Who Should I Start? Mark Andrews or Harold Fannin Jr.

Friday, December 26, 11:01 AM

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews hasn't been kind to any fantasy managers that have decided to play him through the fantasy playoffs thus far. The veteran hasn't posted a finish in TE1 territory since Week 11 in half-PPR formats. His Week 17 matchup doesn't make it any easier either, since the Green Bay Packers are ranked eighth against the position over the last four weeks. They only allow 8.65 fantasy points per game to tight ends, and Andrews will more than likely have Tyler Huntley under center, who has targeted Zay Flowers more often. In RotoBaller's projections for Week 17, Andrews is the TE21, which would be a tough start for fantasy managers who are in their championship game.

Cleveland Browns rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr. (groin) has officially been ruled out for the Week 18 regular-season finale on Sunday against the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals, according to Scott Petrak of Browns Zone. Fannin injured his groin on a touchdown reception in last week's upset win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 21-year-old was unable to practice all week and will miss the final game of what has been an exceptional first year in the NFL. Despite the presence of David Njoku (knee), who will also miss Week 18, Fannin led the Browns in catches (72), targets (107), receiving yards (731), and touchdowns (six). Fannin has a bright future ahead of him as a pass-catching TE, and he'll be on the TE1 radar in fantasy drafts in the fall. Blake Whiteheart, Brenden Bates, and Sal Cannella will form a TE committee for the Browns in Week 18.
