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.

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.
