Anderson produced an assist, two shots on goal, a plus-3 rating and five blocked shots in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson snapped his eight-game point drought with the helper. The 24-year-old looked to have taken a step forward early in the season, but it's safe to say he's back to being a defense-first -- and often defense-only -- contributor. The blueliner has 10 points, 40 shots on net, 44 hits, 61 blocked shots and a plus-15 rating over 30 outings on the top pairing.

Anderson logged an assist, two shots on goal, two hits, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was limited to just a single assist over 11 contests in November, a mark he's already matched one game into December. The 24-year-old defenseman had a strong start to the campaign on offense, but his mainly defensive role meant that was unlikely to last, as evidenced by his rapid cool-down. He's at nine points, 26 shots on net, 36 hits, 39 blocked shots and a plus-12 rating through 21 outings. Anderson still has a good chance to top his career high of 20 points from last season.

Anderson registered an assist, two hits and three blocked shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson ended his four-game point drought when he set up an Adrian Kempe goal midway through the contest. His hot start to 2023-24 was always going to be unsustainable, but Anderson has clearly made some improvements to get involved with scoring plays more frequently. He's at one goal, seven helpers, 14 shots on net, 21 hits, 22 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 13 outings overall.

Anderson scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Friday's 5-4 win over the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson continues to step up his game on offense -- he's gotten on the scoresheet in five of seven contests so far. He tallied in the first period and then helped out on Drew Doughty's game-winner in the third Friday. Anderson has a goal, five assists, seven shots on net, 15 hits, seven blocked shots and a plus-4 rating to begin 2023-24. While it's likely unsustainable, his physical play makes him an option for fantasy managers looking for a short-term boost.

Anderson logged an assist, two hits and a plus-3 rating in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson has quietly produced strong offense early on with four helpers through six games. He helped out on a Trevor Moore tally in the first period of Tuesday's contest. Anderson hasn't lost his physical edge either, racking up 14 hits, six blocked shots and four PIM with a plus-3 rating this season. His top-pairing role guarantees he'll have plenty of ice time, but it's unusual for the 24-year-old to be this productive with it.

Anderson recorded an assist, two hits and two PIM in Saturday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson helped out on Drew Doughty's first-period tally. Those two defensemen compose the Kings' top pairing, but Anderson's role remains that of a stay-at-home defender, as it has for years. In 2022-23, he produced a career-high 20 points with 162 hits and 129 blocked shots in 77 outings. The physicality gives Anderson some appeal in deeper formats, but his offense alone won't be very useful in fantasy.

Anderson notched an assist and three hits in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Oilers in Game 2.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson went without a point in his last six games and also missed five contests with an undisclosed injury in that span. The defenseman had the secondary helper on Phillip Danault's tally in the second period. Anderson is a defensive presence first and foremost, though he sees big minutes alongside Drew Doughty on the top pairing. Anderson had 20 points, 90 shots on net, 162 hits, 129 blocked shots and a plus-20 rating in 77 regular-season outings this season.
