Welp, it finally happened. A Denver Broncos running back finally broke off the big touchdown run we were waiting for...except it wasn't C.J. Anderson. Ronnie Hillman exploded for a 72-yard touchdown on Sunday which I believe is both a blessing and a curse. The Broncos have struggled to find any semblance of a rushing attack all season so the blessing aspect of it is that someone was finally able to do something out of the backfield. The curse, however, is that it obviously wasn't the presumed starter.
Hopefully, you were smart enough to grab both Anderson and Hillman, giving you some flexibility and insurance as far as this ground game is concerned. Not only has Hillman has looked like the better back since August but now the Broncos have come out and said that he has earned himself more touches. With a nice matchup against the Oakland Raiders looming, it's looking like this might be the week Hillman overtakes Anderson entirely.
I highly doubt you'll be able to get anything of value for either guy in a trade at this point so you're almost certainly stuck with whatever it is you have. If you own both players, I would prefer Hillman this week and hope for a changing of the guard. If all you have is Anderson, it's probably best to just bench him until he breaks out assuming you have enough depth. It's a shame that the Broncos continuously burn us at the running back position in fantasy drafts.
