Who Should I Start? Mark Andrews or Ja'Tavion Sanders

Saturday, December 6, 11:56 AM

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews is fresh off of signing a new extension and becoming the triple-crown record breaker in franchise history (receiving touchdowns, receiving yards, and receptions). While his season hasn't been as consistent in years past, Andrews sits at TE13 overall in half-PPR formats. Isaiah Likely was predicted to cut into his production even more this season, but that hasn't happened yet. Andrews will go up against the Pittsburgh Steelers defense in Week 14, which presents a strong matchup for some fantasy points. They give up 15.81 fantasy points per game and have allowed 73 catches for 765 yards and seven touchdowns (6.1 catches and 63.8 yards on average). That lends to him currently projected as TE9 for half-PPR formats on RotoBaller's rankings.

Ja'Tavion Sanders was a complete afterthought in the Panthers' passing game in Week 12. The Carolina TE caught his only target, which resulted in six yards. For the first time since Week 8, Sanders played the most snaps of all Panthers TEs at 57%. In nine games played this year, Sanders has averaged 4.7 PPR Points Per Game. Week 13 brings a decent matchup for Sanders against the Los Angeles Rams, who rank 19th in the league in Fantasy Points Per Game allowed to TEs. However, Sanders will not be able to take advantage of the draw. In 25 games played in two seasons in his NFL career, Sanders has caught one single TD pass, a prime stat that signifies why he is not on the fantasy radar for Week 13.
