Sees downturn in production
Anderson brought in one of four targets for 15 yards in the Panthers' 33-10 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
Analysis: A week after recording five receptions in the first start of Cam Newton's second tenure with the Panthers, Anderson saw a disappointing downturn. It's been an undeniably underwhelming year for the speedster overall, and unless Newton significantly picks up his play, Anderson will continue to have an uphill battle to a serviceable fantasy line during a Week 14 home matchup against the Falcons following a Week 13 bye.

Catches five passes
Anderson caught five of six targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 27-21 loss to Washington.
Analysis: Anderson trailed only tailback Christian McCaffrey in receptions, tying fellow wideout DJ Moore with his handful of grabs. Although his long gain was only 11 yards, it was good to see Anderson's involvement increase in quarterback Cam Newton's first start. The wideout matched his season high in catches Sunday, bringing his tally to nine over the past two weeks, an encouraging sign after he managed just one in the two weeks prior. Next up for Anderson is a matchup against a familiar foe, the…read more

Shows improvement Sunday
Anderson caught four of six targets for 37 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Cardinals.
Analysis: Anderson enjoyed his best game in a while despite Carolina being without former starting quarterback Sam Darnold (shoulder). The wideout hauled in a two-yard touchdown from recent signee Cam Newton during the first quarter, marking Anderson's first score since Week 6. With a few other grabs as well, Anderson topped 35 yards for just the fourth time this season. While still not overly productive, Anderson's performance Sunday at least carries him toward Week 11's matchup versus Washington with…read more

Hardly a factor
Anderson caught one of three targets for two yards in Sunday's 24-6 loss to the Patriots.
Analysis: Anderson was once again a virtual non-factor after putting up a goose egg last Sunday. Although no wideout other than DJ Moore caught more than one pass amid quarterback Sam Darnold's continued struggles, Anderson has now gone four straight games without topping 15 receiving yards. Such little recent production makes it hard to expect much from Anderson in Week 10 versus the Cardinals.

Goose egg versus Falcons
Anderson didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 19-13 win over the Falcons.
Analysis: Anderson was rocked on his lone target, leaving him down on the field afterward. Although the wideout returned to Sunday's contest, he wasn't involved in the passing game beyond that play. His goose egg added to what's been a very disappointing campaign, as Anderson has topped 50 yards just once through eight outings. With merely 25 yards over his last three appearances, he's not an attractive option ahead of a Week 9 matchup versus the Patriots.

Terrible efficiency continues
Anderson recorded three receptions on nine targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 25-3 loss to the Giants.
Analysis: Anderson finished second on the team in targets behind only DJ Moore, but he continued to struggle to produce with efficiency. He managed only 1.6 yards per target, and his longest reception went for five yards. Anderson has seen a minimum of seven targets in each of the last four weeks, yet he has failed to record more than 46 yards in any game.

TD saves quiet day
Anderson had three receptions (11 targets) for 11 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-28 overtime loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: Sam Darnold struggled tremendously in this one, completing just 41 percent of his pass attempts, which helps explain the abysmal catch rate Anderson turned in. The touchdown helped salvage what would have been a horrible fantasy performance from the 28-year-old wideout. It has been a disappointing campaign for Anderson, who has struggled to find any sort of success since Darnold took over. A favorable matchup against the Giants is on tap next Sunday, but Anderson's early-season struggles makes…read more

Struggles yet again
Anderson caught two of seven targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Eagles.
Analysis: Anderson had a 25-yard gain on Carolina's last offensive drive, but he then saw quarterback Sam Darnold intercepted while targeting him on the next play. Overall, it proved too little, too late for Anderson, who has disappointed to start this season. Through five games, he's averaging just over 35 yards per contest and boasts merely 12 catches and one touchdown. Although it'd be surprising if Anderson -- who led the Panthers with 95 receptions for 1,096 yards last season -- didn't break through…read more

Earns 11 targets
Anderson recorded five receptions on 11 targets for 46 yards in Sunday's Week 4 loss to the Cowboys.
Analysis: Anderson had commanded only 11 targets combined between the team's first three games, and he matched that with his performance Sunday. Despite the volume, Anderson wasn't able to translate that into much production as he managed only 4.2 yards per target. Sam Darnold has shown strong rapport with DJ Moore early on, to the detriment of Anderson. Through four games this season, Anderson has surpassed 50 receiving yards only once.

