Stephen Anderson Fantasy

The Los Angeles Chargers re-signed tight end Stephen Anderson to an undisclosed deal. Anderson played in all 16 games (three starts) last year and proved to be reliable tight end depth behind Hunter Henry. He finished the season with eight catches for 106 yards and no touchdowns while averaging 13.3 yards per catch. Anderson was also used as the team's primary run-blocking tight end after injuries to both Henry and Virgil Green. He's a smaller, athletic tight end that can work out of the backfield as a lead blocker as well as a pass-catcher. Behind veteran Jared Cook, Anderson and Donald Parham will serve as tight end depth for the Bolts. Anderson will only have fantasy appeal if Cook misses time with injury.

Los Angeles Chargers tight Stephen Anderson caught six of his four targets for 48 yards in Week 16 versus the Denver Broncos. Anderson saw the start in place of Hunter Henry (COVID-19) on Sunday and made the most of his opportunity. Despite the nice performance, Henry is expected in Week 17 and that would limit the amount of snaps Anderson would have. Anderson can safely remain on the waiver wire for now.

The New England Patriots signed free-agent tight end Stephen Anderson on Thursday. Anderson was recently cut by the Texans last weekend, and the Patriots curiously play Houston in Week 1. New England already has Rob Gronkowski, Dwayne Allen and Jacob Hollister on roster, so Anderson is unlikely to see much playing time unless an injury occurs.
