Summary
It took C.J. Anderson five seasons to surpass 180 carries and reach the 1,000 yard milestone in a season. His reward - he was released by the Broncos while the team looks to get younger in that area while saving money at the same time. One team's discard is another team's treasure, as so it seems with the Carolina Panthers who quickly signed him to a one-year deal in early May shortly after the NFL Draft concluded. Anderson is expected to fill the void left by Jonathan Stewart and earn upwards of 150-200 carries. Anderson is a much more athletic Mike Tolbert, who is capable of moving the pile, gaining yards after contact and making plays as a receiver. In addition to Christian McCaffrey, Anderson will be the team's primary ball carrier especially on short-yardage and goal line situations. Anderson has never had less than 4.0 yards per carry in his five seasons in the league and his career average is 4.4. Last year, the Panthers stable of running backs averaged 3.6 yards per carry. He's happy to be on a team that wants him, and the Panthers should be pleased with what he brings to the table. He's an adequate RB3 or RB4 who can provide decent production on a weekly basis with standout games any given week. (May 18)FBG Staff Rankings

Panthers | C.J. Anderson logs 48 yards (Fri Aug 17, 11:52 PM) - Carolina Panthers RB C.J. Anderson rushed eight times for 39 yards and caught two passes for nine yards in a 27-20 win over the Miami Dolphins Friday, Aug. 17. Our View: That sounds about right. Anderson just keeps chugging along with his new team. They are going to feature starter Christian McCaffrey as much as they possibly can in 2018, but Anderson makes for a nice handcuff and would have at least RB2 value if thrust into the starting lineup.link to story Panthers | C.J. Anderson scores Thursday (Thu Aug 9, 10:27 PM) - Carolina Panthers RB C.J. Anderson rushed four times for 16 yards and a touchdown in a 28-23 win over the Buffalo Bills in the preseason Thursday, Aug. 9. Our View: Anderson was expected to fill a role similar to the one Jonathan Stewart had last year, and he's more capable than Stewart, but the team leaned on Christian McCaffrey when the first team offense was on the field. He's still a useful back, but Anderson's value without a McCaffrey injury might be lower than we originally thought.
