DaBeerz 88 Posted October 6, 2014 Are you handcuffing Hillman this week, or targeting Anderson? Are you considering dropping Ball outright? His value couldn't be any lower. Pending MRI results today. "Out for a while" means at least a few weeks in my book. I don't even know if Ball is worth a "hold" as a roster spot, given his production. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jckund 1 Posted October 6, 2014 Ball owner here. Drafted him 20th overall so thought I got a pretty decent steal... going to target Hillman on waivers but might not get him. If not then Anderson. I don't think I'm going to drop him unless the expected return date is like week 12 or later. Will wait and see on news. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xxonx 0 Posted October 6, 2014 I'm in a 16 team league so Hillman and Anderson are with another team, so I can't do anything but hope for the best. I won't drop him though, except he's out for the season or something.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think I'll get Hillman, unless the other owners are all asleep at the wheel, if I win this week I'll be one of the dead last WW pickups in the order.

Frozenbeernuts 1,652 Posted October 6, 2014 Looks like antone smith is about to become a full time starter in 2 of my leagues! Im not sure what to do. I guess i will add hillman since he is next up. As long as he doesnt fumble he is serviceable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SaintsInDome2006 128 Posted October 6, 2014 Not dropping Ball, getting Anderson for near free I hope, putting in small bid on Hillman. Edited because maybe Ball's injury is more short term now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thesitedoc 5 Posted October 6, 2014 I wasn't playing Montee Ball until after week 7 this season having been fortunate enough to get Forte and LeVeon Bell in the draft. His schedule the first 7 weeks was not favorable. The Oline it seems has failed to create many holes but at the same time I see the backups performing better with fewer opportunities. At this point it is wait and see. How badly is he hurt and when he comes back what do they intend to do. RBBC? Who knows. The schedule for the second half of the season is much more favorable then the first half, but will they give him chances to run.Before I run to add a Hillman or Anderson I will look to see their (Den) intentions when he returns. My league only permits 7 waiver moves for the season so I am in a different situation then most who can add and drop players at will. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sho Nuff 719 Posted October 6, 2014 He has sucked so bad...can't drop him (not sure why i can't yet). Riding Forsett, FJax, and Ivory as long as I can. May make a play for another Denver RB. Just getting a feel for it. PPR league so Hillman is probably more involved there. Anderson though seems to be more of a 1st and 2nd down back. or Denver may just go more pass happy. Both may have a role. Hillman will either already be rostered in some leagues or get picked up quick. Anderson will be easier to acquire as he was inactive last week.

Giants Fan 85 Posted October 6, 2014 Drafted him, CJ Anderson and Hillman. Course I waived Hillman 2 weeks ago. My opponent this comming week has j. charles on a bye, so it's gonna be a bidding war for Hillman. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SeeYouBuffs 1 Posted October 6, 2014 Hey guys, Bronco fan here, I know it's early be keep an eye out for Juwan Thompson, the coaches really like this kid, he brings everything they want, he's physical, can block and can pick up the blitz. A lot of us honestly feel he'll be the guy towards the end of the season. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RaiderHaters Revenge 3,592 Posted October 6, 2014 In my 10 teamer, I will probably cut him for Oliver this week not bothering with Hillman or Anderson, can start Ellington, Jennings, Knowshown, hell even Mcfadden over either Denver schlub Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nobody 2,044 Posted October 6, 2014 CJ Anderson/Hillman might turn into Asiata/McKinnon 2. Are we sure the board can handle it? CJ was serving as the change of pace back before? Or was he just spelling Ball to give him a breather? Basically, was CJ the backup or the 3rd down specialist? I'm leaning toward 3rd down specialist, so it might be that Hillman does the early down work and CJ gets 3rd down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AintNoStoppinMeNow 68 Posted October 6, 2014 I have zero shot at getting Hillman as I'm sure he'll be the main add in most leagues off waivers. With that said I'm more interested in hearing who's the better FA add between CJ Anderson and Juwan Thompson? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anderson got some (11) carries from Ball, Thompson only a few (3) last night, so I'd go with Anderson. But honestly I think there are better FA RBs out there than these two, except you're in a very deep league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DaBeerz 88 Posted October 6, 2014 Yes, of course, but if you'd like to get one of these guys of the waiver wire you'll have to make a decision soon. That's exactly it, you have to speculate on who will get the touches, before they start getting the touches. Hillman looked good with his opportunity, I think Den might give him the rock for a game and see what he can do. Of course, Manning being Manning is going to want perfect execution of the pass-blocking, so he better have that down if he wants to play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rsmnutt 8 Posted October 6, 2014 Broncos UDFA Juwan Thompson rushed three times for 15 yards and a touchdown in Denver's Week 5 win over the Cardinals. The rookie from Duke became Denver's No. 2 tailback after Montee Ball exited with a groin injury, playing behind Ronnie Hillman. Thompson's fourth-quarter eight-yard touchdown run put the Broncos up 41-20. C.J. Anderson is the Broncos' best inside runner beyond Ball, and would surely be active if Ball missed Week 6 against the Jets. It's possible Thompson would either be used as part of a three-way committee, or weeded out in favor of Anderson. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