Could see more targets
Coach Matt Rhule said the Panthers need to find a way to get Anderson the ball, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Coming off a career year with 136 targets, Anderson has seen just 11 looks through three games, with nearly all of his production coming on a 57-yard TD in Week 1. His snap shares have trended downward with each passing week -- from 81 percent to 74 to 64 -- but that's largely due to game script with the Panthers sitting on big leads the past two games. Fellow wideout D.J. Moore is up to 22-285-1 on 31 targets, far ahead of both Anderson and No. 3 receiver Terrace Marshall (14 targets), though…read more

Another quiet outing
Anderson caught one of two targets for just eight yards in Thursday night's 24-9 win over the Texans.
Analysis: Anderson has gotten off to a relatively slow start this season, managing just five catches through Carolina's first three contests. His first target Thursday resulted in a drop and Anderson was only looked at once afterward. Conversely, teammate DJ Moore fueled the Panthers offense without Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) available for most the game, finishing with over 125 receiving yards. With a long preparation period before Week 4's trip to Dallas, Anderson -- who had 95 catches for over…read more

Quiet in Week 2 win
Anderson caught three of six targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 26-7 win over the Saints.
Analysis: So far, the reunion between Anderson and Sam Darnold hasn't resulted in much production for the wideout aside from a 57-yard TD in Week 1 -- the only target he saw in that game. Instead, DJ Moore has quickly emerged as Darnold's preferred option among his new group of wide receivers. Anderson at least saw solid target volume in this one, and he'll look to build on that performance Thursday on the road against a Texans secondary that gave up big numbers to both DJ Chark and Marvin Jones in…read more

Makes lone catch count
Anderson caught one of three targets for a 57-yard touchdown in Sunday's 19-14 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Anderson's only catch was a huge one, as he got behind the defense for a 57-yard touchdown in the second quarter. The speedster fleshed out his skill tree en route to career highs in catches (95) and receiving yards (1,096) last season, but his bread and butter is still the deep ball. He took advantage of the Jets' inexperienced secondary in the opener and will look to do the same in Week 2 against the injury-riddled Saints unit.

Tallies touchdown catch
Anderson recorded two receptions on five targets for 15 yards and a touchdown in Friday's preseason contest against the Steelers.
Analysis: Anderson played with the first-team offense throughout the initial two quarters. He didn't do much until the end of the half, when he hauled in an eight-yard touchdown with 28 seconds remaining. It is worth noting that most of his receptions and targets came near the line of scrimmage, highlighting potential usage that will be worth monitoring into the regular season. Anderson will now turn his focus to a Week 1 matchup against the Jets.

To start Friday
Anderson is expected to start Friday's preseason contest against the Steelers, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: It's unclear if Anderson will get as much playing time as starting quarterback Sam Darnold, but the pair was out there almost the exact amount of snaps (six versus seven, respectively, on offense) in preseason Week 2, so they may get up to two quarters of action. Anderson is fresh off signing a two-year, $29.5 million extension earlier this week, so the Panthers may not want to risk it too much considering the recent investment.

Signs two-year extension
Anderson is signing a two-year, $29.5 million extension with the Panthers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Anderson signed a two-year, $20 contract last spring and responded with his first 1,000-yard season. The Panthers still have plenty of weaknesses, but wide receiver should be an annual strength with Anderson, DJ Moore and Terrace Marshall all under team control through 2023. It remains to be seen if QB Sam Darnold and OC Joe Brady are able to keep all three receivers well fed in an offense that also has volume hog Christian McCaffrey and a potential TE upgrade in Dan Arnold.

Catches pass in return
Anderson (hamstring) caught a 16-yard reception on one target in Saturday's preseason game against Baltimore.
Analysis: Anderson's catch was the only completion for starting quarterback Sam Darnold, who Anderson previously worked well with while playing for the Jets. If Anderson's hamstring issue stays behind him, then he should be in position to maintain the momentum he generated in last year's 95-catch breakout season.

Suited up Saturday
Anderson (hamstring) is dressed for Saturday's preseason game against Baltimore, Charlotte Observer writer Alaina Getzenberg reports.
Analysis: Anderson had missed practice time with the hamstring and wasn't initially expected to play in Saturday's game, so it might be taken for a good sign that Anderson was allowed to dress for the game Saturday. He's still not guaranteed to play live snaps against Baltimore. If healthy Anderson will likely lock into the starting role opposite D.J. Moore, a role that could entail a big workload after catching 95 passes in 2020.

