Robby Anderson Fantasy

The Carolina Panthers agreed to a two-year, $20 million deal with former New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson on Tuesday. Anderson will receive $12 million in the first year of the deal and will be a free agent again at 29 years old. He'll be reuniting with his old college coach Matt Rhule, who is the Panthers head coach. The Jets were interested in bringing Anderson back as their No. 1 wideout, but he'll head to Carolina instead, where he'll join D.J. Moore and Curtis Samuel in three-wide sets. It's another receiving weapon for new quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, who is taking over for Cam Newton. Anderson's arrival is bad news for both Moore and Samuel, and Anderson may still struggle to post his first 1,000-yard of his career. The 26-year-old had 52 catches for 779 yards (15.0 yards per catch) and five touchdowns in 2019. He'll be a WR4/5 target with upside for more if he becomes a focal point in Carolina's offense.

It was anticipated that free-agent wide receiver Robby Anderson would receive plenty of attention on the open market as the No. 2 available wideout behind Amari Cooper, who quickly re-signed with the Cowboys. However, free agency hasn't gone as expected for Anderson and he's still available without anyone showing interest in him four days into free agency. The New York Jets remain without a No. 1 receiver and Anderson has worked with quarterback Sam Darnold for two years and knows head coach Adam Gase's system. With his price dropping, the Jets could get Anderson to return at a price they're comfortable with. The 26-year-old has never had a 1,000-yard season and was a disappointment in his second year with Darnold in 2019. If he returns to New York, Anderson will be more of a WR4/flex for fantasy owners.

New York Jets impending free-agent wide receiver Robby Anderson said on NFL Live that he would like to re-sign with the team. "l think they definitely want me back," Anderson said. "I truly do want to be back with the Jets. I love Sam (Darnold). I love my teammates, Jamal (Adams) and all those guys. I feel like there's unfinished business there that I've been trying to get done since I got there." Despite not having a 1,000-yard season in his four years in the NFL, the 26-year-old will have a robust market as one of the top free-agent wideouts available. So if the Jets really are interested in bringing him back as their top receiver, they'll have to spend. Anderson was an inconsistent WR4/flex option for fantasy owners in 2019, and his fantasy value could rise with a move out of New York.
