Three wide receivers the Redskins should target in 2020 NFL free agency

The Redskins have a promising group of young receivers, but they would benefit greatly from a cost-effective veteran in the locker room.

Anderson has a chance to cash in during this upcoming free agency period, but he might be the least known pass-catcher of any free agency receiver in 2020. Like Green, that can be accredited to the circumstances around him in New York.

Since going undrafted in 2016, Anderson has been a solid threat on the outside for the Jets, hauling in 20 total touchdowns in those four years, with a distinct ability to cash in on the deep ball. If you were to consider where Anderson would fit into the Redskins offense, his ability to detract from McLaurin on the opposite side of the field would pay dividends for Scott Turner and the Redskins. Not only would Anderson benefit from defenses that focus on shutting down the rookie burner, but he would also keep secondaries in check by not allowing them to load up on one side of the field and double Terry.

While Anderson would be less of a veteran presence in the locker room, and a couple of off-the-field issues might raise a slight area of concern, there is no doubt that he could take over as the WR2 in Washington and help the offense skyrocket into success.
