Should You Start or Sit Mark Andrews in Week 5?
Mark Andrews is the personification of the Facebook Relationship status of “it’s complicated” and you can’t sell me on anything different.
In Weeks 1-2, he caught two of four targets and looked lost. Since, he’s pulled in 13 of 14 and looks featured. But should he be?
Andrews averaged a touch over two feet after the catch per reception last weekend against the Chiefs, and it’s clear that he’s on the wrong side of the age curve when it comes to making plays with the ball in his hands.
Pair that with the return, albeit a muted one, of Isaiah Likely, and it’s hard to see this recent volume surge sustaining.
As if a looming tight end committee in a run-centric offense wasn’t enough to consider, what do you say we throw in a hamstring injury to one of the most dynamic quarterbacks in the game?
This is a difficult matchup, and had Likely been looked at in the passing game last week, Andrews would be outside of my top 15 at the position this week.
As it is, he’s sitting at TE12, but on awfully thin ice for the remainder of this season.
