The Baltimore Ravens (2-5) will visit the Miami Dolphins (2-6) in Week 9. 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 Andrews Playing in Week 9?

Should You Start or Sit Andrews in Week 9?
It goes without saying that the return of Lamar Jackson could give us clarity on this situation, but if we are operating that, coming out of the bye, this team had a firm plan for usage rate, then we are in trouble.
- Isaiah Likely: 34 snaps, 16 routes, 2 targets, 1 red zone touch
- Mark Andrews: 34 snaps, 15 routes, 3 targets, 1 red zone touch
Either you think that this offense, one that is traditionally run-heavy, can support two TEs, or they have zero.
I lean the latter, if for no other reason than most teams have a hard time giving us one tight end to trust weekly, and that asking a team with Derrick Henry to give us two feels a bit optimistic.
If you’re piecing together the position, both Andrews and Likely are viable, but neither is bulletproof. I’ve got Andrews ranked two spots higher based solely on his recent resume of being a threat in scoring position.
