Off of practice squad
The Dolphins cut Chosen from the practice squad Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Chosen was mistake-prone in his appearance during Miami's resounding loss to the Bills last Thursday, and it appears the team isn't interested in providing him further time to acclimate to the offense. The veteran's release could also be an indication that the team expects to get Malik Washington (oblique) back on the field Week 3 versus the Seahawks.

Back to practice squad
Chosen reverted to the Dolphins' practice squad Friday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Analysis: Chosen played 17 of 76 offensive snaps in Miami's blowout loss to the Bills on Thursday night. The veteran wideout reeled in just one of his four targets for five yards and was the intended receiver on one of Tua Tagovailoa's (concussion) three interceptions. Chosen is getting receiver snaps while Odell Beckham (undisclosed) works his back from offseason surgery.

Elevated to active roster
The Dolphins elevated Chosen from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Thursday night's divisional matchup against the Bills.
Analysis: Chosen will be active for Thursday Night Football against Buffalo after having played 11 offensive snaps (zero targets) during Miami's win over the Jaguars in Week 1. With rookie sixth-round wideout Malik Washington (quadriceps) sidelined again, Chosen will have another opportunity to handle a depth role behind top wideouts Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, plus No. 3 receiver Braxton Berrios.

Reverts to practice squad
Chosen reverted to the Dolphins' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Analysis: Chosen played on 12 of Miami's 71 offensive snaps against Jacksonville on Sunday and did not catch a pass. The veteran joined the Dolphins' practice squad Aug. 29 after failing to make the 49ers' 53-man roster.

Brought up to active roster
Chosen was elevated to the active roster from the practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's regular-season opener against the Jaguars.
Analysis: Chosen joined the Dolphins' practice squad Aug. 29 after failing to make the 49ers' 53-man roster at the conclusion of training camp. With rookie sixth-round wideout Malik Washington (quadriceps) ruled out for Week 1, Chosen will serve as the Dolphins' fifth wide receiver behind Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, Braxton Berrios and Grant DuBose. Across nine regular-season games with Miami last season, Chosen recorded four catches (on six targets) for 126 yards and one touchdown.

Back in Magic City
The Dolphins signed Chosen to the practice squad Thursday.
Analysis: Chosen appeared in nine regular-season games for the Dolphins in 2023, during which he accrued four catches (on six targets) for 126 yards and one touchdown. He signed with the 49ers in early August to battle for a depth wide receiver spot, but he was ultimately left off the final 53-man roster. Chosen's familiarity with the Dolphins' offense should provide him an opportunity to be elevated to the active roster at some point during the upcoming season.

Released by San Francisco
The 49ers released Chosen on Tuesday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Chosen spent the better part of August with the Niners after appearing nine games for the Dolphins last season. He played 28 offensive snaps in San Francisco's preseason finale but wasn't targeted. Now 31 years old, Chosen's career is certainly winding down.

Latches on with San Francisco
Chosen agreed to terms on a contract with the 49ers on Thursday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Chosen, who caught four passes in nine games for the Dolphins in 2023, now lands in San Francisco as a depth provision while Brandon Aiyuk's ongoing trade-request saga unfurls. Despite his ample experience in the NFL, the 31-year-old faces a difficult path to earning a roster spot with the 49ers, even if Aiyuk were to be dealt without San Francisco adding another notable wideout in return.

Trying out with Seattle
Chosen will try out for the Seahawks this week during the team's mandatory minicamp, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The wide receiver formerly known as Robby Anderson caught four passes in nine games for the Dolphins in 2023. The veteran has just 24 catches over the last two seasons. If he gets through his tryout and earns a contract, Chosen will join a crowded receiver room that includes DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett and Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

Only four catches in 2023
Chosen secured four of six targets for 126 yards and one touchdown across nine appearances with the Dolphins in 2023.
Analysis: Chosen's season highlight came in his first appearance, when he hauled in a 68-yard touchdown on his lone target during Miami's trouncing of the Broncos in Week 3. The veteran was quiet after that point, as he spent the rest of the campaign bouncing between the Dolphins' practice squad and active roster. Given that Chosen is playing on a one-year deal and set to become an unrestricted free agent, his best chance of earning another contract in Miami will likely be to make another splash play or…read more

Ready for Sunday
Chosen (concussion) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Ravens.
Analysis: The veteran wideout sustained a concussion in the Dolphins' Week 16 win over the Cowboys, but it now seems as if he's been able to clear protocol after a full practice session Friday. Chosen could very well see increased opportunities in Miami's wide receiver room with Jaylen Waddle (ankle) missing Sunday's affair.

Able to practice in limited fashion
Chosen (concussion) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Adam H. Beasley of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Analysis: Chosen is still in the NFL's five-step concussion protocol after hitting his head in Sunday's win over Dallas, but he appears to be making progress given his ability to practice (albeit in a limited fashion) Thursday. The wideout isn't typically a big part of Miami's pass-catching corps, as he has just four catches on five targets for 126 yards and a touchdown over seven games this season. However, Jaylen Waddle (ankle) didn't practice for the second straight day Thursday and is very iffy to…read more

Unable to practice Wednesday
Chosen (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
Analysis: Chosen hit his head following a catch Sunday versus Dallas and subsequently entered the NFL's five-step concussion protocol. Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Wednesday that the wideout is improving, but Chosen was nonetheless held out of practice Wednesday. Jaylen Waddle (ankle) also missed the first practice session of Week 17 prep and may not be able to suit up Sunday in Baltimore, so Chosen could potentially have a larger-than-usual role if he's able to play.

