C.J. Anderson may be the last man standing in the Denver Broncos backfield after Montee Ball aggravated his groin injury on Sunday. Ronnie Hillman will likely be out even longer with a foot injury. There really isn't much preventing Anderson from running away with feature back duties for at least the next few weeks. In Week 11, Anderson rushed for 29 yards on nine carries. He made up for it in the receiving game, catching eight of his ten targets for 86 yards. The Broncos have found themselves with many of their key players banged up. Anderson will likely see a large workload out of the backfield as a result.

Fantasy impact: Anderson is going to reward fantasy owners even if only from sheer quantity of touches. He’ll eat clock when the Broncos are leading on the scoreboard, and he’ll contribute as a receiver in any scenario. Anderson will once again be one of the hotter waiver wire adds in Week 12. He should be owned in all leagues.
