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

Saturday, September 13, 12:05 AM

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews had only one catch for five yards in the upset loss to the Bills. While that statistical line was disappointing, his one target was even more troubling for fantasy managers. Fresh off a loss, Baltimore will look to pick up a win over the Browns in Week 2. Andrews has played extremely well versus Cleveland throughout his career (14 games), totaling 59 catches for 755 yards and 11 touchdowns. Still, after a disastrous Week 1 effort, he's hard to trust, especially with so many options on the offensive side of the ball for the Ravens. Without question, Andrews can get hot, so there's rarely a time when he isn't featured in a fantasy lineup. However, there is some risk involved, which is something fantasy managers need to consider.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. (toe) was added to the injury report on Thursday due to a toe injury. Fantasy managers should keep a close eye on his status on Friday, as Pitts was a full participant on Wednesday. If Pitts is unable to log a full session on Friday, he may carry a designation into the weekend. Pitts has enjoyed a solid start to the campaign, catching 11 of his 13 targets for 96 yards. This is an excellent sign as Pitts caught just 47 passes for 602 yards in 2024, which were both the second-lowest marks of his career. If Pitts were to sit out on Sunday when the Falcons face the Carolina Panthers, fantasy managers should expect more targets to go to wide receivers Drake London and Darnell Mooney.