In concussion protocol
Chosen is in concussion protocol but has responded well so far, coach Mike McDaniel said Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of The Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: Chosen was placed in the NFL's five-step concussion protocol after sustaining a concussion in the first quarter of this past Sunday's win over the Cowboys. His practice participation levels should provide insight on how quickly Chosen's progressing through the protocol ahead of Sunday's game against the Ravens.

Won't return versus Dallas
Chosen (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Cowboys.
Analysis: Chosen exited late in the first quarter and was unable to pass the NFL's concussion protocols. He'll work this way to get through the league's protocols leading up to the Dolphins' Week 17 matchup against the Jaguars.

Gets expanded snaps with Hill out
Chosen played 23 of the Dolphins' 61 snaps on offense but wasn't targeted in Sunday's 30-0 win over the Jets.
Analysis: With Tyreek Hill (ankle) missing his first game of the season, Chosen re-entered the mix at receiver after he had been a healthy inactive for each of Miami's previous three contests. Though he ran his second-most routes of the campaign (11), Chosen didn't draw any looks from quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who threw only 24 passes in the blowout win and was mostly dialed in on Jaylen Waddle (8-142-1 receiving line) as his favorite target. If Hill is able to play in the Dolphins' Week 16 game…read more

Signs with active roster
Miami signed Chosen from its practice squad to its active roster Tuesday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: With Braxton Berrios (hamstring) and Chase Claypool (knee) banged up, the Dolphins saw fit to give Chosen a full-time promotion from their practice squad ahead of Week 12. In five games with Miami so far this season, he's converted four targets into three catches for 107 yards and a touchdown.

Logs two catches vs. Raiders
Chosen secured both of his targets for 39 yards during Sunday's 20-13 win over Las Vegas.
Analysis: Chosen had an impactful 30-yard catch in his first appearance with the Dolphins since Week 6. Prior to Sunday's game against the Raiders, he had been re-signed to the practice squad and elevated after previously being waived. While Chosen has occasionally made big plays for Miami this season, he's only utilized as a reserve wideout on a sporadic basis. That stands to remain the same during Friday's road matchup against the Jets.

Back with Miami
The Dolphins signed Chosen to their practice squad and elevated him to the active roster Saturday.
Analysis: Miami has decided to bring Chosen back to its practice squad just two days after waiving him.

Cut by Miami
The Dolphins waived Chosen on Thursday.
Analysis: The 30-year-old appeared in four games for the Dolphins this season, catching a 68-yard touchdown in the 70-20, Week 3 win over the Broncos. It was his only catch of the year, and Chosen had been inactive the last three games following the addition of Chase Claypool.

Not suiting up again
Chosen (coach's decision) is a healthy inactive for Sunday's game against the Chiefs in Frankfurt, Germany.
Analysis: Chosen is inactive for the third week in a row, with October trade pickup Chase Claypool having supplanted him as the Dolphins' No. 5 wideout. The Dolphins could end up bringing River Cracraft (shoulder) from injured reserve following the team's Week 10 bye, which will drop Chosen further down the depth chart.

Not playing Sunday
Chosen (coach's decision) won't play against the Eagles Sunday.
Analysis: Chosen will be inactive for the first time since the Dolphins signed him to their active roster back in September. The 30-year-old has caught one of his two targets for 68 yards and a touchdown in four games this season, and Chase Claypool should see more playing time in his absence.

Agrees to deal with Miami
Anderson and the Dolphins agreed to terms on a contract Saturday, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: Anderson was released by Arizona following the 2022 campaign after catching just seven of 17 targets for 76 yards over 10 appearances with the Cardinals. He started the season with Carolina, where he posted 13 receptions on 27 targets for 206 yards and one score. The speedster had a career-high 1,096 receiving yards in 2020, but he's struggled to replicate that type of production since. He's not guaranteed anything in Miami, but if he's able to get back to his 2020 form, he could carve out a…read more

Cut by Arizona
Arizona released Anderson on Wednesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: This move was expected after Anderson struggled to produce for the Cardinals after coming over in a midseason deal with the Panthers back in October. Over his 10 appearances for Arizona, Anderson tallied seven receptions for 76 yards and no touchdowns on 17 targets. Anderson's release clears $12 million in cap space for Arizona.

Expected to be released by Arizona
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports the Cardinals are expected to release Anderson.
Analysis: This is a no-brainer mover for new Cardinals GM Monti Ossenfort. Acquired from the Panthers in Week 7 last season, Anderson ended up catching seven passes for 76 scoreless yards across 10 games for Arizona. Releasing Anderson will save the Cardinals $12 million in cap space.

Ruled out for Week 18
Anderson (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Analysis: The 29-year-old wideout played 10 games for Arizona after an October trade, catching seven of 17 targets for 76 yards while mostly serving as the team's fourth or fifth wide receiver. Anderson will need to accept a pay cut to have any shot at sticking with the team, as his current contract calls for a non-guaranteed $8.8 million base salary and $3 million roster bonus in 2023, the final year of the deal. He'll be a free agent if/when the Cardinals release him.

