Who Should I Start? Jonnu Smith or Mark Andrews

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Jonnu Smith had his worst showing of the season in Week 10 and will hope to be more involved against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 11. This matchup is as good as it gets for fantasy tight ends, as the Bengals have surrendered the most fantasy points, the most yards, and the most touchdowns to the position this season. When these division rivals met in Week 7, all three of Smith, Pat Freiermuth, and Darnell Washington found the end zone in a shootout. With Sunday's contest once again expected to be high-scoring, Smith could see additional looks from quarterback Aaron Rodgers as both offenses fight to keep pace. His floor remains extremely low, but fantasy managers can consider Smith as a streaming option with a fair amount of touchdown upside this week.

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews has now finished as a TE1 in each of the last two weeks while hauling in three total touchdowns. He proved last season that he could take a bad start and turn it into a heater in the second half of the year. While this could be the start to a similar run, he'll go up against a solid defensive unit in the Cleveland Browns in Week 11. They're the ninth-toughest defense against tight ends, allowing just 11.76 fantasy points per game to the position with 376 yards and five touchdowns all year. He's averaged 4.3 targets per game over the last three games, and the only other pass-catcher on the team with more is Zay Flowers. So, Andrews is projected as a borderline TE1 this week.
