CJ Anderson (3 Viewers)

[Mile High]

Why does the backup always look better?

Cause they're fresh, motivated, come in for less carries and rip off a couple good runs and look more "impressive' then the lead back who is making some runs for very short yardage or losses.

See CJ a few weeks ago.

 

[iamkoza]

so... did the bye week fix the bronco's terrible O-line? manning was not pressured at all and they ran at will all game.... the polar opposite of the first 6 games

 

[tigerz]

Wow, I feel like an idiot. Debated it long before the start of the games today and decided to drop CJ for Darkwa. Figured with Hillman being the starter it would require a lot of things to go right for him to be start worthy. Wanted to hold him in case this happened but my gamble lossed. Oh well.

 

[dipandglide]

Cja wasn't healthy and the oline sucked. Has he looked good? no. But its obv that he'll continue to get touches and we've seen in the past he has talent. It'll be interesting to see how he does the roty. If he's gonna return to last year's form the online is gonna have to play much better

 

[avina1]

Still glad I dropped him for Diggs. Since I probably won't be able to snag him back, I think I'll go for David Cobb.

 

[VikingFrog]

Yahoo blurb mentions he got the work in the second half due to a thigh injury to Hillman.

Wasn't aware of that last night. I'm assuming it's not serious, although never know after the bloodbath yesterday.

Remember remember the 1st of November.

 

[ATB]

I personally thought he looked better than Hillman.

 

[sbonomo]

I am still okay with the fact that he is not potentially starting at any point for my team. I just don't trust him or that o-line this year on top of splitting carries at best.

 

[dmac37]

I personally thought he looked better than Hillman.

This.

Now healthy he looked real good, I think this still remains a time share but I can see CJ being the 1A and if/when the workload knocks Hillman out CJ becomes a strong RB1 if the O-line has in fact turned things around.

 

[Sarlakticacid]

V Davis trade will help o line. I hope they do what it takes to get Joe Thomas from Cle

 

[cowboys88]

All re-aboard the CJ train! CHOO CHOOOO!

 

[Bracie Smathers]

I thought he looked mighty fast on that TD run.

Matt Harmon had him clocked at 20.93 mph on that run. One of the fastest NFL players clocked last Sunday (9th of 10 listed)

Oh, and no surprise, Gurley was the second fastest player in Week 8, per NextGenStats. Gurley is just special, man.

​

 

[Bracie Smathers]

Matt Harmon has made some pretty good fantasy calls this year and he thinks CJ looks like he has returned to form when he was trusting his line like he did last year.

Still don't feel like 2014 CJ Anderson was a fluke. He's back to running like himself, and trusting his line again http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-game-highlights/0ap3000000570908/Broncos-C-J-Anderson-runs-for-19-yards …

you hear that ? you hear that noise ?? Its the CJ train warming up !!!!!!

 

[LawFitz]

He had turf toe to open the season. Turf toe, even in mild form, can sap a runner's explosiveness and really needs rest to heal. Based on CJA's comments, he was being too stubborn to rest earlier in the year. Maybe the bye week was exactly what he needed.

 

[jbz]

Turf toe is nasty stuff. I've always thought it was a multi-week, lingering type injury. 1 bye week seems quick. Maybe CJ had a mild sprain or something. He did look like the better RB.

can it heal without really resting it ?

 

[SameSongNDance]

Oh yeah, I bid 15.3% of my budget on him and lost to a guy who spent 20.9%. Even with Hillman likely usurping lead back duties, I still project him to see a lot of 3rd down work and see a decent amount of receptions moving forward. Something like 12-15 touches moving forward, 3-5 of them being receptions is obviously plausible and will still make him flex worthy in the correct match-up.

Here are his touches vs. GB. The OL largely looked improved and CJA looked to be in 2014 form. I definitely should have bid more, it was a huge mistake.

 

[BustedKnuckles]

Coach Gary Kubiak confirmed Ronnie Hillman (questionable, thigh) "definitely will start" Sunday.
Hillman is fully expected to play despite his questionable tag. He should lead the backfield in snaps, but will continue losing work to C.J. Anderson. Hillman is Rotoworld's No. 20 running back for Week 9.