Not practicing Thursday
Anderson (back) wasn't spotted on the field during Thursday's practice, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: With consecutive absences from practice to begin Week 18 prep, Anderson doesn't appear to be in a good spot as Sunday's game in San Francisco approaches. Unless Anderson can fit in some on-field activity Friday, he could be ruled out upon the release of the Cardinals' final Week 18 injury report. If Anderson is sidelined for the season finale, a few extra snaps could be opened up for A.J. Green and/or Andre Baccellia.

Anderson (back) didn't take part in Wednesday's walk-through practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: With DeAndre Hopkins (knee) out for Week 18 and Rondale Moore (groin) and Antoine Wesley (groin) on injured reserve, the Cardinals wide receivers that are available Sunday at San Francisco may be busy. Having said that, Anderson isn't able to practice to begin the week due to the back injury that forced an early exit from this past Sunday's defeat in Atlanta. In the end, he has two more sessions to turn the tide as it pertains to his availability this coming weekend.

Questionable to return Sunday
Anderson is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Falcons with a back injury.
Analysis: Anderson caught his lone target for 13 yards before exiting Sunday's contest. While the nature and severity of this back issue are still unclear, the 29-year-old was seen heading to the locker room before the end of the first half, according to Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site. With No. 1 wideout DeAndre Hopkins (knee) already inactive, Arizona will likely rely on Marquise Brown, Greg Dortch and A.J. Green to buoy the team's passing attack for the time being.

Sudden jump in production
Anderson gathered in all four targets for 50 yards during Monday's 27-13 defeat to the Patriots.
Analysis: Since Carolina dealt him to Arizona in October, Anderson has been an afterthought in the Cardinals offense, combining for two catches (on 10 targets) for 13 yards and no touchdowns in his first six appearances with the team. His uptick in production Monday may stem from familiarity at practice with backup quarterback Colt McCoy, who replaced Kyler Murray (knee) after the third offensive snap of the game. If Murray's injury ends up being season-ending, Anderson could be a factor operating with…read more

Records rare catch Sunday
Anderson caught one of three targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 25-24 loss to the Chargers.
Analysis: For the first time in his six-game Cardinals tenure, Anderson earned more than 40 percent of the snaps in back-to-back outings. He also recorded the first catch with his new club that netted a positive gain. With Marquise Brown returning to the lineup Sunday following a five-game absence, he and DeAndre Hopkins (14 combined targets) will dominate the looks from quarterback Kyler Murray moving forward, leaving Anderson to fend for scraps after the team's Week 13 bye.

Logs no targets in Week 11
Anderson wasn't targeted while playing 33 of 71 offensive snaps during Monday's 38-10 loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: Anderson has been active for all five of the Cardinals' games since the team acquired him from the Panthers, but he has just one catch for minus-4 yards on seven targets. His 46 percent snap share Monday was his second largest with his current squad, but despite injuries to the Arizona receiving corps, he has yet to make much of a mark. If Marquise Brown (foot) is able to return from IR for Sunday's contest versus the Chargers, there's a chance Anderson will be a healthy scratch in Week 12.

Anderson played just eight of 68 offensive snaps during Sunday's 27-17 win over the Rams.
Analysis: A Week 9 game in which he earned 82 percent of the offensive snaps aside, Anderson has ranged between 10 and 18 percent in his other three appearances (12 percent Sunday) with Arizona since a trade from Carolina. In those four contests, he's gathered in just one of seven targets for minus-4 yards. With Zach Ertz (knee) out indefinitely, Anderson could begin to mix in more consistently behind DeAndre Hopkins and Rondale Moore, but rookie tight end Trey McBride may be the best bet to inherit the…read more

Anderson reeled in one of three targets for minus-4 yards during Sunday's 31-21 loss to the Seahawks.

He experienced a huge increase in usage to 83 percent Sunday, but he was rarely looked at by quarterback Kyler Murray, with Rondale Moore (10), Zach Ertz (eight), DeAndre Hopkins (five) and James Conner (five) all surpassing Anderson in targets.

Bigger role may be imminent
Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said Wednesday that he's hopeful Anderson will have a bigger role Sunday against the Seahawks, Jose M. Romero of The Arizona Republic reports.
Analysis: Since arriving in Arizona from Carolina on Oct. 17, Anderson has played in both of the Cardinals' two games in the meantime, but his usage (19 offensive snaps) and target count (four) have yet to yield any production. Kingsbury specifically said the team will attempt to "force feed" him this weekend, but with wide receivers DeAndre Hopkins and Rondale Moore and tight end Zach Ertz taking on a huge portion of the available targets, Anderson still is waiting for his first catch with his new squad.

Held without catch in Week 8
Anderson was targeted three times but didn't record a catch during Sunday's 34-26 defeat at Minnesota.
Analysis: Among the Cardinals' five available wide receivers, Anderson finished fifth in terms of offensive snap count (seven of 78). Through two games with Arizona since a trade from Carolina, Anderson doesn't have a reception on four targets, and without an injury or role change to one of the players in front of him, he currently doesn't have a clear path to regular work.

Sparse usage with new team
Anderson went without a catch on one target and played 12 of 66 offensive snaps during Thursday's 42-34 victory against the Saints.
Analysis: It marked Anderson's second matchup with the Saints this season, but it was the former Panther's first in a Cardinals uniform following his trade to the desert earlier in the week. With Marquise Brown (foot) and Antoine Wesley (hip) on injured reserve, Anderson mixed into the receiving corps behind DeAndre Hopkins (61 plays), Rondale Moore (59) and Greg Dortch (35) and ahead of A.J.

