Running Back Outlooks: C.J. Anderson, Latavius Murray, Justin Forsett, Marshawn Lynch

C.J. Anderson - RB, Denver Broncos

C.J. Anderson did not touch the ball until the second half. When he did touch the ball, he managed just nine yards on two carries. This plot has finally reached its conclusion, as one of the top picks of this year's draft looks to be totally washed up. He should be dropped in all but the deepest of formats.

Ronnie Hillman is nothing special either. Though he did score a touchdown, he managed just 42 yards on 11 carries. The Broncos offense seems to be in shambles yet again. Perhaps a change at the QB position will prove helpful for the RB position when Brock Osweiler leads the team into Chicago this week.

Latavius Murray - RB, Oakland Raiders

Latavius Murray was stymied by the surprisingly solid Minnesota defense on Sunday. The consistent back accrued just 48 yards on 12 carries, adding a meager 29 yards on five catches.

Much of this can be attributed to a rising Vikings run defense, which has been trending upwards each week. Fullback Jamize Olawale was utilized yet again, gaining 59 yards on eight touches. Murray will have a much better chance for success in Detroit against a bottom-five run defense in Week 11.

Justin Forsett - RB, Baltimore Ravens

Justin Forsett was less than spectacular against a subpar Jaguars defense (after a bye week) in Week 10. The Ravens stink and might finish the year with a top draft pick if things keep up. As a result, the rushing attack has been under-utilized and unsuccessful.

After enjoying a top-10 fantasy RB season in 2014, Forsett is a shadow of his previous form in 2015. His main asset is his health, which has kept him in the top-20 fantasy backs on the year. After failing against two mediocre units, Forsett will have his work cut out for him against a stout Rams squad in Week 11. As a side note, the Ravens signed Terrence West off the practice squad.

Marshawn Lynch - RB, Seattle Seahawks

Marshawn Lynch was not very beastly on Sunday night when the Seahawks hosted the Cardinals, going just 42 yards on eight carries, though he did score a TD in the contest. The team did not have much of a chance to run the ball as they were playing catch-up most of the night. Lynch (abdomen) was listed as questionable before the game and did not practice on Wednesday of this week.

Though he has been banged-up lately, Lynch's performance has certainly been underwhelming for a top draft pick. The only impressive performance of 2015 came against a lackluster 49ers squad in Week 6. The Niners are coming to town to face the Seahawks in Seattle for Week 11. Look for Lynch to bounce back big time in the rivalry game.
