Who Should I Start? Mark Andrews or Terrance Ferguson

Friday, December 12, 8:30 PM

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (glute) was added to the Week 15 injury report on Thursday with a glute injury and put in a limited practice. Andrews upgraded to a full practice on Friday, though, and has been cleared to play on Sunday against the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals. The 30-year-old has plenty of chemistry with quarterback Lamar Jackson, putting him on the low-end TE1 map in fantasy football most weeks, but he's caught exactly one pass for nine yards in two of the last three weeks. Isaiah Likely has become more involved in the passing game in recent weeks, too, which has made Andrews more volatile for fantasy managers. Additionally, Andrews has not scored in the last four games and has only gone over 50 receiving yards once in 2025, back on Sept. 22, when he had 91 yards and two touchdowns. The good news this week is that he'll be facing a Bengals defense that has allowed TEs to run wild this year. Andrews caught four of six targets for 47 yards in the last meeting against Cincy on Thanksgiving night.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Terrance Ferguson has an opportunity to ascend into a larger role during Sunday's Week 12 contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Ferguson has struggled to carve out a significant snap share this season, but he could make that leap this week after Tyler Higbee (ankle) was placed on injured reserve. The rookie will likely operate as the Rams' No. 2 tight end behind Colby Parkinson, primarily serving as a big-yardage threat downfield. He has five catches on 11 targets this season, and he's averaging a whopping 27.6 yards per reception. The 22-year-old hasn't produced these big catches consistently enough to warrant starting him in fantasy football, but he's inching closer to a fantasy-relevant role with Higbee now sidelined. In the short term, Ferguson ranks as the overall TE34 in RotoBaller's Week 12 fantasy rankings.
