Mark Andrews, Keon Coleman, Isaiah Likely: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 4

Baltimore Ravens tight ends Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely and Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman are all players on the start/sit bubble in Week 4. All have been inconsistent players, and fantasy managers are probably looking for guidance on which ones could have the best game in 2024.

It's been a strange start to the season, especially for the Ravens. The arrival of running back Derrick Henry has shaken up the Ravens' offense and allowed offensive coordinator Todd Monken to implement a game script dominated by the run reminiscent of World War II-era ground-and-pound football.

Meanwhile, the Bills offense is red hot, and Bills quarterback Josh Allen is starting what could shape up to be an MVP campaign. Should fantasy managers start Mark Andrews, Keon Coleman, or Isaiah Likely in Week 4? Let's dive in.

Should I Start Mark Andrews for Fantasy Football?

It's been an odd season for Mandrews. While he entered the season as the Ravens' unquestioned No. 1 tight end, and he's still an excellent receiver of the football, Andrews has been relegated to a rotational role with Likely. Andrews' goose egg in Week 3 against the Cowboys is fresh in the mind of fantasy managers.

For those wondering about Mark Andrews, he ranks 7th in the league in separation %, per @PFF.

So Andrews is still good as a receiver, not just a blocker. And he's separating at an elite level. So... why aren't the Ravens throwing him the ball? For starters, King Henry is part of the reason. Against the Cowboys, the Ravens only threw the ball 15 times because they didn't need to throw it a lot.

Though Andrews expressed confidence that his time is coming, in a game where the Ravens can run the ball at will and aren't worried about the opponent scoring a lot, we may see more blanks from Andrews. This puts fantasy managers in a tough bind. That said, they face the elite Bills offense this week.

Andrews is still a start for fantasy managers who drafted him. But he probably won't meet his ADP considering the Ravens will inevitably face more teams with terrible offenses. In games where the Ravens are favored to win massively, it's hard to trust Andrews.

He's the TE13 in our half-PPR consensus staff rankings.

Should I Start Keon Coleman for Fantasy Football?

Coleman had his first touchdown of the season in Week 3 but had just one catch in the game. Coleman hasn't been a big part of the offense. He looked to be on track to being a full-time starter after Week 1, where he was targeted five times, but he was blanked in Week 2.

Bills WR Keon Coleman was benched for the first few drives after being late to team meetings last week, per head coach Sean McDermott. Coleman came in about 20 minutes into the game, made an immediate impact with a touchdown, but was otherwise invisible for the rest of the game.… pic.twitter.com/GOv0oMGWbm

Part of the reason he had so little volume in Week 3 was due to the fact he was benched for a disciplinary issue. This is never a good thing for rookie receivers. Between that and the Bills' tendency to be run-first and spread the ball around to many different pass-catchers, it's hard to trust Coleman. He shouldn't be started in fantasy yet.

He's the WR60 in our half-PPR consensus staff rankings.

Should I Start Isaiah Likely for Fantasy Football?

Probably not. After a prominent role and a "breakout" game in Week 1, Likely proceeded to pull a Mandrews on his fantasy managers and do nothing. The Ravens don't exactly have a great passing attack, nor do they need to in some games. Likely had just one catch for four yards in Week 3.

Fantasy football owners don't like that Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely combined for 1 catch for 4 yards on 2 targets.

In some games, the Ravens will just have two blocking tight ends, as much as it hurts for fantasy managers.

He's the TE9 in our half-PPR consensus staff rankings.
