Dres Anderson Fantasy Stats

Despite the serious injury concerns that the Houston Texans have at the wide receiver position, the team has cut receiver Dres Anderson. The move signifies that wide receiver Bruce Ellington has made the team, but it still leaves the Texans in a precarious position in Week 1, with Will Fuller injured and Jaelen Strong suspended. It's likely that running back Tyler Ervin sees time at receiver. With the move, Ellington's stock has climbed -- he could be an intriguing target in daily fantasy leagues against the Jaguars, though his value will drop as soon as Strong returns.

The Houston Texans injury concerns at the wide receiver position have opened up room for an unexpected name to make the team's 53-man roster. Right now, it looks like that spot will come down to either Bruce Ellington or Dres Anderson. Ellington's strong play in Houston's three preseason games seems to be giving him the edge for the position. With Jaelen Strong missing the season opener due to suspension, Will Fuller out for a couple months and Braxton Miller still dealing with injury issues, the winner of the battle could see a lot of playing time during the team's opening game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The winner could have some sneaky value in daily leagues but should be avoided in season-long formats.
