Sit ‘Em
C.J. Anderson came into the year as the likely candidate to be the Broncos bell cow running back and was a high draft pick in the majority of fantasy football leagues.
He has severely disappointed all his fantasy owners so far this season, not scoring above six fantasy points in any game this season.
Now, coming off of a bye week, Anderson and the Denver Broncos matchup with another undefeated squad in the Green Bay Packers. A game with the high promise that should be one to remember.
While this matchup looks to be good for most other offensive players in this game, Anderson has almost lost his starting gig completely to teammate Ronnie Hillman. Hillman is quicker, and a better pass catcher than Anderson is, and he fits better with what Peyton is trying to do.
This has forced Anderson into basically a backup role and has devastated his fantasy owners with very lackadaisical numbers.
He should not be anything but a backup back on any team. Don’t start him anymore until further notice.
