While the Denver Broncos are pretty set at quarterback and receiver, they have a mess at running back. Ronnie Hillman is going to miss the next couple weeks with a foot injury, but they'll get Montee Ball back from a groin issue in Week 11 against the St. Louis Rams.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 11: C.J. Anderson
C.J. Anderson was a star last week, but should fantasy owners toss him into their starting lineups?

Running back C.J. Anderson broke out against the Oakland Raiders in Week 10 with 90 rushing yards, 73 receiving yards and one score in 17 touches. Before last week, Anderson was a ghost on the depth chart and had multiple healthy scratches, so the big game was a bit of a surprise.
The Broncos are expected to run a hot-hand approach this week, which is certainly Anderson right now after his last performance. He gets a mediocre matchup against the Rams, but the Broncos are pretty much matchup-proof anyway. Plus, the team will likely be careful with Ball because they won’t want him to aggravate his ankle injury.
Fantasy impact: It won’t be easy to start Anderson, but he’s a solid RB2 with a massive ceiling. If you’re comfortable with a safer option and your team is solid elsewhere, there’s nothing wrong with benching him. He should be owned in all leagues, though.
