Who Should I Start? Mark Andrews or Tyler Conklin

Saturday, November 15, 7:43 AM

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews has now finished as a TE1 in each of the last two weeks while hauling in three total touchdowns. He proved last season that he could take a bad start and turn it into a heater in the second half of the year. While this could be the start to a similar run, he'll go up against a solid defensive unit in the Cleveland Browns in Week 11. They're the ninth-toughest defense against tight ends, allowing just 11.76 fantasy points per game to the position with 376 yards and five touchdowns all year. He's averaged 4.3 targets per game over the last three games, and the only other pass-catcher on the team with more is Zay Flowers. So, Andrews is projected as a borderline TE1 this week.

Former New York Jets tight end Tyler Conklin reached an agreement on an undisclosed one-year deal on Friday with the Los Angeles Chargers, according to his agent, Mike McCartney. Conklin heads to the AFC West after spending the last three years with the Jets, where he had 170 catches on 246 targets for 1,622 yards and seven touchdowns in 50 games (43 starts). While the 29-year-old did have a career-high four touchdowns in 16 games (15 starts) last year, he had just 51 catches and 449 yards (his lowest total since 2020) on 72 targets. The former fifth-round selection (157th overall) by the Minnesota Vikings in 2018 out of Central Michigan has the opportunity to be the Chargers' top pass-catching tight end in 2025, but he'll also be sharing playing time with Will Dissly. Dissly had a very similar 50-481-2 line to Conklin a year ago in L.A. Expect Conklin to be a touchdown-dependent TE2 in fantasy in his new home.
