Courtney

Anderson

Anderson was second on the Raiders with three receptions Sunday and is an excellent blocker.

The surprising seventh-rounder is a candidate for injured reserve. He should have a role with the Raiders for a while, though.

No major surprises or fantasy implications here.

Rodgers added that no one from the Packers called to reassure him a deal isn’t going down. By almost all accounts, the organization has been discussing acquiring Moss for awhile. This trade seems far from dead.

Anderson is an athlete with great size (6'6/270), but has never been able to put it all together. He’ll battle for a couple of roster spots with Teyo Johnson, Tim Massaquoi, Derek Schouman, and maybe a rookie behind Robert Royal.

He finished with three catches for 18 yards. Anderson is a multi-dimensional tight end who reminds us a little of Bubba Franks. The 2004 seventh-rounder showed nice promise last season before an injury. You could do worse with a TE2 in fantasy leagues.

Anderson only 193 career yards 11 games before today. That said, he’s put in two good weeks out of three this season. If you are need of tight end help, he’s worth a shot.

Miller starting was anticipated. Courtney Anderson is unlikely to make the club because of a $1 million escalator, while Randal Williams is battling.

Courtney Anderson and Randal Williams shouldn’t pose much of a starting challenge for Miller, whose all-around game is arguably better and more NFL ready than the more highly-touted Greg Olsen because of his blocking skills. Miller will be someone to keep an eye on in fantasy leagues, but won’t be worth drafting this year.
