Broncos' C.J. Anderson: Expects a run-heavy offense

Anderson believes that the team's increased use of fullbacks this offseason portend a run-heavy offense in 2016, ESPN reports.

Analysis:

Head coach Gary Kubiak's preference for running an offense predicated on the rushing attack has never been in doubt since his first stint in Mile High. Given the Broncos' question marks in the quarterback room, which features the ho-hum Mark Sanchez and two youngsters who have yet to attempt an NFL pass, leaning on the running game and defense seems to be a sound strategy. The question is not if Denver will run, it's who will run. Arian Foster ranked among the top 6 in the league in attempts three straight years under Kubiak in Houston, and Anderson might see himself filling a similar role. Though Anderson might be thinner in the midsection and thicker in the wallet than in years past, he has yet to put together a complete season. Until he does, both last year's leading rusher Ronnie Hillman and fourth-round pick Devontae Booker pose threats to Anderson's bounty.
