Productive second season in Houston
Anderson finished the 2024 regular season with 37 total tackles (27 solo), including 11.0 sacks, while also adding two passes defensed, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery across 14 games.
ANALYSIS
Anderson took a step up in sack production in his second year in the NFL, increasing his output from 7.0 as a rookie in 2023 to 11.0 in 2024. The 23-year-old was also able to record his first forced fumble and first fumble recovery this season. Anderson appears to be trending toward being one of the more significant pass rushers in the league ahead of 2025.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
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.

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.