Anderson may play "more than you'd expect" in his Cardinals debut Thursday against the Saints, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Following his trade from Carolina to Arizona on Monday, Anderson has had only two days to get up to speed with the Cardinals' playbook. While he initially was expected to get "15-to-20 snaps," per Rapoport, Anderson has acclimated quickly in his new home and could play a decent role Week 7.

Won't play much Week 7
Head coach Kliff Kingsbury said Wednesday that Anderson's role will be a minor one if he plays in Thursday's game against the Saints, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Analysis: Anderson doesn't have much time to prepare after the Panthers traded him to the Cardinals on Monday, three days before his new team hosts the Saints. There's an opportunity ahead with Marquise Brown (foot) expected to miss extended time, but the safer bets for Week 7 targets in Arizona are wideouts DeAndre Hopkins and Rondale Moore and tight end Zach Ertz.

Anderson wasn't targeted during the game and was spotted in a verbal argument with receivers coach Joe Dailey, per Joe Person of The Athletic.

Suiting up in Week 6
Anderson (illness) is listed as active Sunday at the Rams, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Analysis: Tacked on to the Panthers' injury report Friday as a non-participant due to an illness, Anderson is feeling well enough to be available to the team Week 6. It's unclear if he'll be impacted in any way, but he nonetheless will be one of P.J. Walker's top targets with Baker Mayfield (ankle) sidelined. While Anderson has hauled in just 13 of 27 targets through five games, he's averaging 15.8 yards per catch, which is good for a tie for 12th in the NFL this season.

Added to injury report
Anderson is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams after not practicing Friday due to an illness, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Analysis: Anderson practiced fully Wednesday and Thursday, so his addition to the Panthers' injury report Friday is notable and his status should be monitored ahead of Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. If Anderson is out this weekend, Shi Smith and Terrace Marshall would be next up for snaps at receiver reps behind DJ Moore.

Just one grab
Anderson caught one of five targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 37-15 loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: Anderson's lone reception was Carolina's longest offensive play of the game, but it was another frustrating performance from the team's passing attack. Furthermore, with Baker Mayfield (ankle) being injured Sunday, the Panthers may be forced to start P.J. Walker in Week 6 versus the Rams, which could cap Anderson's upside even more.

Three catches in Sunday's loss
Anderson caught three of five targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 26-16 loss to the Cardinals.
Analysis: The veteran speedster continues to struggle along with Baker Mayfield and the rest of the Panthers' passing game. Since topping 100 yards and scoring in Carolina's opener, Anderson has managed only a 7-72-0 line on 14 targets over the last three games. He'll have a tough time improving on those numbers in Week 5 against the stingy 49ers.

Makes one catch
Anderson caught one of four targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 22-14 win over the Saints.
Analysis: Anderson trailed only DJ Moore in targets, but both of Carolina's starting receivers finished with merely one catch. While Laviska Shenault injected some life with a 67-yard touchdown, the Panthers' passing game has underwhelmed through the first three weeks, with Anderson's production suffering as quarterback Baker Mayfield struggled again Sunday. Anderson will shoot for a bounce-back showing in Week 4 versus the Cardinals.

Fumbles in loss
Anderson caught three of five targets for 32 yards but lost a fumble in Sunday's 19-16 loss to the Giants.
Analysis: Anderson coughed the ball up after making a reception early in the first quarter, leading to a Giants field goal. After scoring a long touchdown in Week 1, Anderson made a costly mistake in another narrow defeat Sunday. Next up for him is a stretch of three straight home games, starting with a matchup against a talented Saints secondary next weekend.

Catches long TD
Anderson caught five of eight targets for 102 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-24 loss to the Browns.
Analysis: Anderson got wide open for a 75-yard touchdown during the fourth quarter, fueling his team-leading receiving day. That play tied for Anderson's longest gain as a Panther, and Sunday marked his first game with 100-plus yards since Week 5 of the 2020 campaign. As Carolina's most-targeted player as well, Anderson is off to a nice start with new quarterback Baker Mayfield.

Practices in full
Anderson (quadriceps) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Analysis: Anderson is on track to play in Sunday's regular-season opener against the Browns after having dealt with minor quad and hip injuries in training camp and the preseason. The veteran wideout will start opposite DJ Moore as one of new quarterback Baker Mayfield's top receiving options against Cleveland's stingy secondary.

Likely back at practice soon
Anderson (quad/hip) is expected to return to practice next week, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The veteran wide receiver was held out of every preseason game, but Anderson did periodically practice throughout the course of training camp, so the dual minor injuries don't appear to be too much of an issue. Expect more information regarding Anderson's status to emerge closer to the Panthers' Week 1 contest Sept. 11 against the Browns.

Out Friday, manages workout
Anderson (quad/hip) isn't expected to play in Friday's preseason game against the Bills, but he did go through a pregame workout on the field, Bill Voth of the Panthers' official site reports.
Analysis: Anderson is set to finish the preseason without any appearances but at least seems to be on track for Week 1 against the Browns. He's presumably getting another shot as Carolina's No. 2 receiver, though the team may not be as patient as it was last season if Anderson continues to struggle. He's never done especially well with Sam Darnold, who recently lost the team's QB battle to Baker Mayfield.

Anderson (hip/quad) is "ramping back up" after missing practice last week, according to Joe Person of The Athletic.

