Robby Anderson

Robby Anderson caught two of four targets for 28 yards in the Jets’ Week 2 blowout loss to the Oakland Raiders.

Fantasy Impact

After struggling against the Bills secondary in Week 1, Anderson put in another pedestrian performance against the Raiders Sunday afternoon. The second-year receiver has had trouble getting separation at the line of scrimmage and has clearly been surpassed by Jermaine Kearse as the go-to target in the Jets passing game. Fantasy owners should look elsewhere for receiver help.

Robby Anderson caught four of his eight targets for 22 yards in the Jets' Week 1 loss to the Buffalo Bills.

Fantasy Impact

Anderson entered Week 1 as the Jets' top receiver but didn't look the part Sunday afternoon. Anderson was rendered a non-factor for most of the game and saw one fewer target than newly-acquired teammate Jermaine Kearse. There's a slight chance that Anderson will bounce back against the Raiders, but the second-year receiver won't be a viable fantasy option until he starts to produce on a consistent basis.

It probably did not help that Hackenberg was the quaterback. As of right now, we can just hope that Josh McCown can be able to find and give the ball to Robby Anderson. He should stay on waivers for 10-team leagues.

New York Jets beat writer Brian Costello does not believe Robby Anderson is a lock to enter the 2017 season as the team's No. 2 wide receiver.

Although Anderson is the favorite to open the 2017 season as the Jets' WR2, Costello doesn't think he is a lock for the job. He had an off the field issue in May at which he was arrested at a music festival but is unlikely to face suspension until the 2018 campaign for the offense. However, due to his small stature -- he is listed at 190 lbs by the Jets -- there is a fear amongst the organization that he could be dominated by physical corners in bump coverage. From a fantasy football perspective, I'd still expect Anderson to emerge as the team's WR2 to start the season, but with rookie ArDarius Stewart behind him, he could see an expanded role if the former struggles.

New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson was arrested at a music festival in Miami Sunday and was charged with "a felony count of resisting an officer with violence to his person and also obstruction of justice."

Fantasy Impact

As a result of his arrest and felony charge, Anderson could face disciplinary action from the authorities and the NFL. The impending second-year wideout is slated as New York's No. 3 receiver and could be in store for a breakout year after a stellar rookie campaign in 2016 in which he accumulated 42 receptions for 587 yards receiving and a pair of touchdowns. Anderson is on the WR4 radar for the 2017 fantasy football campaign whose stock is rising. However, if he is suspended by the league, his value could fall due to the presumed missed time.
