1. C.J. Anderson

In all formats, C.J. Anderson is a must-play. Anderson dominated one of the best defenses in the NFL on Thursday Night Football, and will now face a weakened Colts lineup in Week 2. Anderson proved that he can carry the load for the Broncos this season, and he will be one of the top running back options in the league on Sunday.

Against the Detroit Lions last week, the Colts allowed their two-headed tandem at running back go crazy. Theo Riddick and Ameer Abdullah combined to rush for over 100 yards while scoring a touchdown. In the air, the two caught ten balls for 120 yards, while finding the end zone two more times. Anderson will be expected to play the role of Riddick and Abdullah on Sunday, and will be more than up to the challenge.

Last week, Anderson ran for 92 yards and a touchdown against the Panthers. In addition, he caught four balls for 47 yards, scoring a receiving touchdown as well. Against the Colts, Anderson will once again be the focal point of the offense, and should have over 150 all-purpose yards.

The Broncos are going to win this game, and they may win big. Anderson is going to go off against the Colts, and he should be 100% started across all formats on Sunday. Whether you play daily fantasy or year-long leagues, get Anderson in your lineup before the 4:25pm ET kickoff this week.