Anderson (quadriceps) isn't practicing Monday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Anderson made a brief appearance in Carolina's preseason opener before sitting out the second game. It sounds like the team will play some starters in the preseason finale this Friday against the Bills, including QB Baker Mayfield, but Anderson won't necessarily be ready for the contest. After that, Anderson still would have more than two weeks to prepare for a Week 1 home game against the Browns.

Unlikely to play Friday
Anderson (quadriceps) isn't slated to play in Friday's preseason game in New England, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Analysis: Anderson didn't catch his only target while playing five offensive snaps in Carolina's exhibition opener at Washington. Since then, he's come down with a quadriceps injury, which will keep him on the sideline Friday. Anderson will be joined by DJ Moore (shoulder) and Terrace Marshall (hamstring), leaving Rashard Higgins, Brandon Zylstra and Shi Smith, among others, as the team's top available wide receivers.

Dealing with quad injury
Head coach Matt Rhule said Wednesday that Anderson isn't practicing due to a quadriceps injury, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.
Analysis: Anderson only has a handful of days to recover before Friday's preseason game against the Patriots, seemingly making him an unlikely candidate to suit up for that contest. The severity of the veteran wideout's injury is uncertain, but as long as Anderson remains away from the practice field, Terrace Marshall and Rashard Higgins will benefit from increased first-team reps.

Making strides in camp
Anderson has done well improving his grasp of the Panthers offense during training camp, according to coach Matt Rhule, Augusta Stone of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Anderson has been acclimating to new quarterback Baker Mayfield, who is competing with Sam Darnold for Carolina's starting job, as well as new coordinator Ben McAdoo. Along with flashing speed for Mayfield downfield, the wideout's growing knowledge of McAdoo's scheme has drawn praise early on. Coming off a down season of just 53 catches on 110 targets for 519 yards and five scores in 17 games, Anderson will hope to bounce back this season with the help of some new faces around him.

Now a target for Mayfield
Anderson could benefit from new quarterback Baker Mayfield's effectiveness on deep passes, Joseph Person of The Atlantic reports.
Analysis: Anderson had mixed responses regarding Carolina's reported interest in Mayfield over the offseason, but with the Panthers acquiring the signal-caller recently, the pair will now actually work together. Although Mayfield will compete with Sam Darnold to be named the team's starter, Anderson should be a prominent target for both signal-callers.

Restructures contract
Anderson agreed to restructure his contract with the Panthers on Friday, creating $5.9 million in cap space, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Analysis: To do so, Carolina converted $11.8 million of Anderson's salary into a signing bonus. Anderson, who is heading into his age-29 season and is approaching the final year of his deal with the Panthers, is currently staring down a developing quarterback situation. With just Sam Darnold and P.J. Walker currently holding down the fort in Carolina's quarterback room, it seems all but certain that the team will explore more options for the 2022 season.

Touchdown to end season
Anderson caught seven of eight targets for 50 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-17 loss to the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Anderson matched his season high in receptions, with his signature contribution coming on a superb, over-the-shoulder touchdown catch from 19 yards on a fourth-down play during the fourth quarter. Despite his commendable performance Sunday, Anderson's season overall didn't go as planned, as uneven quarterback play, primarily from Sam Darnold, inhibited Carolina's offense over the course of the campaign.

Analysis: The veteran speedster thus will mark the fourth consecutive absence-free campaign of his career.

Game-time call for finale
Anderson (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Tampa Bay, with Panthers coach Matt Rhule labeling the wideout as a game-time decision after he missed practice throughout the week, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: For all that's gone wrong this season, Anderson has at least managed to stay on the field, hitting the 16-game mark for a fifth time in six pro seasons. Production has been another story of course, though he did have one of his better games (relatively speaking) when the Panthers faced the Bucs two weeks ago, catching five of 10 targets for 58 yards. Anderson then dropped back to 10 yards on two targets in last week's loss to the Saints, and he's now in danger of missing the season finale,…read more

Tending to quad injury
Anderson didn't practice Wednesday due to a quadriceps injury.
Analysis: If Anderson was hurt in this past Sunday's loss at New Orleans, it wasn't evident in his workload, as he was on the field for 98 percent of Carolina's offensive plays on his way to hauling in both of his targets for 10 yards. With a health concern now in tow, his activity level will be something to watch Thursday and Friday to get a sense of his potential to play Week 18 at Tampa Bay.

Just two grabs
Anderson caught both of his targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Saints.
Analysis: Anderson was decent in quarterback Sam Darnold's return last week, but Sunday's performance reverted to his prior standard with Darnold under center this season. The wideout was hardly involved as Carolina failed to threaten downfield, resulting in Anderson's seventh game with under 20 receiving yards this term. He'll strive to at least finish the campaign on a positive note in Week 18 versus the Buccaneers, when game flow might result in more opportunities to make plays.

Anderson brought in five of 10 targets for 58 yards in the Panthers' 32-6 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Analysis: Anderson drew even with DJ Moore for the team lead in receptions while pacing the Panthers in receiving yardage as well. The speedster was partly hamstrung by the inefficient play of both Cam Newton and Sam Darnold under center, but he at least extended what has been a reasonably productive late-season stretch.

