10 WR sleepers to target for fantasy football week 1

9. Robby Anderson

Like White, Anderson has ended up at the top of his team’s depth chart due to movement around him, and he’s playing in a game his team is expected to lose — garbage time points could be a factor.

In a lost 2016 for New York, undrafted free agent Anderson on was one of the few bright spots as he started eight games, registering 42 catches, 587 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He’s a tall, slim, speedy receiver who has the ability to make a spectacular catch and get deep downfield.

Even though the team recently acquired veteran receiver Jermaine Kearse in a trade with the Seattle Seahawks, it could be Anderson who gets the call early for a couple of reasons. Firstly, he’s the player with more knowledge of the system, and comfort and familiarity with his offense and quarterback. Secondly, it’s simply because Kearse might not actually be that talented. Seattle was already thin at wideout, and were happy to move him. He’s failed to haul in more than 50 catches in any season, and hasn’t topped 700 yards either. With only 11 touchdowns in four years, he’s not proven as a red zone threat. While we don’t expect to the Jets to produce big fantasy stars, Anderson could see enough volume to be startable.