 

[ATB]

Contemplating starting him even tho I have Gurley, DWill, JStew and DLew projected to have more points than him.

I just like his matchup more than JStew and DLew.

 

[Evilgrin 72]

Dropped in a $200 buy in league yesterday, firing my entire remaining $76 FAAB at him. I hope to hell that wasn't a fluke. Could win me this league after losing Le'Veon.

And yes, I will keep you posted.

Isn't it weird how all year we were talking about CJ losing snaps to Hillman?

Kinda in the same boat. Dropped this week by an impatient owner. I'm no. 3 on our waiver wire next week. Hope to pick him up to replace Bell as well.

I have lost Bell AND Foster. Hoping like heck this guy can maybe save my season.

I, too, will keep y'all informed.

 

[Evilgrin 72]

Well, the $76 bought him. Rolling him out this week. Fingers crossed.

This is a fantastic cut up. Good job SSnD. ​

The Broncos lost their backup OLT Ty Sambriallo (sp?) but CJ didn't appear to miss a beat and he even had his long scoring run with the backup tackle in the game so that was good to see.

The only thing that could change things is how the Broncos will use newly traded for TE Vernon Davis because it appeared they were keeping in an in-line blocking TE to assist the back-up their OLT. Early buzz is how excited they are about Vernon's speed and they can't exploit that unless they use him as a move TE but CJ looks great in the link that Same Song and Dance provided if you haven't checked it out.

 

[Team Smokin']

I'm beginning to feel it with CJ again. Just when I thought all was lost and Hillman was going to be the man, Wham, CJ has come back from the wounded. I ended up trading D Adams for him before trade deadline ended in our league.

 

[shadyridr]

You always want the backup rb in Denver

 

[Team Smokin']

I lost L Bell who started alongside D Martin. This week it is D Martin and F Gore or CJ Anderson. Anderson is pegged in right now and I think he has a very good game as well.

I'm glad to see you're interested. I'm starting him this week over free agent acquisition Pierre Thomas. I have Forsett and Charcandrick on byes, so I had to start Thomas alongside DeAngelo if I hadn't won CJ. Now, I'm starting CJ and D-Will. Will post my score Sunday and Monday so you'll know how I'm doing.

Starting him, Martin and Ingram. Choo choo kOOk.

Thanks. If it pays off, I think it will be. I tried shopping Eli Manning for Jeremy Hill to a guy who's 5 deep at RB and doesn't even flex Hill. He has recently productive but definitely iffy options at QB (Hoyer and Tyrod) but he laughed me out of the room. I really had no choice. I need this week's game to stay in the running for a first round bye and couldn't risk a goose egg from Thomas. Nothing else on the wire of note, down to the Darkwas and Chris Thompsons of the world. I'm deep at QB and WR so I was saving my FAAB to take a shot at an RB. I might have waited to see if another top back went down and then snagged his backup but with the immediate need this week, I had to make a move. Two of the other teams jockeying for playoff position with me both had $75 remaining, so I had to empty the tank to ensure I got him.

No, I don't have Hillman. I needed a bye week plug in for this week and week 11 and was hoping for a guy that could keep me afloat those two weeks and also had potential to be an every week starter if circumstances went in his favor. Not a lot of guys that can deliver (hopefully) on both counts. When one unexpectedly hit the wire, I had to secure him. $76 of FAAB doesn't help me at the end of the year.

 

[ryno1980]

Spent 100 percent of my Faab on him this week. $1. Could be a good return on investment down the stretch if I have any RB injuries.

 

[zoonation]

He will take the job back now that he is healthy.

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

He looked really strong in that cut up SSAD posted above. He got something out of not much several times, and mostly inside the tackles too -- which is why Hillman should be hearing footsteps again.

 

[Wooderson]

I don't know if I have the heart to give him another chance. The hurt is just too fresh.

 

[Sarlakticacid]

Seems like they were getting more success/less failure from the power runs opposed to the Zone runs