Unlikely to play Saturday
Alaina Getzenberg of The Charlotte Observer doesn't expect Anderson (hamstring) to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Ravens.
Analysis: The wideout was spotted doing some work during warmups, but the report suggests that Anderson is likely to be held out Saturday after missing both joint practices with Baltimore this past week. Fellow wideout DJ Moore (back) also seems unlikely to play in the contest, per Getzenberg.

Dealing with sore hammy
Anderson was sidelined during Wednesday's practice with a hamstring injury, Alaina Getzenberg of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Analysis: The wideout observed the session in street clothes after suffering the injury late last week. The Panthers held key starters out of their preseason opener, and while many of those players are expected to suit up Saturday against Baltimore, it's possible Anderson won't be one of them. However, head coach Matt Rhule didn't sound worried about Anderson being in line for a long-term absence.

Anderson isn't practicing Wednesday and appears to be dealing with a minor injury, Bill Voth of the Panthers' official site reports.
Analysis: The wideout reportedly tweaked something in a joint practice with the Colts last Friday. He then missed Sunday's preseason game against the Colts, though he presumably wouldn't have played even if he had been healthy, given that Sam Darnold, DJ Moore and other key starters were held out. In any case, Anderson could also miss Carolina's second preseason game this Sunday against Baltimore, but that wouldn't create much concern about his availability for the regular season.

Unlikely to suit up Sunday
Anderson likely will be a DNP for Sunday's preseason game at Indianapolis, Alaina Getzenberg of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Analysis: Coach Matt Rhule plans to sit most of the starters but specifically said only Sam Darnold by name. However, Rhule's list likely includes Anderson, DJ Moore and Christian McCaffrey as well. Anderson has been on the receiving end of passes from Darnold in the past when they were teammates on the Jets. The wide receiver fared modestly, putting up very similar stat lines in both 2018 (50-752-6 on 94 targets) and 2019 (52-779-5 on 96 targets).

Positive on Darnold reunion
Anderson has spoken positively of quarterback Sam Darnold's transition to the Panthers, ESPN's David Newton reports.
Analysis: Anderson is reunited with Darnold this season after the pair played together on the Jets in the 2018 and 2019 campaigns. Those were Darnold's first two years in the NFL and coincided with Anderson leading New York in receiving over that span. The wideout has taken note of Darnold's fresh demeanor away from the bright, big-city spotlight this offseason, and believes the signal-caller will have an easier time learning Carolina's playbook. If all goes well, a more comfortable Darnold could help he…read more

Caps strong season with quiet game
Anderson caught three of seven targets for 40 yards during Sunday's 33-7 loss to the Saints.
Analysis: Anderson made a splash with his 31-yard long gain but managed just nine yards between his other two grabs. He was lost in the shuffle a bit in this one as DJ Moore and Curtis Samuel had big games, but he finishes the season with new career highs of 95 receptions and 1,096 yards to go along with three touchdowns. Anderson should maintain a large role next season -- especially if Samuel leaves in free agency -- and will look to improve upon his first campaign with the Panthers.

According to Bill Voth of the Panthers' official site, Anderson ditched the jersey for the portion of Thursday's session that was open to the media, and his listing as a full participant on the official report implies he did in fact take contact in some capacity.

Anderson recorded seven receptions on 10 targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in Week 16 against Washington.
Analysis: Despite plenty of opportunity, Anderson turned in an inefficient performance by averaging only 3.9 yards per target. He did manage to tally his third touchdown of the season on a 14-yard reception late in the second quarter, which was also his longest reception of the day.

Limited to two catches in loss
Anderson brought in two of five targets for 21 yards in the Panthers' 24-16 loss to the Packers on Saturday night. He also netted minus-1 yard on his sole rush.
Analysis: Anderson unexpectedly slumped to a season-low reception total while also tying his low-water mark in receiving yardage and targets in the eight-point loss. The speedster was consistently contained by the Packers' coverage-savvy secondary, which resulted in a particularly untimely dud for fantasy managers who've been benefiting from his strong production the majority of the season.

Anderson reeled in eight of 12 targets for 84 yards, adding two rushes for 13 yards during Sunday's 32-27 loss to the Broncos.
Analysis: Anderson and Curtis Samuel (nine targets) served as the clear go-to options for Teddy Bridgewater, as DJ Moore (ankle) remained on the reserve/COVID-19 list for Sunday's tilt. Regardless of Moore's presence in the lineup, Anderson has been consistently posting viable fantasy numbers in 2020, surpassing his previous career high in receiving yards (941) by virtue of his Week 14 performance.

