Who Should I Start? Mark Andrews or Rhamondre Stevenson

Saturday, December 21, 9:58 PM

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews brought in 4-of-6 targets for 37 yards and a touchdown in his team's 34-17 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The seventh-year veteran again put together a low yardage total but saved his day with another TD -- his fourth game in a row crossing the goal line. While his reception target and yardage output were mediocre, they were good enough for second on the team to wide receiver Zay Flowers. With the Ravens' rushing attack leading the way in this one, quarterback Lamar Jackson need only attempt 23 passes. Still, a 26.1% target share is nothing to scoff at, and Andrews has been a monster in the red zone, converting 11 of his team-leading 13 red area targets for all nine of his scores. He'll get a tough draw on Christmas Day against the Houston Texans on the road.

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson could have an opportunity to demonstrate his pass-catching upside during Sunday's Week 16 game against the Buffalo Bills. New England faces Buffalo two times over the next three weeks, and this Sunday's contest could set the tone for Stevenson to win back some of the opportunities that he has ceded to Antonio Gibson lately. While Buffalo has been solid against the run, they're porous against pass-catching running backs. In fact, the Bills have allowed the most catches, most receiving yards, and second-most receiving touchdowns to opposing running backs in 2024. That bodes well for Stevenson, who has multiple catches in nine of his 13 games this season. He has caught an impressive 32 of 39 passes thrown his way this year, which is a higher total than Gibson, his backfield-mate. Touchdown opportunities have been limited for Stevenson this year, which means his fantasy managers need him to catch passes to produce points. There's no better matchup than the Bills for this to happen. As a result, he ranks as a high-end RB3 in most leagues as the fantasy playoffs carry on.
