C.J. Anderson 2018 Outlook: What's His Role In Carolina?
6 years agoWith Jonathan Stewart's departure, most thought that the Panthers would be turning over lead back duties to Christian McCaffrey, but the addition of C.J. Anderson complicates things. Anderson is coming off his first 1000 yard season and found the end zone three times last year for the Broncos, but the team chose to let him go and get younger at the position. Anderson could see a lot of the early down work for the Panthers this year as McCaffrey is used as the pass catching and change-of-pace back.