Anderson may see even more work than usual in Sunday's game against the Broncos, as teammate DJ Moore remains on the reserve/COVID-19 list, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: With Moore and Christian McCaffrey (thigh/shoulder) both expected to sit out, the Panthers are left with Anderson, Curtis Samuel and RB Mike Davis as their top receiving threats. Anderson has already been a steady part of the offense all season, but he reached double-digit targets in just one of his last seven games before a Week 13 bye, averaging 5.6 catches for 60.4 yards in that stretch.

Analysis: Anderson displayed his impressive wheels on his 41-yard score in the second quarter, turning a crossing pattern into his second touchdown of the campaign. The 27-year-old paced the Panthers in receiving yardage on the afternoon, with his tally qualifying as his highest since a 112-yard effort versus the Falcons back in Week 5.

While he still lagged considerably behind fellow wideouts DJ Moore and Curtis Samuel in yardage, Anderson did compile his third-highest reception total of the campaign.

Analysis: Anderson was in the familiar position of serving as one of the Panthers' leaders in targets, checking in second only to DJ Moore in that category for the afternoon. However, unlike most every other game this season, Anderson couldn't shake free for any appreciable gains, leading to his lowest yardage tally of the campaign.

Anderson brought in five of eight targets for 48 yards in the Panthers' 25-17 loss to the Falcons on Thursday night.
Analysis: The speedy Anderson continued to serve as Teddy Bridgewater's favorite target, as the eight looks he logged were a team high. However, outside of a 27-yard grab, the Falcons secondary did a good job keeping Anderson in front of them, surrendering just 21 yards to him on his other four catches. The overall yardage tally was the lowest for Anderson on the season, so he'll look to bounce back in what should be a high-scoring Week 9 affair versus the Chiefs on the road Sunday, Nov. 8.

His chemistry with fellow new arrival Teddy Bridgewater has been excellent from the start, and Anderson has now posted at least Sunday's reception and receiving yardage tallies in five of seven games.

Still, he came away with a respectable stat line in a difficult matchup and is averaging 92.7 yards per game in three contests with his new team. Anderson will look to add to his impressive numbers next Sunday against the Cardinals.

Second straight 100-yard effort
Anderson secured nine of 10 targets for 109 yards in the Panthers' 31-17 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.
Analysis: Anderson was able to clear the century mark in receiving yardage for the second time in as many games in a Panthers uniform, once again displaying excellent chemistry with quarterback Teddy Bridgewater while pacing all pass catchers in receptions. The speedster did fumble early in the third quarter after a seven-yard catch, but Carolina got the ball right back on a Donte Jackson interception a play later. Anderson now has an elite 83.3 percent catch rate on his first 18 targets of the campaign,…read more

Breaks off long touchdown
Anderson tallied six catches on eight targets for 115 yards and one touchdown in Week 1 against the Raiders.
Analysis: Anderson racked up just one target fewer than D.J. Moore, surprising volume for the deep threat. However, the majority of his production came on a 75-yard deep touchdown reception halfway through the fourth quarter. Anderson showed immediate chemistry with quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, which should bode well for him remaining involved in the offense. He and the Panthers will draw a stiff test in Week 2 as they take on the Buccaneers.

Impressing early in camp
Anderson's speed has helped him consistently get separation while running routes in training camp, Jonathan M. Alexander of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Analysis: Anderson's addition to Carolina's offense bolstered a receiving corps that included D.J. Moore and Curtis Samuel, not to mention tailback Christian McCaffrey. In his first couple practices, Anderson has reportedly been open often due to his agility, a premium component new coordinator Joe Brady and quarterback Teddy Bridgewater will hope to capitalize on. In fact, with a few nice touchdowns in his early camp outings, Anderson already seems to have developed a decent rapport with Bridgewater.

Signs on with Carolina
Anderson is signing a two-year, $20 million contract with the Panthers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Anderson likely is disappointed with the financial terms, perhaps suffering from a lack of interest due to the 2020 NFL Draft being loaded at his position. From an on-field standpoint he'll have plenty of competition for targets, joining D.J. Moore and Curtis Samuel to give Teddy Bridgewater one of the fastest WR groups in the NFL. The agreement reunites Anderson with Panthers head coach Matt Rhule, who held the same position at Temple when the wideout was there in 2013-15. It remains to be…read more

Listening to Jets
The Jets have reached out to Anderson, an upcoming unrestricted free agent, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Anderson has been a stalwart in the Jets' passing attack since arriving as an undrafted free agent in 2016, averaging 6.2 targets per game and 8.0 YPT over the past four seasons. Since the conclusion of the most recent campaign, he's expressed interest in remaining with the only organization he's known but won't do so at a hometown discount, per Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News. Anderson will have plenty of suitors for his services once the 48-hour window opens to contact UFAs in advance…read more

Open to staying with the Jets
Anderson said he hopes to re-sign with the Jets, Bob Glauber of Newsday reports.
Analysis: Anderson previously said he wouldn't take a hometown discount, but that doesn't necessarily mean he won't re-sign if the price is right. It's also quite possible that he uses an offer from the Jets as leverage for a contract from another team in free agency. The speedy wide receiver can hit the open market in March, two months before his 27th birthday.

