Who Should I Start? Mark Andrews or Chig Okonkwo

After recording just two catches over the first two weeks of the season, Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews has 13 receptions for 121 yards and two touchdowns across his last two games. Unfortunately for Andrews, he'll be catching passes from backup quarterback Cooper Rush instead of Lamar Jackson (hamstring), who will miss Week 5 with a hamstring injury. The Ravens also have a tough matchup against the Houston Texans, whose defense has allowed the seventh-fewest passing yards (790) and second-fewest number of passing touchdowns (three) in the NFL. Finally, there's the possibility that Andrews will lose playing time with Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely getting closer to full strength after missing the first three weeks of the season. In Likely's first game in the lineup in Week 4, Andrews played 56% of Baltimore's offensive snaps after playing at least 75% of the snaps in each of the first three weeks. Andrews should be avoided by fantasy managers in Week 5.

Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo posted a dud during last week's loss to the Houston Texans. He hauled in one of his three targets for four yards in the blowout defeat. This was a frustrating performance after Okonkwo hauled in five receptions for 66 yards in Week 3. The 26-year-old is still building chemistry with quarterback Cam Ward early in the season. This whole offensive unit has been struggling early in the season. The hope is that Okonkwo bounces back during the upcoming Week 5 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. He shouldn't be viewed as anything more than a TE2.
