Who Should I Start? Mark Andrews or Kyle Pitts Sr.

Saturday, November 15, 7:43 AM

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews has now finished as a TE1 in each of the last two weeks while hauling in three total touchdowns. He proved last season that he could take a bad start and turn it into a heater in the second half of the year. While this could be the start to a similar run, he'll go up against a solid defensive unit in the Cleveland Browns in Week 11. They're the ninth-toughest defense against tight ends, allowing just 11.76 fantasy points per game to the position with 376 yards and five touchdowns all year. He's averaged 4.3 targets per game over the last three games, and the only other pass-catcher on the team with more is Zay Flowers. So, Andrews is projected as a borderline TE1 this week.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. is coming off a two-catch performance for 38 scoreless yards in Week 10, but despite that poor outing, the 25-year-old is still averaging over six targets and five catches for 46 yards per game this year. Unfortunately, he's recorded just one touchdown on the season, but that type of volume could eventually lead to a big week. That could be this week against the Panthers, a defense that has yielded the eighth-most half-point PPR points to opposing tight ends thus far, including five touchdowns. Hopefully the 6-foot-6 tight end doesn't drop any passes that could go for big gains like he did last week, and hopefully Michael Penix Jr.'s accuracy improves, but on his typical target volume alone, he projects as a low-end TE1 on Sunday with upside if he can fine the end zone.