Not interested in hometown discount
Anderson, a pending free agent, said he won't give the Jets a hometown discount, Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports. "You got to talk to my agent," Anderson said. "I don't think that makes sense."
Analysis: The real question is whether he'll even listen to the team's offers. Anderson has played 62 of a possible 64 games since latching on with the Jets as an undrafted rookie in 2016, typically working as the first or second option in the passing game. His usage in terms of targets has been less consistent, and there were even rumors in October about the Jets trying to trade him. One of the thinnest players in the league, Anderson has never done much damage over the middle or after the catch, but he…read more

Third straight 700-yard season
Anderson (calf) caught three of seven targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 13-6 win over Buffalo.
Analysis: Anderson didn't make much of an impact in what may have been his final game with the Jets, as the 26-year-old speedster will be a free agent this offseason. Four of Anderson's five touchdowns and two of his three 100-yard games came in the final seven weeks, and he finishes with 52 catches for 779 yards and five touchdowns overall. With at least 50 catches, 752 yards and five touchdowns in each of the last three seasons, Anderson has established himself as an impactful player, but his skill set…read more

Suits up Sunday
Anderson (calf) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Bills.
Analysis: The wideout, who's recorded four touchdowns over his last six outings, is out there if you need him Sunday and figures to remain a key target for QB Sam Darnold in the Jets' season finale, in the absence of any in-game setbacks. Through 15 games, Anderson has logged 49 catches (on 89 targets) for 761 yards (six less that team leader Jamison Crowder) and five TDs.

Listed as questionable for Week 17
Anderson (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills after practicing in a limited fashion this week, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Per Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site, Anderson dealt with some leg tightness Thursday, but his limitations at that time were portrayed as precautionary. With that in mind, we'd expect the wideout -- who's recorded four touchdowns over his last six outings -- to suit up this weekend, but his status will still be worth confirming prior to Sunday's 1:00 ET kickoff.

Dealing with leg tightness
Anderson (calf) will be limited at practice Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Per Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site, Anderson is dealing with some "leg tightness," with the wideout's practice limitations Thursday being described as precautionary. We'll revisit Anderson's status Friday to see if he approaches Sunday's season finale against the Bills listed as questionable or minus an injury designation.

Dealing with calf issue
The Jets listed Anderson as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report due to a calf issue, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
Analysis: Once the Jets take the field for Thursday's practice, Anderson's status for Sunday's season finale against the Bills should come into more focus. The wideout has recorded four touchdowns over his last six outings, and he may have been listed as limited simply for maintenance purposes.

Four TDs in last six games
Anderson (illness) caught two of four targets for 32 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 16-10 win over the Steelers.
Analysis: Anderson needed every inch of his 6-foot-3 frame to snag a high throw in the end zone between two defenders for a 23-yard touchdown in the first quarter. The speedy wideout didn't do much after that, but he now has four touchdowns in his last six games ahead of a Week 17 trip to Buffalo.

Active in Week 16
Anderson (illness) is active for Sunday's game against the Steelers.
Analysis: Anderson missed a practice and was limited in another this week after falling ill, but his condition apparently improved enough over the weekend for the Jets to sign off on him playing. Assuming Anderson isn't limited by the ailment as the game unfolds, he should play more than 80 percent of the Jets' offensive snaps, as has been the case in all but one of his appearances this season.

Returns to practice, listed as questionable
Anderson (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers after returning to a limited practice Friday.
Analysis: We'd expect Anderson -- who has hauled in 22 of his 32 targets for 370 yards and two TDs over his last four outings -- to be able to play, and fortunately for those considering him in Week 16 lineups, the Jets kick off at 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday. Perhaps a greater concern is the rugged matchup Pittsburgh's defense poses for Anderson.

Anderson (illness) will practice on a limited basis Friday, Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.
Analysis: Anderson sat out Thursday's session due to his illness, but it appears that will be the extent of his absence. It remains to be seen if Anderson will show up on the Jets' final injury report of the week, but with him back at practice Friday, he's presumably on track to take the field Sunday against the Steelers.

