The Broncos found a gem last year with running back C.J. Anderson. He was expected to be a focal point in the Broncos new offense but was slowed in Week 1 due to a toe and foot injury. To add insult to injury, the Broncos are on a short week but Anderson will be active and is expected to start tonight.
Not much of a surprise, but despite being listed as questionable with a toe injury, Broncos RB C.J. Anderson will play tonight, per source.

Peyton Manning wasn’t too impressive in Week 1 and will need a strong rushing attack to get a win over the Chiefs tonight. If Anderson isn’t effective, I expect the Broncos to give Ronnie Hillman his share of carried. Hillman lead the team last week with 12 carries for 41-yards. CJ had 12 carries as well for o lay 29 yards. That’s 2.4 yards per carries which is unacceptable. Fantasy owners play CJ Anderson at your own discretion tonight. Hillman might be the better option.
