BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: TE1
ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews had a disappointing Week 1 performance. He caught just two passes (on two targets) for a mere 14 yards in their loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Andrews was overshadowed by No.2 tight end Isiah Likely who saw a hefty 12 targets and brought in nine for 111 yards and a touchdown.
While his Week 1 performance was frustrating, fantasy managers should not consider benching the 29-year-old. Andrews missed sometime late into camp after being in a car accident which could have limited his usage in the opener.
In addition, Andrews logged 53 snaps and ran 36 total routes which is a great sign for his fantasy stock in the future.

The Ravens will have a much easier matchup this week as they face the Las Vegas Raiders. The veteran tight end should have a great opportunity to get himself back on track and should be started in all leagues on Sunday.
