1. C.J. Anderson

Anderson, a 2014 Pro Bowl selection and one of the most clutch players on the Broncos’ roster over the last two seasons has earned himself a new contract and the featured back role on this team. Anderson is not only one of the Broncos’ most critical players, he’s one of the most integral vocal leaders on the team.

What He Brings to the table

Anderson is a powerful back with quick feet that runs with a low center of gravity. He can break tackles, but he’s also shown he can get out on the perimeter and make plays deep downfield. He doesn’t burn guys very often, but when he gets a full head of steam, he’s difficult to stop.

He’s also a great receiver and pass blocker, providing the Broncos with a back that can play all three downs.

2016 Outlook

Starter — leader on the team in carries, yards, touchdowns, etc…
