cincy slammers Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Per Rotoworld: http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/7440/ronnie-hillman Time for CJ? The Denver Post reports Ronnie Hillman will miss "at least two weeks" with a mid-foot sprain in his right foot. The Denver Post's Mike Klis says Hillman suffered the injury in Sunday's win over Oakland. He entered that game battling an assortment of injuries. C.J. Anderson took over as Denver's featured back and went off, showing plus versatility and an attacking, downhill style as a runner. With the Rams on deck, Anderson should be added in all fantasy leagues. Anderson has outplayed Juwan Thompson by a significant margin, and Montee Ball (groin) seems unlikely to be immediately reinstalled as more than a timeshare back.

sksmith Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 (edited) That's a very odd, if not factually incorrect, analysis of Anderson's performance in comparison to Thompson: "outplayed Thompson by a significant margin"? Anderson had barely been used in the absence of Ball. If Ball is healthy, I'm not so sure a single good game against Oakland as fill-in for a fill-in suddenly makes Anderson a valid fantasy consideration. Unless Ball was held out yesterday for health concerns they're not disclosing, I think this just means he comes back to his old job Edited November 10, 2014 by sksmith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wpayers Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 If Ball is active and Hillman is out, why wouldn't Ball get the start? After all, he was their #1 back going into the season and wasn't benched due to performance. Granted, Thompson/Anderson will get carries, possibly 40-50% split between them, but I doubt either would move ahead on Ball on the depth chart.

heracles Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 I read somewhere ball lost weight and he feels quicker.. Maybe he will surprise us and this will help him and us for rest of season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tripleshot Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Sounds like the Broncos are going to see how Ball practices this week and go with whoever is healthy. Ball says he's gotta win his old job back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rileyrott Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Ball was saying that regarding Hillman, not sure if it applies to CJ and/or Thompson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin_Akie Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Ball was saying that regarding Hillman, not sure if it applies to CJ and/or Thompson. I presume he was talking long term. If he's healthy this week then he's got a lucky break to play without Hillman taking carries, this is his chance to shine. Although the Rams look like a tough matchup on the ground based on recent weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phat Rugby Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 I find it amusing that many people are claiming CJ as the "next big thing." I'm sure he will be the big pick up this week. Reminds me of 7-8 other RBs that were in the same situation only to never duplciate thier performance. He did it against the Raiders. My Grandmother could be a good RB prospect against them. He warrented some more touches but it's Ball's job if he can play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efranklin Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 (edited) I have to think if Ball is healthy he'll be starting against St. Louis. I'm staying away from Anderson, just don't see him doing much if Ball is back. Edited November 11, 2014 by efranklin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bud29 Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 SO where are all the people bashing me for saying I traded mckinnon for ball and raving about him You really have reading comprehension issues. Nobody was bashing you for any trade, although you act like everyone did. We were just calling you out for absurd nuthugging of Ball despite Hillman obviously outplaying him.

Blasto95 Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Maybe ball gets the start but I see it at least being 50/50 in touches. Ball is still working his way back. If he didn't get injured, I think eventually ball would've been benched or put in a RBBC. I wouldn't be confident in them handing the starting job to ball off the bat after another rb had a great game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onbrake Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Ball has not performed like a #1 RB. So CJ will get some touches.Maybe a 60/40 split. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is Montee Ball is a running back that can catch out of the backfiedl.. he can make people miss in the open... I really dont see old man peyton letting Montee hang out to dry. He gets him involved this week in a SERIOUS way. Check downs screens etc. It seems everytime a player is "DUE" or over "DUE" peyton recognizes that in SUCH A BIG way and helps them put up #'s theres no reason in my mind to believe that monte Ball WONT have the biggest day this sunday as a Broncos offensive player. none at all.. Monte will carry 17 times for 84 and catch 9 for 50 and a TD IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InTomWeTrust Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 seems logical you will take a virtually inactive palyer a couple weeks ago and make him the bell cow because he had a good day vs the oakland raiders and caught some open screeens Please tell me you dont really think hes beating monte ball in practice ???
