Who Should I Start? Mark Andrews or Zay Flowers

Saturday, October 11, 10:22 AM

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews has accrued two games with seven or more fantasy points, and only one of those equated to a TE1 finish. His best game was in the Week 3 loss with Lamar Jackson (hamstring) at the helm. In his first game with Cooper Rush behind center and Isaiah Likely in the mix, Andrews posted two catches for 11 yards on three targets. Despite the fact that the Los Angeles Rams are 19th against opposing tight ends, Andrews has a major uphill battle with how abysmal this offense has looked with Rush. The veteran tight end is projected as a low-end TE2 heading into this matchup, so fantasy managers may want to look for some better options.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (shoulder), who was listed as questionable for the Week 6 game against the visiting Los Angeles Rams, is officially active for Sunday's contest. Flowers was limited in practice all week but will suit up as the Ravens look to avoid falling to 1-5 on the season. They'll have to do it without star quarterback Lamar Jackson (hamstring) for the second straight week, which won't be easy against L.A. Flowers caught all five of his targets for 72 yards in last week's blowout loss to the Houston Texans, with quarterback Cooper Rush making the start. It wasn't a bad showing for fantasy purposes, all things considered, but expecting a repeat of that performance from Flowers might be wishful thinking this weekend. He's definitely a fade candidate in DFS, and fantasy managers might want to consider benching him in regular leagues, too, as he's expected to play fewer snaps as he battles through his shoulder injury.
