Who Should I Start? Mark Andrews or Marquise Brown

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.

Heading into Week 2, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown was a popular waiver-wire target following his 16-target, 10-catch performance in Week 1. Even with top Chiefs wideouts Xavier Worthy (shoulder) and Rashee Rice (suspension) sidelined in Week 2, Brown was not nearly as prolific against the Philadelphia Eagles, finishing with five receptions for 30 yards. Early indications are that Worthy could return for Kansas City's Week 3 matchup against the New York Giants, which could limit Brown's target volume even further. Still, the 28-year-old looks like the Chiefs' clear WR2 until Rice is eligible to return in Week 7. Brown profiles as a WR4/low-end flex option in Week 3, although his outlook would improve if Worthy misses another game.
