Hillman will be inactive because of fumbles. Ball has not impressed either. Moreno also had an awful game vs Indy last week. Anderson is going to be active for the first time.

Choo choo, handcuffing Moreno with him since Ball is taken. Excited to see him in action!

Right there with you. If Moreno goes down, I don't want to risk losing that production.

Any word on his pass blocking?

Well we know if Thomas finds the pot of gold he can't pick it up.
That leaves Ball and Anderson. Moreno seems to be in the way of both. Of course as we have learned, all Moreno does is do his job in all phases very well, but for whatever reason the Broncos just keep looking for that "special" back.

Cecil said on his twitter page that he's assuming his pass blocking got better, but he didn't sound definitive in his tweet. I think that's pretty much the best opinion we'll get until we see it for ourselves.buddhacwru said:

My mistake, in my haste to get the info out quickly I mixed up Moreno with Hillman. Moreno has averaged under 3 yards a carry the last two games though. So he hasn't been awful, just okay. I was piecing the information together to illustrate the fact that Denver could be looking to give their run game a jolt.

Thinking of dropping mcgahee for him. He's nearly unstartable and has no upside. Anderson prob won't do anything but it might be a good preemptive pick up.

5'8" 220, sounds like a bowling ball of an RB, excited to see what he can do with those fresh legs. Moreno is not know for his burst, and he seems to be slowing even more lately, but he is a great blocker. I guess Anderson will challenge Ball for the "closer" role to start...Just hold on to the ball son...

Possibly but everything always comes down to production. If a guy gets a couple carries and breaks one for 18 yards chances are he gets another carry. Especially with the buzz around the kid. The Denver backfield is a gold mine. It's made a horrible RB like Moreno a top 5 back. If some thing happens to him or Anderson does something with his touches who knows what will happen. I'd put the likelihood at prob under 5% but if you've got a dead spot it might not be a bad pick up. I think I'm gonna grab him and if he doesn't get any touches I'll drop him in a week or so.RB is sooo thin that if he gets 5 touches this weekend and looks decent he'll definitely be picked up in my competitive league. At the bottom of the wire I'll have no shot.

On board because why the #### not (deep league). The hype got me.
This kid was the best RB in the preseason for the Broncos but then got injured.
Moreno is the best pass blocker. Monte Ball has fumble problems too and can't catch out of the backfield.
The best thing for CJ Anderson would be for the Broncos to absolutely demolish the Redskins in the first half and Anderson gets time. I'd be shocked if he doesn't get at least 3-5 carries otherwise.

Suddenly feel that way in one of my leagues. Need a plug in play and looking at Anderson and a couple of other shaky options.
Might just roll w/ Anderson for the hell of it.

I wouldn't say Ball is any more out of favor than Anderson. At least Ball has seen the active roster every week, and would have continued to do so had Hillman not fumbled.tsarc888 said:
With that said, I've still added Anderson as a short-term stash in several leagues. He has a high "urgency factor" (i.e. there's a good chance we gain a lot of clarity about him in the next week or two), and I've been known to be wrong in the past.

Lammey said it was bad during camps. Not quite as bad as Ball, but still bad.buddhacwru said:

Klis is reporting it for the Denver post. Doesn't make it a 100% lock, but this is one rumor that appears to have some legs to it.

Before the game maybe not, but all it will take is a couple impressive moments during the game to earn more reps. The barrier to RB2 is only Ball now and he's been very underwhelming. If Anderson looks good he could cement a role that would be immeasurably valuable if Moreno breaks down during the stretch run.

force feeding Hillman? It looked to me like they force fed Moreno all night. Hillman looked better than Moreno IMO. If he doesnt fumble last game I believe he would have gotten much more playing time this week

Ya but ball has done absolutely nothing this year so the bar is extremely low. The opportunity to impress is there if he gets the shot.

Yes but 3rd on the depth chart has been a different experience in Denver this year.
Moreno has 95 carries
Hillman 40
Ball 43
So while Moreno has had a little over 50% of the carries - the other half have been split between 2nd & 3rd string.
That doesn't mean that Anderson steps in and gets ~25% of the carries this week. It could be all Moreno & Ball - but the scenario seems likely he would get some carries this week - and thus the opportunity to surpass Bell on the depth chart. Or maybe become the short yardage back. Or maybe inactive next week.

Sure, which is why I added him in a couple of leagues. There is a non-zero chance that Anderson's value sees a huge spike in the next couple of weeks. I mean, I wouldn't say it's a GOOD chance, but it's definitely not a 0% chance. He's a good guy to grab early, hold for a week or two to see if anything's doing, and then if the likely happens and Anderson is a complete afterthought, you can move on to someone else.

Yeah. I like to call this "urgency"- a player's value is in flux, and we'll get some sort of resolution on it very soon. I like using roster spots on "high urgency players", because the ones that don't work out can be quickly dropped and replaced with someone else. As long as it's clear we're all just throwing something at the wall, crossing our fingers, and hoping it sticks.

Agree completely, especially with the last roster spot or two. Just this year I did that with Stacy, Allen and Ellington in several leagues that have been good adds. If they don't work out you punt them for the next flavor of the week. This is all the more important these days with such transparency in FF...if a player has a good week every site/podcast has those guys on their WW pickup list and unless you're at the top of the wire or want to spend a ton of faab $'s you need to make preemptive pickups BEFORE they hit.