Inefficient again
Anderson caught three passes for 29 yards on eight targets and ran for 33 yards on two carries against Buffalo on Sunday.
Analysis: It might not all be Anderson's fault -- the quarterback play for Carolina in 2021 has been bad at best -- but the fact is the veteran is in the midst of a legendarily inefficient season. With this game in the books, Anderson now has just 39 catches for 401 yards and four touchdowns on 89 targets, meaning he has caught just 43.8 percent of passes thrown to him at 4.5 yards per target.

Best performance of season
Anderson brought in seven of 12 targets for 84 yards and a touchdown in the Panthers' 29-21 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.
Analysis: The veteran speedster finally had what could be considered a breakout game by his lowly 2021 standards, with both his reception and receiving yardage totals serving as season highs. Anderson also got into the end zone for the second time in the last four games when he recorded a five-yard touchdown grab from P.J. Walker with 3:11 remaining. Anderson's first opportunity to build on his momentum comes in a difficult Week 15 road matchup against the Bills.

Sees downturn in production
Anderson brought in one of four targets for 15 yards in the Panthers' 33-10 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
Analysis: A week after recording five receptions in the first start of Cam Newton's second tenure with the Panthers, Anderson saw a disappointing downturn. It's been an undeniably underwhelming year for the speedster overall, and unless Newton significantly picks up his play, Anderson will continue to have an uphill battle to a serviceable fantasy line during a Week 14 home matchup against the Falcons following a Week 13 bye.

Analysis: Anderson was once again a virtual non-factor after putting up a goose egg last Sunday.

Anderson didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 19-13 win over the Falcons.
Analysis: Anderson was rocked on his lone target, leaving him down on the field afterward. Although the wideout returned to Sunday's contest, he wasn't involved in the passing game beyond that play. His goose egg added to what's been a very disappointing campaign, as Anderson has topped 50 yards just once through eight outings.

Anderson had three receptions (11 targets) for 11 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-28 overtime loss to the Vikings.

Anderson recorded five receptions on 11 targets for 46 yards in Sunday's Week 4 loss to the Cowboys.
Analysis: Anderson had commanded only 11 targets combined between the team's first three games, and he matched that with his performance Sunday. Despite the volume, Anderson wasn't able to translate that into much production as he managed only 4.2 yards per target.

Makes lone catch count
Anderson caught one of three targets for a 57-yard touchdown in Sunday's 19-14 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Anderson's only catch was a huge one, as he got behind the defense for a 57-yard touchdown in the second quarter. The speedster fleshed out his skill tree en route to career highs in catches (95) and receiving yards (1,096) last season, but his bread and butter is still the deep ball. He took advantage of the Jets' inexperienced secondary in the opener and will look to do the same in Week 2 against the injury-riddled Saints unit.

Tallies touchdown catch
Anderson recorded two receptions on five targets for 15 yards and a touchdown in Friday's preseason contest against the Steelers.
Analysis: Anderson played with the first-team offense throughout the initial two quarters. He didn't do much until the end of the half, when he hauled in an eight-yard touchdown with 28 seconds remaining. It is worth noting that most of his receptions and targets came near the line of scrimmage, highlighting potential usage that will be worth monitoring into the regular season.

Analysis: It's unclear if Anderson will get as much playing time as starting quarterback Sam Darnold, but the pair was out there almost the exact amount of snaps (six versus seven, respectively, on offense) in preseason Week 2, so they may get up to two quarters of action. Anderson is fresh off signing a two-year, $29.5 million extension earlier this week, so the Panthers may not want to risk it too much considering the recent investment.

Anderson is signing a two-year, $29.5 million extension with the Panthers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Anderson signed a two-year, $20 contract last spring and responded with his first 1,000-yard season. The Panthers still have plenty of weaknesses, but wide receiver should be an annual strength with Anderson, DJ Moore and Terrace Marshall all under team control through 2023. It remains to be seen if QB Sam Darnold and OC Joe Brady are able to keep all three receivers well fed in an offense that also has volume hog Christian McCaffrey and a potential TE upgrade in Dan Arnold.

Analysis: Anderson's catch was the only completion for starting quarterback Sam Darnold, who Anderson previously worked well with while playing for the Jets.

Suited up Saturday
Anderson (hamstring) is dressed for Saturday's preseason game against Baltimore, Charlotte Observer writer Alaina Getzenberg reports.
Analysis: Anderson had missed practice time with the hamstring and wasn't initially expected to play in Saturday's game, so it might be taken for a good sign that Anderson was allowed to dress for the game Saturday. He's still not guaranteed to play live snaps against Baltimore. If healthy Anderson will likely lock into the starting role opposite D.J.

Unlikely to suit up Sunday
Anderson likely will be a DNP for Sunday's preseason game at Indianapolis, Alaina Getzenberg of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Analysis: Coach Matt Rhule plans to sit most of the starters but specifically said only Sam Darnold by name. However, Rhule's list likely includes Anderson, DJ Moore and Christian McCaffrey as well. Anderson has been on the receiving end of passes from Darnold in the past when they were teammates on the Jets. The wide receiver fared modestly, putting up very similar stat lines in both 2018 (50-752-6 on 94 targets) and 2019 (52-779-5 on 96 targets). After moving on to Carolina in the 2020 offseason, he…read more

Positive on Darnold reunion
Anderson has spoken positively of quarterback Sam Darnold's transition to the Panthers, ESPN's David Newton reports.
Analysis: Anderson is reunited with Darnold this season after the pair played together on the Jets in the 2018 and 2019 campaigns. Those were Darnold's first two years in the NFL and coincided with Anderson leading New York in receiving over that span. The wideout has taken note of Darnold's fresh demeanor away from the bright, big-city spotlight this offseason, and believes the signal-caller will have an easier time learning Carolina's playbook. If all goes well, a more comfortable Darnold could help he…read more

Caps strong season with quiet game
Anderson caught three of seven targets for 40 yards during Sunday's 33-7 loss to the Saints.
Analysis: Anderson made a splash with his 31-yard long gain but managed just nine yards between his other two grabs. He was lost in the shuffle a bit in this one as DJ Moore and Curtis Samuel had big games, but he finishes the season with new career highs of 95 receptions and 1,096 yards to go along with three touchdowns. Anderson should maintain a large role next season -- especially if Samuel leaves in free agency -- and will look to improve upon his first campaign with the Panthers.

