CJ Anderson, Juwan Thompson's Post-Week 13 Fantasy Reaction

Joseph ZuckerNov 30, 2014

The Denver Broncos beat the Kansas City Chiefs 29-16 on Sunday night, and C.J. Anderson was a big reason why. The running back's fantasy continues to trend upward.

Anderson was the team's best offensive player.

Troy Renck of The Denver Post marveled at how quickly the 23-year-old's stamped his place on the team:

With Montee Ball and Ronnie Hillman both out, Anderson had a great opportunity to continue proving why he should be the feature back going forward. So far, he's provided little reason why he shouldn't.

Even when Ball and/or Hillman return, you shouldn't immediately offload Anderson. Denver should stay with the hot hand, at the very least giving Anderson 10-15 carries a game. That would be enough to maintain fantasy relevance.

The same can't be said of Juwan Thompson, who did get a few touches on Sunday.

He benefits the most from Ball and Hillman being out. And even now, he doesn't do enough to warrant waiver-wire consideration.

His value won't be going up anytime soon, either.
