They're probably not going to start a Boruto anime until 2018 at the earliest. In April 2017 they'd only have about 12 chapters to adapt, just barely enough for a single anime season.

They might get to chapter 699 in the anime this year, but they'll probably adapt all of the Hiden novels, and maybe even rehash The Last, before they get to 700 / Gaiden / Boruto.

That'll give the Boruto manga enough time to get a sizeable lead before the adaptation starts burning through canon.
