• Chargers' Stephen Anderson: Nets 52 yards in win

  01/04/2021 •

  Anderson caught all three of his targets for 52 yards in Sunday's 38-21 win over the Chiefs. The little-used tight end again put together a commendable performance with Hunter Henry on the reserve/COVID-19 list, nearly doubling his season total in receiving yards. A restricted free agent this offseason, it's entirely possible the Chargers could opt to bring back Anderson to pair as depth with Donald Parham, and the two could be pushed into an even more prominent role in the event the Chargers are unable to come to a long-term deal with Henry, who played the 2020 season on a franchise tag.

• Chargers' Stephen Anderson: Makes impact in win

  12/28/2020 •

  Anderson caught four of six targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 19-16 win over the Broncos. With Hunter Henry on the COVID-19 list, Anderson emerged as a surprising threat at tight end, with his 23-yard catch-and-run in the third quarter helping to set up a field goal. The 27-year-old had only two targets all season coming into Sunday, but if Henry is forced to miss the Chargers' finale as well, Anderson might be productive again in Week 17 against a Kansas City team that could be resting key personnel after clinching the AFC's No. 1 seed.
