Anderson (ankle/illness) was a full practice participant Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Patriots.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was limited Wednesday and held out entirely Thursday, with his illness (not his ankle) seemingly responsible for the absence. Although his health isn't a major concern, Anderson's workload has suffered in recent weeks as the Broncos have struggled to stay competitive while also reintegrating Devonta Booker into the offense. Anderson averaged 11.8 carries and 0.5 catches over the past four games, compared to 18.3 carries and 2.5 catches through the first four weeks of the season.

Anderson (ankle/illness) returned to practice Friday, Mike Klis of 9 News Denver reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson did not practice Thursday due to his illness, but it appears he is at least feeling good enough to get on the field Friday. His ankle injury could still land him on the Broncos' final injury report of the week, however. More details about his Week 10 status will be released after Friday's practice comes to a close.

Anderson, who was limited at Wednesday's practice by an ankle issue, did not practice Thursday due to an illness, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.
EDGE Analysis
We'll have to see if Anderson recovers in time to practice Friday, but we'd still expect the running back to be able to suit up Sunday night against the Patriots. Given that he was under the weather Thursday and was previously nursing an ankle issue, it's plausible that the Broncos will list Anderson as questionable on their final Week 10 injury report.

Anderson (ankle) was limited at Wednesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson is coming off a nine-carry, 13-yard dud in Sunday's 51-23 loss in Philadelphia, but as long as his ankle doesn't affect his Week 9 availability, he'll look to rebound this weekend against a New England defense that has allowed an average of 121.5 rushing yards per game to date.

Anderson rushed for 13 yards on nine carries in Sunday's 51-23 loss in Philadelphia.
EDGE Analysis
The commentators aren't kidding when they say that Denver's offense begins and ends with Anderson. In Denver's three wins this season, Anderson has averaged 118 total yards per game. In its five losses, Anderson has averaged just 43.8 total yards. It's hard to see it getting much better for Anderson as the Broncos are seeing a familiar formula used against them. Defenses are stuffing eight and nine men in the box to take away Denver's rushing attack early and force Trevor Siemian or Brock Osweiler to beat them on the outside. That strategy has worked and Denver has fallen behind so often that it forces the team to abandon the run.

Anderson rushed 15 times for 78 yards and caught his lone target for seven yards in Monday night's 29-19 loss to the Chiefs.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson led a rushing attack that averaged 5.7 yards per carry, but it was backup Devontae Booker who scored the team's lone ground touchdown. While game flow simply saw Anderson miss out on that opportunity, which could've provided his first score since Week 2, the veteran will still be pleased by having his best game overall since Week 4. Next up for Anderson, however, is a tough matchup against the Eagles.

Anderson gained 44 yards on 10 carries and caught one pass for 17 yards in Sunday's 21-0 loss to the Chargers.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson managed a respectable 4.4 yards per carry, but his team struggled to keep pace with the hosts and were forced to abandon the running game in the second half. He ceded just six total carries to Jamaal Charles and Devontae Booker, who combined for eight yards, and appears to have the featured role locked up for the time being. Opposing defenses will be able to key in on Anderson as long as the passing game continues to struggle, but his skill set and double-digit touches each week support his fantasy value. He'll look to get more involved next week against the Chiefs.

Anderson rushed for 17 yards on nine carries in Sundays' 23-10 loss to the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
It was an ugly outing overall for Denver as a few nice runs by the Giants and some early turnovers took the team out of its rhythm and forced them to the pass. With the season hanging in the balance after a third consecutive poor offensive performance, expect Denver to lean heavily on Anderson against the Chargers. In two losses this season, Anderson has averaged 9.5 touches per game and 30 total yards. In three wins, he's averaged 24.3 touches per game and 118 total yards. Those figures include 88 total yards in Week 1's win over the Chargers.

Anderson carried 20 times for 95 yards and caught all four of his targets for 17 additional yards during Sunday's 16-10 win over the Raiders.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson bounced back nicely from a difficult outing last week, churning out 4.8 yards per carry as he delivered his second best rushing performance of the season. He also finished tied for the team lead in receptions and out-touched Jamaal Charles 24:6 after a more even split the previous time out. Anderson has been the most consistent performer on offense for the Broncos this season and appears to have maintained his workhorse status, with at least 20 carries under his belt in three of the first four weeks. He will enjoy a bye next week before taking on the Giants at home the following Sunday night.

Anderson rushed for 36 yards on eight carries and added seven yards with two catches in Sunday's 26-16 loss to Buffalo.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson, much like Denver's offense as a whole, had a tough outing on Sunday. A 32-yard run aside, Anderson was averaging less than a yard per carry against a dinged-up Buffalo front. Jamaal Charles ended up with more carries and as many touches as Denver sought answers and after a pair of nice games to start the season, Anderson's standing may be in a bit of question. It's way too early to panic after a tough day against a good defense, but Devonta Booker is scheduled to return to the backfield as soon as next week. It remains to be seen what effect, if any, that might have on Anderson's workload.
