2024 Fantasy Outlook
The Texans were questioned for trading up significantly in the draft to select Anderson third overall in 2023, but his production in his rookie season certainly suggests that deal will work out for the team. Even after playing the final quarter of the campaign at less than full strength, he finished 22nd in the league with 59 quarterback pressures (per PFF) while also playing more than serviceably against the run. With another year to hone his craft and prepare for the rigors of the NFL schedule, we should expect Anderson to take another step forward from his award-winning rookie campaign. Read Past Outlooks

ANALYSIS
The pass rusher was a healthy scratch in Houston's regular-season finale against the Titans, though it was likely just a precaution with the Texans locked into the AFC's No. 4 seed. Anderson recorded 37 tackles (27 solo), including 11.0 sacks, two pass breakups, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in 14 regular-season games this year. He should be a full go for Houston's wild-card matchup with the Chargers on Saturday.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
No player acquisition during the Texans' offseason created the level of buzz that Anderson did. After selecting quarterback C.J. Stroud with the second overall pick in April's draft, Houston boldly traded up from 12th to third to select Anderson. At Alabama, Anderson was the type of defensive end for whom opponents needed to scheme. The two-time SEC Defensive Player of the Year winner steps immediately into an edge rusher spot for Houston, which had issues getting to the quarterback and stopping the run in 2022. Anderson should help solve the first issue.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could see sack count spike
Mike Jones of The Athletic predicts that Anderson will substantially improve on his 2023 regular-season total of seven sacks.
ANALYSIS
Anderson generated seven sacks and 22 quarterback hits in 15 regular-season games after being selected with the third overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. The edge rusher could benefit from more pass-rushing opportunities if the Texans find themselves playing from ahead more consistently in 2024 after bolstering their offense with the offseason acquisitions of wide receiver Stefon Diggs and running back Joe Mixon.
