7. C.J. Anderson, RB, Denver Broncos

Anderson was breakout star last year, taking over for Montee Ball mid-season. Anderson rushed for 767 yards as a starter to go along with eight touchdowns. He was a threat in the passing game too, as he had 290 receiving yards with two receiving touchdowns.

He was only a starter for eight games, which makes these numbers top notch. It looks like Anderson has picked up where Knowshon Moreno left off. The defense is spaced out to cover Peyton Manning, but in doing so, the run game becomes much more dominant.

With that being said, Anderson should have a marvelous season this year, like Moreno did in 2013. Anderson’s one problem is that Montee Ball isn’t going away. The Broncos made sure Ball got some reps, which took away from Anderson’s performance. Ball keeps stating that he is “1B” to Anderson’s “1A”, which speculates some concern that he would be given more playing time this season. Even when Ball came back last season, Anderson still got the majority of carries, and still put up incredible Fantasy numbers.
