Should You Start or Sit Mark Andrews in Week 17?
Andrews has been a score-every-other-game guy over the past three seasons, and with a touchdown in four straight, he’s filling a very specific role in this prolific offense. In those contests, he’s been targeted on 50% of his red-zone routes, a massive spike from his 22.2% rate through the first 11 weeks of this season.
Yes, his touchdown last week was more clearly a defensive miscommunication than anything the Ravens did right but part of being fortunate is being in a position to be fortunate, right?
The Texans own the sixth-worst red-zone defense in the NFL. While I’m not willing to say that Andrews will score in every game the rest of the season, it’s clear that Todd Monken has penciled him in for a very specific — and fantasy-friendly — role.
