C.J. Anderson Fantasy Football Outlook (2018)

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Sat, Aug 25th 2018, 8:37am EDT

Most thought it was a terrible landing spot for Anderson in Carolina, but it was likely the best-case scenario. Most don't realize that Jonathan Stewart totaled 198 carries last year, which ranked inside the top-20 at the position. Anderson has always been one of the most efficient runners on first- and second-down while playing behind a mediocre offensive line. If he reaches the same amount of carries that Stewart did, he's going to finish as a top-24 running back. The best part is that you don't have to spend even a top-30 running back pick on him. He is someone who loses a lot of appeal in PPR formats, as he's unlikely to catch more than 10 passes this year. Update: The Panthers have given Christian McCaffrey nearly every first-team snap in the preseason, so maybe they are planning on using Anderson in a change-of-pace role, though it doesn't quite suit his skill-set. He's just a handcuff at this point.