Misses practice
Anderson didn't practice Thursday due to an illness, Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.
Analysis: The wideout, who was sent home Thursday, will thus look to return to work Friday for the Jets' final practice in advance of Sunday's game against the Steelers. Anderson is coming off a Week 15 effort that saw him haul in four of his six targets for 66 yards and a two-point conversion in the Jets' 42-21 loss to the Ravens.

Another solid late-season effort
Anderson secured four of six targets for 66 yards and caught a two-point conversion pass in the Jets' 42-21 loss to the Ravens on Thursday.
Analysis: Anderson was second only to Jamison Crowder in receptions and receiving yardage for the Jets on the night. Even though he failed to notch a touchdown grab for only the second time in the last five games, Anderson did find the end zone on a two-point conversion catch following a fourth-quarter Crowder scoring reception. Anderson will look to boost his numbers back up across the board in a Week 16 battle against the Steelers a week from Sunday.

Building momentum
Anderson caught seven of 11 targets for 116 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 22-21 win over the Dolphins.
Analysis: Anderson's 26-yard touchdown in the first quarter was his third in the past four games, and he's now topped 100 yards in consecutive games after doing so only once in the first 11. Just as he did last year, Anderson appears to be closing out the season on a high note. He'll face stiffer competition Week 15, with the Jets visiting Baltimore on Thursday.

Leading receiver in loss
Anderson caught seven of 10 targets for 101 yards in Sunday's 22-6 loss to the Bengals.
Analysis: Anderson led the team in targets, catches and yards, but he could have had an even better performance if he hadn't dropped a ball in the end zone. The speedster has put together his best two-game stretch of the season with 197 receiving yards over the past two weeks. He'll look to stay productive against the Dolphins in Week 14.

Big-play ability returns
Anderson caught four of five targets for 86 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-3 win over the Raiders.
Analysis: Anderson got his mojo back, recording two catches of 30-plus yards and following up the second one with a one-yard touchdown to make it 27-3 in the third quarter. He has a two-game touchdown streak going after finding the end zone only once through the season's first nine games, and Anderson was able to top 80 yards for the third time in this one.

Blanked outside short TD
Anderson caught one of three targets for a six-yard touchdown in Sunday's 34-17 win over the Redskins.
Analysis: Those who went with Anderson in this favorable matchup were bailed out by his second touchdown of the season, but his lack of involvement remains concerning. Anderson has eclipsed 50 receiving yards only twice this season, and this was the fourth time in 10 games that he's managed to secure only one catch.

Cleared to play Sunday
Anderson (shoulder/back) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against Washington after practicing fully Friday, Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports.
Analysis: While Anderson's playing status is no longer in doubt, his Week 11 fantasy utility is debatable. The speedy wideout maintains a degree of big-play upside, but he's been a hit-or-miss option of late and is coming off a quiet effort in the Week 10 win over the Giants. In that contest, he caught just one of his three targets for 11 yards, despite playing 54 of the Jets' 65 offensive snaps.

Anderson (shoulder/back) remained limited at Thursday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Anderson was limited at practice Wednesday due to back and shoulder injuries, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Anderson's status will be revisited Thursday to see whether he's able to graduate to full practice participation. The speedy wideout has been a hit-or-miss fantasy option of late and is coming off a dud in the Week 10 win over the Giants, during which he caught just one of his three targets for 11 yards, while logging 54 of a possible 65 offensive snaps.

Remains non-factor
Anderson caught one of three targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 34-27 win over the Giants.
Analysis: Anderson continues to falter, as the big plays that kept his bread buttered in past seasons just haven't come this year, excluding a 92-yard touchdown against Dallas back in Week 6. Despite his struggles, there's still some upside to be found with Anderson against Washington's vulnerable secondary in Week 11. The problem is, his floor remains extremely low, as evidenced by Sunday's performance.

Limited involvement in Miami
Anderson caught two of four targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 26-18 loss to the Dolphins.
Analysis: Quarterback Sam Darnold just missed connecting with Anderson on a pair of potential chunk plays, but the bottom line is that Anderson delivered a dud despite facing a putrid Dolphins team. New York now sports an identical 1-7 record to the Dolphins and has actually been worse offensively, so it's tough to trust anybody on that side of the ball for the Jets. It wouldn't be surprising to see Anderson break free for some big gains against a vulnerable Giants secondary in Week 10, but another poor…read more
