Robby Anderson

According to Mike Garofolo of NFL Network, Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson did not miss a court date on Wednesday and that there is no longer a warrant for his arrest.

Garafolo is reporting that it was a clerical error by the courthouse and that his court date isn't until July 19th. This is all according to Ed O'Donnell, the attorney for Anderson. It seems like Anderson is out of trouble for the foreseeable future, but this dark cloud isn't going to get away from the league. With Anderson's history, expect the league to take a long look into this incident with a police officer and potentially hand down a suspension. If you're drafting early for a start-up dynasty league, you should slightly lower Anderson on your draft board.

Robby Anderson missed a court date Tuesday and as a result, an arrest warrant has been issued. This stems from a reckless driving charge.

Despite how bad it sounds, the arrest warrant itself is common procedure for these types of scenarios. The bigger issue stems from Anderson's repeated off-the-field incidents. He was initially charged with harming a public servant and aggravated fleeing police, but those charges were dismissed. Last year, he was arrested at a Miami music festival and the date for that trial is in August. There's also the chance that a suspension could arise should the league find his conduct detrimental. If he avoids suspension, the talent is still there to make him fantasy relevant for the 2018 season.

New York Jets beat reporter Rich Cimini is reporting WR Robby Anderson was arrested in South Florida on Thursday night for charges that include resisting an officer, harming a public servant or family and fleeing the police. Cimini is adding that the team is aware of Anderson's arrest but have yet to comment.

This is Anderson's second South Florida arrest in a year. Last offseason, the troubled wideout was picked up while at a music festival for similar charges. As a result, Anderson, who is coming off of a breakout season, recording a 63-941-7 stat line -- he finished as the WR16 with 137 fantasy points -- could face disciplinary actions from the NFL for his conduct off the field. From a fantasy perspective, Anderson's ADP could be affected if he is banned for any amount of games. His ADP will also depend on the Jets' quarterback situation, plus, the role of Quincy Enunwa in the wake of his eventual return from a season-ending neck injury suffered in the preseason.

Robby Anderson caught one of three targets for two yards in the Jets' Week 17 loss to the New England Patriots.

It was a disappointing end to the season, but Anderson can take solace in the fact that he proved to everyone that his rookie-year performance wasn’t a fluke. The second-year man out of Temple established himself as the Jets’ top receiver this season, leading all wideouts in targets, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns. The Jets' quarterback situation is very much up in the air for next season, but Anderson may have keeper value in deep leagues and remains in the WR2 conversation for next season.

Robby Anderson caught five of seven targets for 51 yards in the Jets’ Week 16 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.

Fantasy Impact

Predictably, Anderson took a step back against the Chargers with Bryce Petty under center. However, the second-year receiver was Petty’s preferred option in the passing attack, catching 51 of his 119 passing yards on the day. Even with a high floor, any fantasy owner who has their championship game in Week 17 shouldn’t start Anderson and he offers very little DFS value for the remainder of the season.
