5 years agoAnderson showed in 2019 that he was more than a home run threat who could only run fly patterns. He improved his all-around game and proved that he could run underneath routes and make crucial catches in big spots on third down. While this did not translate into additional receptions, yards and touchdowns it was through no fault of his own. The New York Jets quarterback situation was a fiasco during the first half of the season when quarterback Sam Darnold came down with mononucleosis and the Jets had third-stringer Luke Falk throwing to Anderson for three contests. Anderson has now taken his talents to Carolina, and he could not have picked a worse place from a fantasy perspective. Starting signal caller Teddy Bridgewater does not elevate the fantasy values of his receivers, and Anderson will be a distant third on the target totem pole behind running back Christian McCaffrey and 1,000-yard receiver DJ Moore. Anderson could even drop another peg if Curtis Samuel realizes his potential and becomes a more consistent pass catcher. Even though Anderson should be aided by head coach Matt Rhule, who coached Anderson in college, Bridgewater’s lack of downfield passing prowess will limit Anderson’s big plays. Anderson’s numbers in Carolina should not be much different from what they were in New York. In fact, his fantasy worth might be worse.--Craig Rondinone - RotoBaller
