Denver Broncos RB C.J. Anderson gained just 17 yards on nine carries in a Week 6 loss to the New York Giants.

Fantasy Tip: No one saw this game coming, and it was a huge disappointment for Anderson owners. Keep him in your lineup as an RB2, however, because the Los Angeles Chargers are up next and Anderson is bound to rebound.

Denver Broncos RB C.J. Anderson carried 20 times for 95 yards and caught four passes for 17 yards in a 16-10 win over the Oakland Raiders Sunday, Oct. 1.

Fantasy Tip: Anderson has topped 80 rushing yards in three of the four games this season, and he continues to dominant the backfield touches. Denver has bye in Week 5, but Anderson should be a solid RB2 against the New York Giants in Week 6.

Denver Broncos RB C.J. Anderson rushed eight times for 36 yards in the Week 3 loss in Buffalo and he added two catches for seven yards on his only two targets.

Fantasy Tip: Anderson was a bust for his fantasy owners after a couple of solid performances to open the season. He'll look to get back on track in Week 4 against the Raiders.

Denver Broncos RB C.J. Anderson said he is in the best shape of his life thanks to an improved training program designed to help him stay healthy. "I am doing some things, recovery-wise, to keep my body fresh and to keep my mind fresh," Anderson said.

Fantasy Tip: Anderson is off to a strong start, and he had the most carries of any back through the first two weeks. Locked into a workhorse role, consider him a high-end RB2 against Buffalo in Week 3.

Denver Broncos RB C.J. Anderson rushed 25 times for 118 yards and a touchdown in Week 2 against the Dallas Cowboys and he added 36 yards on three catches with a score.

Fantasy Tip: Anderson has re-emerged as a fantasy beast so far in 2017, averaging 99.5 rushing yards per game. After a torn meniscus ended his 2016 season prematurely, he appears to be fresh and better than ever. He is a must-start fantasy option heading into Week 3 in Buffalo.

Denver Broncos RB C.J. Anderson ran for 80 yards on 20 carries as his team won, 24-21, over the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday, Sept. 11.

Fantasy Tip: Anderson looked good in his first go-round of the season, even though he did not score. With Jamaal Charles looking healthy as well, it looks like Anderson is an RB2 whose reps could be split. How much so remains to be seen. Anderson is worth starting in fantasy leagues, and as always analyze matchups.

Denver Broncos RB C.J. Anderson is in his best shape "in three or four years," according to head coach Vance Joseph.

Fantasy Tip: Anderson's devoted his offseason to improving his longevity, which has been an issue considering he has been unable to play 16 games in any of his four seasons. With Devontae Booker recovering from a fractured wrist and Jamaal Charles limited early in camp, Anderson had an opportunity to put some distance between himself and competition over the next week or so. Given his track record, Anderson should be viewed as a midrange fantasy RB2.

Denver Broncos head coach Vance Joseph is planning on using a running-back-by-committee system in the upcoming season. "You need two or three guys that can carry the load," Joseph said. "It is no longer a one-guy position. I'm excited to have Jamaal (Charles), C.J. (Anderson), (Devontae Booker), even De'Angelo (Henderson) in the mix there. It's a good group. It's going to be competitive, and that's the way it should be."

Fantasy Tip: Anderson figures to lead the way throughout the campaign, but it looks like he may not get as much work as his fantasy owners will desire, especially since he's coming back from a significant injury. With Charles and Booker also in town, it looks like this will be a tricky situation to deal with in 2017.

Denver Broncos head coach Vance Joseph told reporters Friday, May 12, there will be competition for the starting running back job in training camp, presumably between C.J. Anderson, Jamaal Charles and Devontae Booker.

Fantasy Tip: Joseph may actually be leaning toward a committee approach based on his comments Friday. Assuming Charles is anywhere close to his former self, he should be considered the leader, although his recent injury woes makes him a poor bet to hold up all season. Anderson is most likely going to be the most valuable player in this bunch in 2017, but he has yet to prove he can handle a heavy workload for a full season. As a result, none of these backs may be worth anything more than flex consideration in 2017.

Denver Broncos RB C.J. Anderson (knee) is a full participant as organized team activities commence Monday, April 10, according to head coach Vance Joseph. Anderson has been recovering from an anterior cruciate ligament injury and subsequent surgery since last season.

Fantasy Tip: Anderson has had plenty of time to recover, but the Broncos may still take it somewhat easy with their expected starting running back. If Anderson comes out of the offseason at 100 percent health, he's an RB2 consideration for the 2017 season.

Denver Broncos RB C.J. Anderson (knee) might not be ready for the start of organized team activities Monday, April 10, according to head coach Vance Joseph. "If he's working in OTAs in the middle part of it, we'll be fine with him in the fall," Joseph conceded.

