C.J. Anderson 2019 Outlook
The Lions signed Anderson to a one-year deal this offseason to replace LeGarrette Blount as the backup to Kerryon Johnson. Blount wound up starting half the games in 2018 but averaged a meager 2.7 yards per carry and looked every bit like a 32-year-old back with high mileage. The good news? Anderson is younger, cheaper and fresher than Blount. Remember, Anderson ran 89 times for a whopping 5.5 yards per carry after the Rams literally signed him off his couch to provide relief to Todd Gurley late last year. While he benefited from a great O-line in Los Angeles, Anderson also ran for more than 1,000 yards and 4.1 yards per carry for the Broncos in 2017 behind a line coached by Jeff Davidson, who now happens to oversee Detroit's ground game. Bottom line? On 760 career carries, Anderson is averaging 4.5 yards a run. As MLive.com's Kyle Meinke put it, "He might not look the part all the time, but Anderson has played it wherever he has been." And if Anderson isn't effective, Zach Zenner, who averaged 4.8 yards per carry last year, will still be around. What's more likely, though, is that Anderson is more capable at 28 years old and 760 career carries than Blount was at 31 with 1,341.

C.J. Anderson 2018 Outlook
As Profootballtalk.com pointed out, the Panthers had a vacancy for a traditional running back after letting Jonathan Stewart go. They were not able to land one in the draft, so instead they found a former 1,000-yard rusher. ... Anderson was released by the Broncos, despite rushing for 1,007 yards last season. Undrafted in 2013, Anderson first emerged as a factor over the final eight games of the 2014 season, when he combined for 1,057 yards and 10 touchdowns to earn a Pro Bowl appearance. In 2015 (including the postseason), he had 1,176 combined yards and seven rushing touchdowns. He was on pace for nearly a 1,300-yard rushing/receiving season in 2016 when he was halted by a Game 7 knee injury. He averaged 4.1 yards per carry last season and added another 224 yards on 28 catches. As 9News.com's Mike Klis noted prior to his release, "Anderson just turned 27 so he figures to have plenty of good football left in his powerful, tackle-breaking legs. ..." A number of teams were interested, but the Panthers might have had the greatest need and Anderson will provide a solid complement to Christian McCaffrey, who has varied skills but may not ever be an every-down NFL back.

C.J. Anderson 2017 Outlook
As the Sports Xchange reminded readers, Anderson looked to be getting on track before he suffered a torn meniscus in Week 7 against Houston. He has been doing his injury rehab at the team's suburban Denver complex throughout the offseason and was fully cleared for the start of OTAs. Anderson has consistently said he would return from last October's knee surgery "better than ever" and he should be a part of the solution this year after Devontae Booker showed flashes as a rookie but was inconsistent and ultimately worked behind December waiver claim Justin Forsett. At the very least, Anderson projects as the starter ahead of Booker and newcomer Jamaal Charles. But new HC Vance Joseph has declared the competition open. ... Booker's shortcomings should ease Anderson's path back to the featured role (assuming the knee isn't a problem) and, as CBSSports.com notes, with the addition of OL Ronald Leary and Menelik Watson, as well as the return of OC Mike McCoy, a fully healthy Anderson could enjoy more room to run this season as long as he's the same guy we saw before last year's injury. That's something to watch as the regular season draws near.
