Cards cut ties with Anderson

The Cardinals have released WR Chosen (Robby) Anderson. Last year, he managed only 20 catches, 282 yards and 1 score across 16 games. Going on 30, we’d bet against the veteran re-emerging as a fantasy factor.

The Dolphins signed WR Chosen "the-artist-formerly-known-as-Robbie" Anderson. A valuable deep threat early in his career, Anderson has been one of the least efficient WRs in the NFL over the past 2 seasons. He ranked 97th among 101 qualifiers in yards per route run with the Panthers in 2021, and then finished 94th out of 96 last year in Carolina and then Arizona. In Miami, Anderson will duke it out with WRs Braxton Berrios and Cedrick Wilson for action behind target hogs Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. You can continue to ignore Anderson in early best-ball drafts.

Cardinals WR Robbie Anderson is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Falcons with a back injury. His absence leaves Marquise Brown, Greg Dortch and A.J. Green as Arizona's top 3 WRs.

Update: Anderson has been ruled out.

Cardinals WR Robbie Anderson is active for tonight's game vs. the Saints. He joined the team just 3 days ago. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said earlier tonight that Anderson might play "more than you expect," but he still can't be trusted in Week 7 fantasy lineups.

Cardinals HC Kliff Kingsbury wouldn't say whether WR Robbie Anderson will play vs. the Saints on Thursday night. "If we do it, it'll be very limited and make sure he knows (his plays)," Kingsbury said. No surprise considering Anderson just joined the Cardinals on Monday. He's not a Week 7 fantasy option but is worth stashing in fantasy leagues of 12+ teams.

The Panthers are trading WR Robbie Anderson to the Cardinals, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Anderson had already been on the trade block before his sideline altercation with Carolina's coaching staff in Sunday's loss to the Rams. He heads from a pathetic Panthers passing game to a struggling Cardinals passing game. When Arizona's WR corps is healthy, Anderson might be the #4 WR behind DeAndre Hopkins, Marquise Brown and Rondale Moore. Brown went down with a foot injury late in Week 6, though, so we'll see about his status. Anderson is worth stashing in fantasy leagues of 12+ teams, but we're not very excited about his rest-of-season outlook.

Update: The Panthers are receiving a 2024 6th-round pick and a 2025 7th-rounder for Anderson, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.
