HC Vance Joseph comments on RBBC in Denver
Joseph has said he plans to take a committee approach with his running backs.
“The running back position, you need two or three guys who are going to carry the load,” he said in May. “It’s no longer a one-guy position.”
Anderson is the starter and returned to camp this year in the best shape of his career. And although Booker quickly went down with a wrist injury, he is expected to be back early in the regular season and the team has high hopes for him. Joseph said that while Booker is listed as the No. 2 back on the depth chart, he was pushing to be No. 1 before the injury. That says a lot.

Nerdy Football Analysis: Denver’s rushing attack is lining up to be a nightmare for fantasy owners to decipher. Knowing that the coaching staff feels C.J. Anderson and Devontae Booker (wrist) are that close on the depth chart while reserving a role for Jamaal Charles and possibly rookie De’Angelo Henderson will prevent anyone in Denver’s backfield from being more than a RB3/Flex this season.