Fantasy Tip: Anderson lasted just seven games this past season after sustaining a knee injury in late-October. Previously, the 26-year-old had established himself nicely as Denver's starting running back, averaging almost five yards per carry in each of the two prior campaigns. Depending on where he's at health-wise entering 2017, Anderson should at least be able to offer RB2 value.

Denver Broncos RB C.J. Anderson (knee) is expected to be cleared from his knee surgery in two weeks, according to sources.

Fantasy Tip: Just how involved Anderson will be in offseason activities remains to be seen, but he should be at least close to full go by the time offseason activities commence. Anderson figures to the Broncos' main running back again this season, but he'll need to beat out Devontae Booker and possibly others this offseason. If he does retain the starting position, he'll be an RB2 consideration.

Denver Broncos RB C.J. Anderson (knee) said he has been running at full speed and expects to be cleared for all football-related activities later this month. He said he has not make any cuts while running yet but is not feeling much pain.

Fantasy Tip: Anderson was limited to seven games because of the injury and finished the season with 437 yards and four touchdowns. He may be part of a committee at running back for the Broncos in 2017 but could be the main option in that committee. He probably should be considered a No. 2 or No. 3 running back in fantasy next season.

Denver Broncos RB C.J. Anderson (knee) has started running on a treadmill and believes he will be ready for the start of training camp.

Fantasy Tip: Anderson probably will not do much during the offseason workouts but should enter training camp as the starting running back. He should receive most of the work at the position in 2017 and can be a No. 2 or No. 3 running back in fantasy leagues.

Denver Broncos RB C.J. Anderson (knee) is not likely to return from the Reserve/Injured list this season, head coach Gary Kubiak said Wednesday, Dec. 21. "I had a good sit-down with C.J. yesterday. He's doing pretty good. The plan is for him to maybe start running in the next two weeks," Kubiak said. "I'd say he's probably on course (to return) sometime in February."

Fantasy Tip: Anderson was dropped from plenty of fantasy rosters when he was originally hurt near the end of October. For those picking him up recently, it appears you can safely drop him and add someone else who will help.

Denver Broncos RB C.J. Anderson (knee) has shed his knee brace in his recovery from knee surgery, according to a video he posted on social media Monday, Dec. 12.

Fantasy Tip: Anderson could possibly return for Week 17, but the impact in fantasy will probably be minimal. If anything, he could be a player to keep in mind for a DFS play in the final week or a potential playoff run.

Denver Broncos RB C.J. Anderson (knee) is ahead of schedule in his recovery from a torn meniscus.

Fantasy Tip: Anderson is currently on the Reserve/Injured list but could be activated near the end of the regular season. Owners should keep an eye on the situation, but he may not be valuable in some leagues if he returns Week 16 or Week 17. Devontae Booker will continue to be the starting running back and can be a No. 2 running back in most leagues.

Denver Broncos RB C.J. Anderson (knee) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Friday, Oct. 28.

Fantasy Tip: Anderson won't be able to return for eight weeks, effectively putting him out for the rest of the fantasy season. The coast is now clear for Devontae Booker to become an every-week RB1, although there is a strong possibility new backup Kapri Bibbs will steal enough touches to merit a stash in deeper leagues.

Updating a previous report, the Denver Broncos are determining whether or not to place RB C.J. Anderson (knee) on injured reserve and they expect to come to a decision within the next 24 hours.

Fantasy Tip: It's looking more likely than not that Anderson's season is over, but we'll know soon enough, according to this report. With him out indefinitely, Devontae Booker looks poised to emerge as a legitimate RB1 on a weekly basis.

Updating a previous report, Denver Broncos RB C.J. Anderson (knee) is expected to miss eight to 12 weeks because of his knee surgery, but the Broncos hope that he will be able to return for the playoffs. The severity of the injury will not be known until the surgery occurs.

Fantasy Tip: Devontae Booker will fill in for Anderson in the starting lineup and should receive most of the carries in the running game. He is coming off a solid game in Week 7 and can be a No. 2 running back in fantasy leagues.

Denver Broncos RB C.J. Anderson (knee) is scheduled to undergo surgery Thursday, Oct. 27, to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee. He likely will be placed on the Reserve/Injured list.

Fantasy Tip: Anderson probably will miss the rest of the season, so owners can drop him from their roster if they need another running back. Devontae Booker will receiver most of the playing time at running back moving forward and can be a No. 2 running back or a flex option in all leagues.

Updating earlier reports, Denver Broncos RB C.J. Anderson (knee) denied a report stating he has told people close to him that his season is over.

