Who Should I Start? Mark Andrews or Devaughn Vele

Saturday, December 21, 9:58 PM

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews brought in 4-of-6 targets for 37 yards and a touchdown in his team's 34-17 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The seventh-year veteran again put together a low yardage total but saved his day with another TD -- his fourth game in a row crossing the goal line. While his reception target and yardage output were mediocre, they were good enough for second on the team to wide receiver Zay Flowers. With the Ravens' rushing attack leading the way in this one, quarterback Lamar Jackson need only attempt 23 passes. Still, a 26.1% target share is nothing to scoff at, and Andrews has been a monster in the red zone, converting 11 of his team-leading 13 red area targets for all nine of his scores. He'll get a tough draw on Christmas Day against the Houston Texans on the road.

Denver Broncos rookie seventh-round wide receiver Devaughn Vele found the end zone for just the second time in his NFL career in Thursday night's loss to the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers in Week 16, but he didn't contribute much else. Vele was targeted only three times on the night and caught two passes for 21 yards and an easy six-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter. The 27-year-old built steam in Weeks 10-12, catching 14 passes for 185 yards and a touchdown, but in three games since then, he has only three catches on eight targets for 37 yards and one score. Although the Broncos' passing game will be set up nicely against a porous Cincinnati Bengals defense in Week 17 as they look to clinch a playoff spot, Vele will still be a hard-to-trust WR4/5 in deeper fantasy leagues with limited upside as Nix continues to spread the ball around outside out WR1 Courtland Sutton.
