Who Should I Start? Mark Andrews or Brenton Strange

Saturday, December 6, 11:56 AM

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews is fresh off of signing a new extension and becoming the triple-crown record breaker in franchise history (receiving touchdowns, receiving yards, and receptions). While his season hasn't been as consistent in years past, Andrews sits at TE13 overall in half-PPR formats. Isaiah Likely was predicted to cut into his production even more this season, but that hasn't happened yet. Andrews will go up against the Pittsburgh Steelers defense in Week 14, which presents a strong matchup for some fantasy points. They give up 15.81 fantasy points per game and have allowed 73 catches for 765 yards and seven touchdowns (6.1 catches and 63.8 yards on average). That lends to him currently projected as TE9 for half-PPR formats on RotoBaller's rankings.

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange could churn out just 27 yards on 3-of-6 receiving in Sunday's 36-19 home win over the Indianapolis Colts. Strange took a slight step back in the yardage department this past weekend, but was still decently involved in Jacksonville's game plan, tying two other pass-catchers for second on the team with his opportunity share. Fantasy managers may quibble with the Penn State product's meager output. However, he's been decently involved all year, quietly ranking third on the team in receiving yards (369) despite missing five complete games. The Jaguars' pass attack features a few too many mouths to feed, but only WR Jakobi Meyers appears to be separating from the rest of the pack. Fantasy managers with tight end trouble can look to the 24-year-old as a strong option at the position, especially if teammate Parker Washington (hip) is inactive for a second straight game.
