CJ Anderson

The offensive line for the Denver Broncos expects to be night and day better than a year ago. This in turn helps the running game of CJ Anderson improve this year. It is been noted of Anderson’s weight in the offseason, but he appears more focused now with Training Camp right around the corner. Anderson’s favorite hobby off the field is bowling and he translates that to his on the field play. He bounces off of defenders making him difficult to bring down on first contact.

Anderson is a prime candidate to see a resurgence in 2017 and player that may see 1,000 yards for the first time in his career. If healthy, Anderson potentially is the best second half running back in the NFL. Imagine what he could for a full season?

Also noted in 2017 is the new offense with Mike McCoy. Remember, Anderson stated with Peyton Manning he reads a play better out of the shotgun than in the backfield. McCoy’s playbook with the Broncos back in the day primarily relied on the shotgun. This in turn should bode well for Anderson and your fantasy team this season.