Fantasy Tip: Either way, Anderson's outlook for Week 8 is in question. Devontae Booker's workload has been raising the last couple of weeks, and his stock could soar if Anderson is out for a considerable amount of time. Booker is a solid flex play with a good matchup against the San Diego Chargers this week.

Devontae Booker's workload has been raising the last couple of weeks, and his stock could soar if Anderson is out for a considerable amount of time. Booker is a solid flex play with a good matchup against the San Diego Chargers this week.

Fantasy Tip: Devontae Booker's workload has been raising the last couple of weeks, and Anderson's bone bruise will likely keep him out this week. If it's not too late, Booker needs to be picked up universally. He's a solid flex play with a good matchup against the San Diego Chargers this week.

Denver Broncos RB C.J. Anderson (knee) is expected to miss at least a few weeks because of a knee injury. He is scheduled to receive a second opinion on the knee to see if he will be sidelined for an extended period of time.

Fantasy Tip: Devontae Booker probably will receive most of the snaps at running back with Anderson sidelined and is coming off a game where he rushed for 83 yards and one touchdown. He can be considered a No. 2 running back in most fantasy leagues. Kapri Bibbs likely will also receive limited playing time but should be avoided by owners.

Denver Broncos RB C.J. Anderson rushed 16 times for 107 yards and a touchdown in the Week 7 game against the Houston Texans Monday, Oct. 24.

Fantasy Tip: Anderson entered with four straight games of 50 or fewer rushing yards, so the season-high in yardage was very welcome by nervous fantasy owners. Anderson has rushed for four touchdowns in seven games and remains a decent RB2 in most fantasy leagues heading into Week 8 against the San Diego Chargers. He had 71 total yards from scrimmage on 14 touches in the first meeting in Week 6.

Fantasy Tip: Even with Booker potentially seeing some more action, Anderson should continue to see enough touches to be used as a RB2 against the Texans in Week 7.

Denver Broncos RB C.J. Anderson had 10 carries for 37 yards and four catches for 34 yards in a 21-13 loss to the San Diego Chargers in Week 6.

Fantasy Tip: Since a big Week 1, Anderson has struggled to run the ball, averaging no more than 3.7 yards per carry in each of his last five games. On the plus side, volume keeps him in the RB2 conversation.

Denver Broncos RB Ronnie Hillman is facing a battle for a roster spot, according to head coach Gary Kubiak. He is getting competition from rookie RB Devontae Booker and RB Kapri Bibbs for the right to back up starter RB C.J. Anderson. Hillman is expected to see plenty of action in the preseason game Saturday, Aug. 20, against the San Francisco 49ers. "Ronnie is in a battle, a helluva a battle with Kapri and Book right now," Kubiak said Monday, Aug. 15. "There's no way around that. I'm just being honest with you."

Fantasy Tip: Hillman might need to play more special teams and excel in the role to keep his spot on the roster. He posted 863 yards and seven touchdowns last season while adding 24 receptions. If he makes the team he is a solid handcuff to Anderson, but wait to see how the preseason plays out before risking a late-round fantasy pick on him.

Denver Broncos RBs Ronnie Hillman and Devontae Booker are listed as co-backups behind RB C.J. Anderson in Denver's initial depth chart.

Fantasy Tip: Booker has more upside, but Hillman's experience and versatility may give him more playing time out of the gate. The rookie should be drafted higher, though, but only for depth in traditional leagues. Hillman has been given plenty of chances and hasn't really run away with the opportunities, pun intended.

Denver Broncos RB C.J. Anderson said it's pretty obvious that head coach Gary Kubiak and the coaching staff will be more committed to the run this year after QB Peyton Manning retired. "I don't think there's a question what coach (Kubiak) wants to do," Anderson said recently. "All you have to do is look out there and see a fullback running around ... I mean, we even drafted one. (Kubiak) wants to run the ball." RBs Andy Janovich and Juwan Thompson have lined up at fullback in offseason practices. Denver used a two-back set just 25 times last year, but Kubiak is intent on going to the run more often moving forward. The Broncos beefed up their offensive line by adding OTs Russell Okung and Donald Stephenson, too.

Fantasy Tip: This is great news for Anderson, Ronnie Hillman and rookie Devontae Booker. Anderson will be the go-to back, but he's never shown he's a capable RB1 for fantasy purposes over a full season, so draft him as more of a low-end RB2. Booker has the skills to be a three-down back and therefor has more appeal and upside than Hillman as a potential flex play.

Denver Broncos RB Ronnie Hillman is still ahead of RB Devontae Booker to back up RB C.J. Anderson, according to Andrew Mason of denverbroncos.com. RB Kapri Bibbs will also compete with Hillman and Booker for backup duties.

