This is not all that complicated. I would place him on whatever base I feel he would have made absent the obstruction. It's kind of hard to say without seeing the play unfold in real time. I would have to take into account the speed of the runner, the position of the ball on the infield, and the nature of the obstruction. In other words was the runner just bumped, did he just have to alter his path to avoid the fielder, or was he knocked violently to the ground would be big factors in determining the award.
