Broncos RB C.J. Anderson doesn't care about your fantasy team: 'Sit me for 17 weeks'

There's an itsy bitsy violin playing somewhere for Anderson owners suffering from buyer's remorse over the rusher (a consensus top-15-or-so pick in most fantasy football leagues this season) and his sluggish start.

But the formerly undrafted player (both in the NFL and the 2014 fantasy draft) is absolutely not bowing the strings himself.

"I don't go to other people's jobs and tell them: 'Hey, you (stink). You're trash,'" Anderson said, referencing the grief he's caught.

"I laugh. I just black it out and laugh," Anderson continued. "I guess that's kind of the ups and downs of being a top-10 pick and who they expect you to be. I just always say: 'Don't bet on sports. You never know what's going to happen.' That's just my personal opinion, but I couldn't care less about fantasy."

In addition to a leaky Broncos offensive line, fantasy football owners have only themselves to blame. And there's way too much season left to call Anderson, hobbled a bit so far with a toe injury, a bust.

"You can sit me for 17 weeks. It would not bother me one bit. I don't care," said Anderson. "I saw something on ESPN: 'Is C.J. Anderson a fantasy bust?' I wish I could call ESPN and say: 'Tell them to drop me. ... Every owner can drop me.'"
