Robby Anderson Fantasy

New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson caught four passes for 81 yards on six targets Monday night against the Browns. Overall it was a good game for Anderson given the Jets started the game with backup QB Trevor Siemian and finished it with third-stringer Luke Falk running the offense. Anderson has always been a boom-or-bust big-play receiver and is likely to bust more often than not given the Jets current QB nightmare. He will be in the WR3 mix after the Jets Week 4 bye, when Sam Darnold should be back under center, but fantasy owners should leave Anderson on the bench next week in a brutal matchup at New England.

New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson's fantasy value will take a hit with quarterback Sam Darnold (illness) potentially out multiple weeks with mononucleosis. Quarterback Trevor Siemian will step in under center, and he's a downgrade from Darnold's throwing arm. Siemian is a "dink-and-dunk" quarterback, which means he's more apt to throwing short passes in order to move the chains. Anderson had three catches for 23 yards on seven targets in Week 1. His Week 2 matchup is also suspect. The Cleveland Browns allowed the fewest fantasy points to wide receivers in Week 1. Although, that is a little misleading because the Browns lost 43-13, the Browns' secondary is a talented group. If you also figure in that Jets running back Le'Veon Bell (shoulder) is also iffy for the game, the Jets could have a miserable time trying to move the ball. Anderson is still worth consideration as a flex in PPR this week, but there are options with more upside.

New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson had three catches for 23 yards in a Week 1 loss to the Bills. Cornerback Tre'Davious White and the rest of the Bills secondary that ranked first in the NFL last season did a great job keeping Anderson out of the game as the Jets offense stalled all afternoon. Quarterback Sam Darnold couldn't get anything going downfield and there was consistent pressure in his face. Despite the quiet game, it's good for fantasy owners to see Anderson healthy as he'd been dealing with a calf injury in the week leading up to the game. Anderson will have his big games, but it'll be hard for fantasy owners to predict when. Anderson is a boom or bust WR3 in a matchup with the Browns next Monday.
