Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 12: C.J. Anderson

C.J. Anderson appears to be the featured back for the Broncos. Is there enough buzz to start him in your fantasy league?

Kyle Terada-USA TODAY Sports

The Denver Broncos are running out of running backs these days. Ronnie Hillman could miss the rest of the season while Montee Ball aggravated his groin injury twice in Week 11 and could miss several weeks.

That leaves C.J. Anderson as the primary ball carrier for this week's game against the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins have been one of the best defenses in the NFL, ranking eighth in rushing yards per game and seventh in yards per carry. They've been particularly effective in the last three weeks and have kept teams under 65 yards in every game in that span.

That said, the Broncos are at home and they're going to get their points on offense. Plus, Anderson is more likely to score with tight end Julius Thomas and receiver Emmanuel Sanders not at 100 percent. He could also help in the passing game.

Fantasy impact: Anderson is basically a must-start player and should be viewed as a solid RB1.
