Rest-of-Season Projections
Cut loose by Cincy
The Bengals released Anderson (knee) on Monday with a failed physical designation.
ANALYSIS
Though Anderson missed most of his final season at Oklahoma with a torn ACL, the Bengals thought enough of his potential to select him in the sixth round of the 2019 draft. He was cleared for full activity last August, but he appeared in just two preseason games before he tore the ACL in the same knee again. Anderson has worked hard in his rehab over the past year, but he didn't make enough progress in his recovery to get the green light for training camp. Unless another team puts in a waiver claim for Anderson, he'll revert to the Bengals' injured reserve list and miss at least the first eight weeks of the season.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2020
2019
While Anderson's talent has always been apparent, his health has been a perpetual question. 2019 was no different, as he suffered the third torn ACL of his career in the preseason and missed the entire regular season. This year he plans to take a slower approach to his rehab, and perhaps not make his debut until mid-August. That certainly tempers our expectations for him for 2020, especially given that the prize for him being ready for the season is to play on special teams and be third on the depth chart, if he beats out Trayveon Williams.
