Last week I said his stock had to be at an all-time low, and I was wrong. He continues to plummet. Week 5 had him facing the Raiders, and in a game where Ronnie Hillman tweaked his hamstring and Juwan Thompson was dealing with a hammy issue of his own, Anderson failed to do anything.
He rushed for 22 yards on 11 carries, and yes a 2.0 YPC figure is atrocious. If I can scoop him up anywhere for desperately cheap, I still am. Maybe this is one of my last bastions of stubbornness in my refusal to let 2014 go, but dang it the Broncos schedule is so sweet moving forward, and even if Anderson is just a 1B to Hillman's 1A in a worst case scenario, he may produce enough for a flex role.
With some owners straight up dropping Anderson, it's worth taking a flier. With a defense that is playing at a league-best level, the running game should have plenty of opportunities to sort itself out and accrue stats, especially with the aforementioned passing game woes. Maybe it's best that you let me be the last guy to fall on this sword, but the potential is still there.
