Who Should I Start? Mark Andrews or Mason Taylor

Saturday, November 8, 9:54 AM

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews finally broke through for a top-five finish at the position in Week 9 with two touchdowns against the Miami Dolphins. The Ravens' offense looks like it's already back on track with Lamar Jackson under center, but Andrews didn't particularly see a ton of targets in that Thursday night blowout. In fact, Isaiah Likely saw one more target and gained 38 more yards, but Andrews cashed in on the touchdowns. While the Minnesota Vikings present a favorable matchup, the uncertainty of Andrews' involvement is always the biggest risk. He projects as a borderline TE1 this week, but he's not exactly a surefire start like he has been in years past.

New York Jets tight end Mason Taylor was a disappointment in Week 10's win against the Cleveland Browns, hauling in 1-of-2 targets for a gain of four yards. Heading into the team's bye, the rookie had garnered five or more targets in five of six games. In fact, he recorded his second-highest target total of the season the week prior (eight). However, Taylor has followed 8- and 12-target outings with one-catch, single-digit yardage output. Naturally, the 21-year-old is experiencing NFL growing pains, although a struggling Jets' offense hasn't been an ecosystem conducive to success. With wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) facing an extended absence, it stands to reason that Taylor would absorb a higher target share. On the other hand, there's no guarantee New York won't again deploy a run-heavy attack. Taylor is a low-end streaming option, and, officially, RotoBaller's PPR TE26 for his week 11 matchup with a staunch New England Patriots' defense.
