Who Should I Start? Mark Andrews or Jake Ferguson

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.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson (calf) is officially available for Sunday night's match against the Minnesota Vikings. The top tight end carried a questionable tag on Friday's final injury report. On Thursday, he was unable to practice but returned on Friday in a limited capacity. However, he was able to progress enough to suit up. After a hot start to the season, when he averaged an impressive 17.2 PPR points per game over the first seven weeks, Ferguson has seen his production take a massive step back, averaging just 8.7 PPR points from Weeks 8 through 14. This evening, he will face a Minnesota secondary that has allowed the 16th-most PPR points to opposing TEs this season. He projects to be a low-end TE1 in standard formats and is a viable play in DFS showdown slates.
