Rodney Anderson Injures Knee In Preseason Finale
5 years agoCincinnati Bengals running back Rodney Anderson played during the preseason finale against the Colts, but he injured his right knee early on, causing him to miss most of the game. Anderson's injury means that Giovani Bernard has further solidified his role as Joe Mixon’s handcuff while also offering some standalone value in deeper leagues. With Mixon and Bernard locked into roles in the Bengals backfield, it appears Trayveon Williams has cemented himself as the Bengals third-string running back. Damion Willis, who will be starting at wide receiver while A.J. Green (ankle) is injured, did not play in the Bengals preseason finale against the Colts, which further demonstrates that the Bengals must truly believe that they have a budding star on their hands who could have a legitimate role in their offense. Willis could be a true sleeper in your upcoming fantasy drafts, and his ranking should be elevated in dynasty leagues. Although Willis has a strong outlook early on and has some dynasty potential, his 2019 ceiling is capped because his role will be unknown once Green returns to action.
