Anderson is in line to start Sunday's game against San Francisco after the Texans placed C.J. Fiedorowicz (concussion) on injured reserve Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Fiedorowicz joined Ryan Griffin (concussion) on IR, leaving Anderson on tap to handle the bulk of the snaps at tight end for the team's final four games of the season. The second-year player turned a career-high 12 targets in the Week 13 loss to the Titans into five catches for 79 yards and a touchdown. A wide receiver during his college days at California, Anderson has the athleticism to offer a major impact in the passing game for Houston, especially with the team's depth at receiver also depleted by injuries.
