The Baltimore Ravens will host the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 13. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding TE Mark Andrews.
Is Mark Andrews Playing in Week 13?
Andrews is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Ravens’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Andrews in Week 13?
Andrews had a very catchable end zone target on Sunday against the Jets, but he couldn’t convert, and that doomed him as a touchdown-or-bust option at the position.
Sure, I could highlight his 20-12 edge in routes over Isaiah Likely, but does it matter? Both saw three targets, and you’re doing nothing but chasing a score with the 30-year-old at this point.
Over the past two seasons, he’s scored on 16 of his 88 catches, making him one of the better per-reception producers at the position, but not a role that carries much in the way of consistency.
He’s a viable option this week because of the cushy matchup and implied point total for the Ravens. That train of thought holds for the next few weeks (they get an extended week ahead of playing the Steelers next week and then go to Cincinnati in Week 15), and that makes him a reasonable stream-and-hold, but if you’re rostering him and thinking you have a “safe” option or the position figured out, I think you’re wrong.
If value opens up on the wire for any reason in your league, I wouldn’t hesitate to make the move.