Robinson (groin) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Robinson went down as a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, though he was present for the session and sported a no-contact jersey while he worked out. According to Bill Voth of the Panthers' official site, Anderson ditched the jersey for the portion of Thursday's session that was open to the media, and his listing as a full participant on the official report implies he did in fact take contact in some capacity. With that, Anderson looks like he'll enter Sunday's season finale against the…read more

Held out by groin injury
Anderson didn't practice Wednesday due to a groin injury.
Analysis: Anderson was spotted wearing a red no-contact jersey at the start of the session, and after logging no reps whatsoever, he was listed with the groin issue on the Panthers' first Week 17 injury report. The fifth year of his career has been one of personal bests in terms of catches (92) and receiving yards (1,056), but Anderson only has three touchdowns on 129 targets. Anderson's status is now in question for Sunday's game against the Saints.

Wearing non-contact jersey
Anderson is donning a red no-contact jersey at Wednesday's practice, Bill Voth of the Panthers' official site reports.
Analysis: Anderson handled his usual snap share during last weekend's win over Washington, securing seven of 10 targets for 39 yards and a score in the process. It's possible that the veteran wideout is simply receiving a day of rest, but Wednesday's practice report will reveal whether Anderson is dealing with any sort of injury.

Tallies third touchdown
Anderson recorded seven receptions on 10 targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in Week 16 against Washington.
Analysis: Despite plenty of opportunity, Anderson turned in an inefficient performance by averaging only 3.9 yards per target. He did manage to tally his third touchdown of the season on a 14-yard reception late in the second quarter, which was also his longest reception of the day. After this disappointing performance, Anderson will look to cap his career-best season with a strong effort in Week 17 against the Saints.

Limited to two catches in loss
Anderson brought in two of five targets for 21 yards in the Panthers' 24-16 loss to the Packers on Saturday night. He also netted minus-1 yard on his sole rush.
Analysis: Anderson unexpectedly slumped to a season-low reception total while also tying his low-water mark in receiving yardage and targets in the eight-point loss. The speedster was consistently contained by the Packers' coverage-savvy secondary, which resulted in a particularly untimely dud for fantasy managers who've been benefiting from his strong production the majority of the season.

Posts 84 yards against Denver
Anderson reeled in eight of 12 targets for 84 yards, adding two rushes for 13 yards during Sunday's 32-27 loss to the Broncos.
Analysis: Anderson and Curtis Samuel (nine targets) served as the clear go-to options for Teddy Bridgewater, as DJ Moore (ankle) remained on the reserve/COVID-19 list for Sunday's tilt. Regardless of Moore's presence in the lineup, Anderson has been consistently posting viable fantasy numbers in 2020, surpassing his previous career high in receiving yards (941) by virtue of his Week 14 performance. A total of just two touchdowns has kept Anderson from the elite tier of the position, but a constant…read more

Could see extra targets
Anderson may see even more work than usual in Sunday's game against the Broncos, as teammate DJ Moore remains on the reserve/COVID-19 list, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: With Moore and Christian McCaffrey (thigh/shoulder) both expected to sit out, the Panthers are left with Anderson, Curtis Samuel and RB Mike Davis as their top receiving threats. Anderson has already been a steady part of the offense all season, but he reached double-digit targets in just one of his last seven games before a Week 13 bye, averaging 5.6 catches for 60.4 yards in that stretch.

Just short of century mark in loss
Anderson secured four of seven targets for 94 yards and a touchdown in the Panthers' 28-27 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.
Analysis: Anderson displayed his impressive wheels on his 41-yard score in the second quarter, turning a crossing pattern into his second touchdown of the campaign. The 27-year-old paced the Panthers in receiving yardage on the afternoon, with his tally qualifying as his highest since a 112-yard effort versus the Falcons back in Week 5. Anderson will look to carry over the momentum into a Week 14 home matchup against the Broncos following the Week 13 bye.

Solid volume in Week 11 win
Anderson brought in seven of nine targets for 46 yards in the Panthers' 20-0 win over the Lions on Sunday.
Analysis: Anderson was back to his usual high-volume target share a week after he produced a season-low 21 yards on six looks in a Week 10 loss to the Buccaneers. While he still lagged considerably behind fellow wideouts DJ Moore and Curtis Samuel in yardage, Anderson did compile his third-highest reception total of the campaign. Anderson's solid Week 11 chemistry with spot starter P.J. Walker notwithstanding, Anderson's fantasy ceiling likely is higher if Teddy Bridgewater (knee) is able to return for a…read more

Quieted in Week 10 loss
Anderson brought in four of six targets for 21 yards in the Panthers' 46-23 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Analysis: Anderson was in the familiar position of serving as one of the Panthers' leaders in targets, checking in second only to DJ Moore in that category for the afternoon. However, unlike most every other game this season, Anderson couldn't shake free for any appreciable gains, leading to his lowest yardage tally of the campaign. The veteran Temple product will look to put the underwhelming performance behind him when the Panthers tangle with the Lions in a favorable Week 11 matchup.

