C.J. Anderson – RB, Denver Broncos

The guillotine dropped slowly, but it seems to have finally fallen in Denver. C.J. Anderson had every opportunity to take hold of the starting running back position. He even started this week's game against the Cleveland Browns and had his most productive PPR fantasy day of the year, but he was outgained by Ronnie Hillman and should be second on the depth chart going forward.

While Hillman managed 111 rushing yards, Anderson had just 41 and now has just over half the rushing yards of Hillman on the season. The Denver Broncos' passing game continues to struggle, and for the first time in his career, Peyton Manning needs his running backs to step up. It looks like Hillman has answered the bell.

If you need to make room on your roster, Anderson is a tempting candidate to drop.

Sammy Watkins – WR, Buffalo Bills

Talent is not a problem for Sammy Watkins, but staying on the field has been this year. He has only touched the ball in three of the team's six games so far and he left this week's game after a strong start when he re-aggravated his ankle injury. He traveled with the team to London, as we all would, but it seems like he's only there for the sight-seeing.

Watkins has 147 yards and two touchdowns on just 11 receptions, but even when he returns, he'll be limited by a tough quarterback situation and an offense that puts up points but struggles to gain yards. That being said, if Watkins can get healthy, he's a great buy low candidate with WR1 potential. Don't forget that he had 65 catches for 982 yards and six touchdowns in his rookie season.

Charcandrick West – RB, Kansas City Chiefs

Everyone rushed to grab Charcandrick West last week for the chance to own Jamaal Charles-lite, but it was a rough first week on the throne. West finished the game with just 33 rushing yards and one reception in the Kansas City Chiefs' fifth loss of the season.

To top it off, the Chiefs lost Jeremy Maclin to a concussion, and he is questionable to play this week. The Chiefs were already short on offensive weapons coming into the season and are left with Travis Kelce as their remaining play-maker. Because of this and the less-than-stellar play of quarterback Alex Smith, there will be little running room for whoever is in the Kansas City backfield.

Knile Davis was no better last week, so West's position atop the depth chart is safe, but fantasy points are going to be scarce for the Chiefs going forward.
