Should You Start or Sit Mark Andrews in Week 2?
It was a weird game script-wise for the Ravens on Sunday night, but the fact that Mark Andrews ran 15 routes and other tight ends managed 10 is a little concerning to me with Isaiah Likely sidelined.
Are they going to manage his reps in the pass game?
I’m not suggesting that to be 100% accurate, but DeAndre Hopkins reeled in that one-handed touchdown as a part of his 12 routes while Rashod Bateman and Zay Flowers were running routes on most Lamar Jackson dropbacks.
Charlie Kolar ran nine routes, and nothing against my guy Chucky K, but Likely is a far superior pass-catching option and will demand even more usage.
On the bright side, we saw Andrews run in terms of touchdown rate last season, showing us that it’s possible in this potent offense. On the downside, any regression on that front and we aren’t looking at a top-15 player at the position, not to mention the top-5 upside that you hoped for when drafting him.
I’m not punting on him as a starter just yet, mainly because I’d never roster two tight ends, and that means I’d be recommending cutting him outright. But if we get another data point that looks like the one we got on Sunday night (5.3% target share) on top of positive news around the health of Likely, the waiver wire isn’t out of the question.
