Who Should I Start? Mark Andrews or Dawson Knox

Monday, August 25, 3:19 PM

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (undisclosed) is missing a second straight practice on Monday but was seen working on a side field, according to Jamison Hensley of ESPN. Andrews was running routes and sprints for about half the field with a trainer. The Ravens haven't specified exactly what Andrews is dealing with, but it sounds minor, and he should be just fine for Week 1 against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, Sept. 7. However, with Isaiah Likely (ankle, foot) up in the air to be ready for the start of the regular season, Andrews' health is worth watching even more closely. If neither Andrews or Likely are ready for Week 1 against Buffalo, Charlie Kolar would be the next tight end up. The 29-year-old Andrews is in a contract year and is looking to make up for his crucial fumble and dropped pass in the postseason loss. Andrews is still a midrange TE1 target for fantasy managers.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox (hamstring) returned to the practice field on Thursday. Knox landed on the active/non-football injury list to begin training camp with a hamstring injury but was activated by the team on Sunday. In 16 games last season, Knox caught 22 passes for 311 yards and one touchdown. The 28-year-old is a key piece for a Buffalo offense that likes to feature multiple-tight end formations, but Knox is clearly behind fellow tight end Dalton Kincaid as a receiver. Unless there's an injury to Kincaid, Knox is unlikely to factor in fantasy during the 2025 season.