Fantasy Tip: Denver will try to run the ball frequently this year, but the fantasy value of Booker and Hillman is minimal at this point. Booker probably has more upside, too, despite Hillman currently being ahead of him. Don't view either as more than an RB4, though.

Denver Broncos RB C.J. Anderson is in the best condition that head coach Gary Kubiak has seen him in, and Anderson has responded to competition. "He's ready to be an every down back," Kubiak said.

Fantasy Tip: He still has to show he can hold up for a full season. Anderson will have Devontae Booker and Ronnie Hillman on his heels, and he could sit on third downs and inside the 5-yard line. For now, Anderson is a high-end RB3 with upside.

Denver Broncos RB C.J. Anderson has looked like the No. 1 running back throughout organized team activities so far, and his cuts have been decisive like they were in the second half of last season after he recovered from his sprained ankle. Anderson is also adjusting well to having a fullback in front of him, with FBs Juwan Thompson and Andy Janovich competing for the role.

Fantasy Tip: Anderson has really showed flashes of brilliance the last two years with the Broncos, but he's yet to put a full season together, mainly because of nagging injuries. He's expected to see the majority of carries this year, but he'll have to fend off the likes of Ronnie Hillman and impressive rookie Devontae Booker. This zone-blocking scheme fits Anderson well, but he's more of an RB2 or 3 than a No. 1 fantasy starter like he was drafted for last year.

Denver Broncos FBs Andy Janovich and Juwan Thompson are battling for the starting fullback job. RB C.J. Anderson has worked with Thompson and built a relationship over the past two season, so they have timing down while working together. That's something Janovich will have to build with Anderson over time.

Fantasy Tip: Neither Janovich nor Thompson are likely to have much in the way of fantasy appeal, but their presence is good news for Anderson. They'll help to make bigger holes for the running back.

Denver Broncos RB C.J. Anderson will receive the bulk of the carries in 2016 with RB Ronnie Hillman providing a change of pace. RB Devontae Booker will have a chance to play on third downs if he can pick up pass protection.

Fantasy Tip: Anderson had a lot of hype last season and fell flat. The offense is pretty questionable now with Mark Sanchez lined up as the starting quarterback. It's a risk to take Anderson as anything more than a great RB3. Hillman has spurts, but he's little more than an RB4. Booker could be worth an RB5 flyer if he makes some noise in camp.

Denver Broncos RB C.J. Anderson said his role will be different in 2016 because he will control more when he's off the field, as opposed to alternating so much with RB Ronnie Hillman and others.

Fantasy Tip: It's clear that Anderson is Denver's primary running back right now. That's what he was supposed to be last season, but Hillman took the spotlight at times. Hillman will still take away a good amount of playing time from Anderson, but Anderson can still achieve RB2 status if he stays healthy.

Ohio State RB Ezekiel Elliott is being considered as an option for the 13th overall pick by the Miami Dolphins, who missed out on Arizona Cardinals RB Chris Johnson and Denver Broncos RB C.J. Anderson in free agency.

Fantasy Tip: Elliott has the all-around game to thrive in Adam Gase's offensive system, and he could provide RB2 value as a rookie. If Miami does use a first-round pick on Elliott, Jay Ajayi would no longer be a starting-caliber fantasy back.

Updating a previous report, Denver Broncos RB C.J. Anderson will receive a guaranteed $5.25 million signing bonus. His $675,000 base salary is also guaranteed. Additionally, $1.7 million of his $2.9 million 2017 base salary is also guaranteed. Anderson's base salaries of $4.5 million in 2018 and 2019 are not guaranteed, however. He'll need to be on Denver's roster to earn that.

Fantasy Tip: As stated earlier, Anderson retains his position as the Broncos' lead running back. Denver could still add a running back, though, via free agency or the NFL Draft. For now, keep Anderson in the RB2 conversation.

Denver Broncos restricted free-agent RB C.J. Anderson's offer sheet from the Miami Dolphins is being matched by the Broncos Tuesday, March 15, according to a source. Miami's offer sheet was four years in length and worth $18 million.

Fantasy Tip: This is a bit of a surprise as the Broncos seemed to be fine with letting Anderson go after giving him a low tender. Anderson is once again, for now, the lead running back for the Broncos. Ronnie Hillman is expected to leave town via free agency, so Denver will likely be adding another running back through free agency or the draft, too. Arian Foster is a name that has been rumored with the Broncos, especially with the connection to his former head coach, Gary Kubiak. Anderson's fantasy value would certainly take a hit if Foster joined Denver, but for now, Anderson is in RB2 territory.
