BALLER MOVE: Bench Andrews outside of TE premium formats
POSITIONAL VALUE: TE2
ANALYSIS: It's been a rough go for Mark Andrews' fantasy managers in 2024. He failed to score double-digit fantasy points through the first five weeks and was held scoreless in Weeks 3 and 4.
However, the talented tight end from Oklahoma saw four targets in Week 6 to finish with three receptions for 66 yards and a touchdown.
Many have begun to wonder if Andrews at age 29 is now washed, but it's likely more of a combination of him still recovering from his broken fibula to end 2023, suffering a car accident right before the season, the emergence of Isaiah Likely, and the Ravens offense featuring Derrick Henry more.
Bucs quarterback Baker Mayfield calls best friend and former OU teammate Mark Andrews (whom he’ll see Monday night) a “weirdo” and says “he can’t exactly separate friendship and football.” He also believes “he’s changed” because he “has a very serious girlfriend.” 😂😂😂 pic.twitter.com/LFpLBA2irE

This week sets up as a sweet spot for Andrews in fantasy. Tampa Bay sits middle of the pack, 16th in fantasy points per game allowed to tight ends, but they’ve given up the fourth-most receiving yards to the position.
It seems like the perfect storm for Andrews to have a standout performance, but if you would prefer to wait and see, that's completely understandable.
