Who Should I Start? Mark Andrews or Brandon Aiyuk

Saturday, December 13, 11:18 AM

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (glute) was cleared from the injury report in time for the rematch against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 15. He was only limited in Thursday's practice, and immediately was upgraded to a full participant on Friday. Andrews has struggled to deliver for his fantasy managers over the last three weeks, but a matchup with the Bengals could help. They are by far the worst team against tight ends in fantasy football as they give up 24.11 fantasy points per game, which is eight points more on average than the second-worst. One issue, however, is that Isaiah Likely has been getting more involved in recent weeks. Andrews has turned into a risky play, but he does carry TE1 potential in this matchup.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (knee) was placed on the reserve/left squad list on Saturday. This move will make Aiyuk ineligible to return and will end his season. Aiyuk has been out all season while recovering from ACL and MCL tears in his right knee, which he suffered during the 2024 season. All signs are pointing to the two sides splitting apart this offseason. The 27-year-old should draw interest on the free agent market, but he's likely taken his last snap in San Francisco. Aiyuk is worth stashing in dynasty formats, but it's unclear how this knee injury is going to impact his performance on the field in the future. He can safely be dropped in all redraft formats with his 2025 season being officially over.
