isn't smart to expect more right now. Being hurt, new coach/offense, and playing 2 good D's explains all I need to know. Eventually he'll get more passing work too.

Everyone who says Hillman looks better is crazy. Maybe a lil I guess. But he's not hurt like CJ and should look better. Hillman isn't built for anything more than a COP rb imo and won't be more than a flex going fwd. Have fun with him band wagoners!

That's a major stretch. The way that offense, and C.J., were running at that point in the game there is no reason to think Anderson would have ended up having a goal line opportunity. In fact, it's quite possible that the only reason Anderson was able to pick up that 1st is because the D relaxed when the play was blown dead.

Forsett 5' 8" 195 lbs

Hillman 5' 9" 196 lbs

So are you saying Forsett is just a COP back too.

Why let the facts get in the way of a good rant.

 
Bryce Brown tore it up over a couple games in 2012 too and then faded into nothing.

Knowshon Moreno had one good season in the pros that happened to coincide with Manning setting records for passing TDs in a season. Knowshon too has faded into nothing. Not even sure he's in the league anymore.

It's possible that CJ had a good run but really is nothing more than a guy who took advantage of an opportunity and is now returning to his mean (never mind the issues with the Broncos that make it harder for an RB, like weaker TE play, weaker OL, weaker QB).

Reading the tea leaves, it's not good for CJ. Isn't good for Hillman either really.
