Past Fantasy Outlooks

2020
Jonathan Taylor, Marlon Mack, Nyheim Hines and Jordan Wilkins currently are ahead of Anderson on the Colts' running back depth chart, so the TCU product isn't guaranteed a roster spot out of the gate this season. If he doesn't survive roster cuts, the 5-11, 195-pounder could resurface on Indy's practice squad, where he spent most of last season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Works out with Texans
The Texans worked Anderson out Thursday, according to Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston.
ANALYSIS
Anderson has yet to play in the NFL after being an undrafted free agent following a four-year college career at TCU. He spent time with the Colts in 2020 before being cut in the preseason this year. If he ends up with the Texans, he'll provide the team with running back depth behind David Johnson, Rex Burkhead and Royce Freeman.
