Denver Broncos RB C.J. Anderson finished the year as the team's No. 1 running back and made the Pro Bowl, but new head coach Gary Kubiak said Anderson must still earn the starting role for the 2015 season. "He's got to go earn that," Kubiak said. "When he walked off the field last year he was playing that way. He's a young player. I told him that when I talked to him. I said, 'C.J. when you come back for the offseason you need to handle yourself like you're the starter.' I think he's ready to do that."

Fantasy Tip: Anderson should enter the offseason and summer workouts as the favorite to remain the team's top back, barring an injury. With a new zone-blocking scheme in place in Denver, it should only make Anderson more intriguing to fantasy owners. There's a possibility that he could be worth as high as a second-round pick this year as an RB1.

Denver Broncos RB C.J. Anderson is not guaranteed to be the team's starting tailback in 2015. "He's got to go earn that," Kubiak said Wednesday, Feb. 18. "When he walked off the field last year he was playing that way. He's a young player. I told him that when I talked to him. I said, 'C.J. when you come back for the offseason you need to handle yourself like you're the starter. I think he's ready to do that."

Fantasy Tip: Anderson has the potential to be a bona fide No. 1 fantasy running back, as he showed in the second half of the 2014 season. But a healthy Montee Ball and Ronnie Hillman will obviously have something to say about that, too.

Denver Broncos RB C.J. Anderson, who finished the year with 849 rushing yards, 324 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns, is looking forward to his role in new head coach Gary Kubiak's offense in 2015. Kubiak typically runs a zone-blocking offense that is friendly to running backs. "I have known about his system for a while, and what he accomplished," Anderson said of Kubiak. "One cut downhill and go get it. It fits me and the offense well. It's always been successful. He knows the team we have and what we can do. I can't wait to get started working with him."

Fantasy Tip: Despite being buried on the depth chart to start the 2014 season, Anderson wound up as the team's most productive runner thanks to injuries to Montee Ball and Ronnie Hillman. Because of the year he had, Anderson figures to be the team's main back (if healthy) heading into the season. Depending on what happens at QB in Denver, that should make Anderson pretty attractive as an RB2 in Kubiak's offense.

Denver Broncos RB C.J. Anderson has been named to the 2015 Pro Bowl as a replacement for Pittsburgh Steelers RB Le'Veon Bell (knee).

Fantasy Tip: Anderson took over the starting running back job in the middle of the season and should enter training camp next season as the starting running back. Anderson likely will be taken in one of the first few rounds of fantasy drafts next season and could be a low-end No. 1 or No. 2 running back.

Denver Broncos RB C.J. Anderson (undisclosed) limped off the field with trainers in the team's divisional-round playoff game Sunday, Jan. 11, but is expected to return.

Fantasy Tip: It looks like Anderson was just shaken up and should be back in the game shortly.

Denver Broncos RB C.J. Anderson has rushed for three touchdowns on just 10 carries in three quarters of play versus the Oakland Raiders in Week 17. He has 57 yards on the ground.

Fantasy Tip: While Ronnie Hillman has more carries at this point, Anderson has been a touchdown machine for owners in league championships and DFS games.

Denver Broncos RB C.J. Anderson (ankle) practiced in full Friday, Dec. 26, and is probable for Week 17 against the Oakland Raiders.

Fantasy Tip: Anderson will play against the Raiders, although he could see fewer touches if Ronnie Hillman (foot) plays and is eased back in. However, with a great matchup against the Raiders, that shouldn't keep you from rolling with Anderson at FantasyScore at least as an RB2.

Denver Broncos RB C.J. Anderson (ankle) fully participated in practice Thursday, Dec. 25.

Fantasy Tip: Anderson should continue to see a majority of the carries and will be facing an Oakland Raiders run defense that has allowed the third most fantasy points to running backs this season. Owners can consider Anderson as a low-end No. 1 running back or a No. 2 back.

Denver Broncos RB C.J. Anderson (ankle) practiced in full Wednesday, Dec. 24.

Fantasy Tip: Anderson ($5,555) has come down to earth a bit in recent weeks, but he remains the team's top back, which counts for a lot in fantasy football. Against the Oakland Raiders in Week 17, he should be a fine play in daily games. Anderson had his coming-out party the first time Denver faced Oakland earlier this year.

Denver Broncos RB C.J. Anderson is expected to start in Week 16 against the Cincinnati Bengals Monday, Dec. 22, and he does not have to worry about RB Ronnie Hillman (foot), who is inactive.

Fantasy Tip: Anderson will likely get a lion's share of the carries with Hillman sidelined yet again, with Juwan Thompson also factoring in for a handful of touches. But the top fantasy option in the backfield will be Anderson.
