Who Should I Start? Mark Andrews or Dallas Goedert

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.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert keeps managers guessing as he registered one of his best performances of the season last week against the Chargers. After a frustrating four-week stretch, Goedert racked up eight receptions for 78 yards on 10 targets against Los Angeles, all of which would be season highs if not for his Week 6 game against the Giants. This upcoming Sunday, the eight-year veteran will face off against the Raiders, who allow the fourth-least amount of fantasy points to his position. The last time Las Vegas let an opposing tight end record more than 50 receiving yards was eight weeks ago when Travis Kelce had 54. Goedert is the definition of a boom-or-bust player, so this week comes down to a toss-up decision: do managers ride the momentum of last week's Goedert, or do they see the tight end trend against the Raiders and hold off? He's a risky start for fantasy playoffs, and should be seen as a fine TE2 for Week 15.