Analysis: Anderson saw his usual hefty workload in the Panthers passing game, one that saw him draw a team- and season-high number of targets. The fifth-year pro also tied his season best for receptions, further cementing his status as Teddy Bridgewater's top target in a game that marked the return of Christian McCaffrey (ribs) to action.

Mostly short-area work in loss
Anderson brought in five of eight targets for 48 yards in the Panthers' 25-17 loss to the Falcons on Thursday night.
Analysis: The speedy Anderson continued to serve as Teddy Bridgewater's favorite target, as the eight looks he logged were a team high. However, outside of a 27-yard grab, the Falcons secondary did a good job keeping Anderson in front of them, surrendering just 21 yards to him on his other four catches. The overall yardage tally was the lowest for Anderson on the season, so he'll look to bounce back in what should be a high-scoring Week 9 affair versus the Chiefs on the road Sunday, Nov. 8.

Busy day in loss
Anderson secured six of eight targets for 74 yards in the Panthers' 27-24 loss to the Saints on Sunday.
Analysis: Anderson tied Curtis Samuel for the team lead in receptions, checked in second in receiving yards, and set the pace in targets. His chemistry with fellow new arrival Teddy Bridgewater has been excellent from the start, and Anderson has now posted at least Sunday's reception and receiving yardage tallies in five of seven games. The veteran speedster will look to keep the momentum going against the vulnerable Falcons secondary in a Thursday night Week 8 matchup.

Analysis: Anderson was out-targeted by DJ Moore for the first time since Week 2 -- and by a wide margin -- as the Maryland product more than doubled Anderson's target share against the Bears. Despite the discrepancy in targets, Moore ended up only one notch higher in the catch department than did Anderson, with 16 more receiving yards.

Analysis: Though D.J. Moore was the lone Panthers wideout to corral a Teddy Bridgewater TD pass on the day, Anderson out-targeted Moore for a third consecutive contest, providing the Temple product with a 47-37 edge in that department this season. With plentiful opportunities, Anderson has produced for his former college coach Matt Rhule, as he now sits just 11 receiving yards shy of the 500-yard threshold with 11 games remaining on the regular-season slate.

Analysis: Anderson continues to produce like a Pro Bowl receiver for his former college coach Matt Rhule, as the Temple product has already accumulated 28 receptions for 377 yards and a touchdown through the first quarter of Carolina's regular-season slate. The argument can be made that he is the top WR option (if not co-WR1) for the new-look Panthers, as Anderson has out-targeted D.J. Moore 34-32 through four weeks.

Analysis: Anderson finished second on the team in targets, catches and yards but was unable to break off any of his typical long gains. Still, he came away with a respectable stat line in a difficult matchup and is averaging 92.7 yards per game in three contests with his new team.

Breaks off long touchdown
Anderson tallied six catches on eight targets for 115 yards and one touchdown in Week 1 against the Raiders.
Analysis: Anderson racked up just one target fewer than D.J. Moore, surprising volume for the deep threat. However, the majority of his production came on a 75-yard deep touchdown reception halfway through the fourth quarter. Anderson showed immediate chemistry with quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, which should bode well for him remaining involved in the offense. He and the Panthers will draw a stiff test in Week 2 as they take on the Buccaneers.

Impressing early in camp
Anderson's speed has helped him consistently get separation while running routes in training camp, Jonathan M. Alexander of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Analysis: Anderson's addition to Carolina's offense bolstered a receiving corps that included D.J. Moore and Curtis Samuel, not to mention tailback Christian McCaffrey. In his first couple practices, Anderson has reportedly been open often due to his agility, a premium component new coordinator Joe Brady and quarterback Teddy Bridgewater will hope to capitalize on. In fact, with a few nice touchdowns in his early camp outings, Anderson already seems to have developed a decent rapport with Bridgewater.

Analysis: Anderson likely is disappointed with the financial terms, perhaps suffering from a lack of interest due to the 2020 NFL Draft being loaded at his position. From an on-field standpoint he'll have plenty of competition for targets, joining D.J. Moore and Curtis Samuel to give Teddy Bridgewater one of the fastest WR groups in the NFL.

Anderson, a pending free agent, said he won't give the Jets a hometown discount, Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports. "You got to talk to my agent," Anderson said. "I don't think that makes sense."
Analysis: The real question is whether he'll even listen to the team's offers. Anderson has played 62 of a possible 64 games since latching on with the Jets as an undrafted rookie in 2016, typically working as the first or second option in the passing game.

Even though he failed to notch a touchdown grab for only the second time in the last five games, Anderson did find the end zone on a two-point conversion catch following a fourth-quarter Crowder scoring reception.

Cleared to play Sunday
Anderson (shoulder/back) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against Washington after practicing fully Friday, Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports.
Analysis: While Anderson's playing status is no longer in doubt, his Week 11 fantasy utility is debatable. The speedy wideout maintains a degree of big-play upside, but he's been a hit-or-miss option of late and is coming off a quiet effort in the Week 10 win over the Giants.
