Caps strong season with quiet game Anderson caught three of seven targets for 40 yards during Sunday's 33-7 loss to the Saints.
Impact 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.

Week 17 Thursday Injury Report: Robby Anderson returns The wideout practiced after sitting out Wednesday with a groin injury.
DECEMBER 31, 2020 • PANTHERS.COM
Puts in full practice Robinson (groin) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
Impact 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 Saints without any restrictions.

Held out by groin injury Anderson didn't practice Wednesday due to a groin injury.
Impact 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.
Impact 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.

Panthers face growing dilemma on whether to keep WR Samuel
Panthers versatile wide receiver Curtis Samuel continues to show just how valuable he is to the PanthersDECEMBER 28, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Tallies third touchdown Anderson recorded seven receptions on 10 targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in Week 16 against Washington.
Impact 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.
Impact 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. Anderson will look to atone in a Week 16 battle against Washington on Sunday, Dec. 27, but that also presents as a difficult matchup when considering the Football Team enters its Week 15 contest allowing the third-fewest passing yards per game (206.3).

Posts 84 yards against Denver Anderson reeled in eight of 12 targets for 84 yards during Sunday's 32-27 loss to the Broncos.
Impact 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 workload of 8.8 targets per game has helped him ascend into a Pro-Bowl candidate nonetheless. An upcoming matchup against Jaire Alexander and the Packers poses a challenge, with the Packers surrendering the second-fewest WR receptions on the 2020 campaign.

Could see extra targets Anderson could see even more work than usual in Sunday's game against the Broncos, as teammate DJ Moore remains on the reserve/COVID-19 list, ESPN's David Newton reports.
Impact 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. Moore's absence increases Anderson's target projection, but there might be a trade off in terms of defensive attention.

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.
Impact 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.
