The Facts: Asked by a reader how the addition of rookie RB Devontae Booker might change Anderson's and Ronnie Hillman's playing time, Post staffer Troy Renck replied: The plan remains for Anderson to receive the bulk of the carries with Hillman providing a change of pace.
Diehards Line:
Renck went on to concede, however, that Booker provides intriguing talent and depth. He ranked as a second rounder on some draft boards. But he underwent knee surgery to repair his meniscus in November, leaving him easing into the mix. But just like last season, HC Gary Kubiak will play the most effective back. If Booker picks up pass protection — always a huge challenge for rookies — he will give himself a chance to play on third down. It bears watching in training camp. Booker showed good hands out of the backfield at Utah. That weapon was sorely missing from Denver's offense last season. But for now, fantasy owners should expect Anderson to be the lead back heading into camp.
