Dynasty Watch: Pre-Draft Rookie Top 100
March 25, 2020
In this update to the rookie dynasty rankings, we up the field to 100 players. Grouped by tiers, this is a comprehensive list of this year's top dynasty prospects.
Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
Jonathan Taylor, Marlon Mack, Nyheim Hines and Jordan Wilkins currently are ahead of Anderson on the Colts' running back depth chart, so the TCU product isn't guaranteed a roster spot out of the gate this season. If he doesn't survive roster cuts, the 5-11, 195-pounder could resurface on Indy's practice squad, where he spent most of last season.
As a senior at TCU, Anderson split touches with Sewo Olonilua, and both players wound up as UDFAs in Dallas. Anderson has the vision, burst and receiving skills to potentially earn a depth role in an NFL backfield, but gameday snaps on offense will be hard to come by behind Ezekiel Elliott.
