Editor’s update: Hillman will start, per Ian Rapoport. C.J. Anderson’s status is less certain, and would be very limited if he plays.
Ronnie Hillman injury update: RB questionable for Broncos, fantasy owners
The Denver Broncos’ running back is listed as questionable for Week 14. We break down the fantasy implications.

Denver Broncos running back Ronnie Hillman (foot) is listed as questionable for the team's Week 14 matchup against the Oakland Raiders. Hillman did not participate in practice Wednesday or Thursday before being upgraded to a limited participant Friday. Despite the questionable tag, Hillman is expected to suit up.
Fantasy impact: Hillman was announced as the team's starter Friday. With fellow running back CJ Anderson (ankle) looking unlikely to play, Hillman will actually be in for significant work this week. Juwan Thompson will be Hillman's backup but shouldn't siphon off too much of the workload. Despite splitting carries with Anderson, Hillman has been solid this season with six touchdowns and three games over 100 yards rushing. He won't have to deal with an overly intimidating matchup in the Raiders. Their defense allows the 12th-most fantasy points to opposing running backs. Hillman will make for a solid RB2 play, assuming that Anderson is inactive.
