Is it time to cut Mark Andrews?

[averagejoe]

I own him in dynasty but this league has short benches (7) and taxi (4 spots) is locked until the offseason.

New OC in Baltimore doesnt seem too concerned in using him.

Tried trading him but no one is biting (understandably). Could use the active roster spot.

I personally dont see this lack of usage as a fluke. Think it is here to stay with a few good weeks to give false hope.

well, we need more information...

do you need to start a TE??

who would be your TE or Flex playing instead of him??

i still think he will be a top 10 TE... so i wouldnt get rid of him... even with short benches... i mean, you have until the bye weeks until you really need to make moves...

 

[Shanemansj13]

In a redraft it is a no-brainer imo but in a dynasty I would not cut him just yet. Maybe him a couple more weeks unless there is a guy on the WW that you can't miss out on...in that case, that might be your best option. I don't own him in any leagues but I wouldn't cut bait just yet. He is in dangerous territory though

Go with your gut - but only if there are better options available - hard to imagine that there is in the TE wastelands.

Yeah his usage been bad, but similar to other name TE's around the league.

Targets by week:

Andrews: 2 5 1
Kelce : 4 3 5
LaPorta : 5 3 2

Cutting him depends on who is available I guess. TE position been extra bad this season.

 

[wilwhite]

The position is terrible right now, which means Andrews reasserting himself could put you way ahead at that position. I'd hold on to him.

 

[SmokingMonkey]

Wasn't he in a car accident during preseason and missed a week of practices leading up to reg season?

Week 1: KC took him away and left Likely open
Week 2: ravens played with lead until very end when LV came back to win
Week 3: ravens had early 2-3 score lead on DAL, LJax only had FIFTEEN pass att

I think you're a bit premature on cutting him, but like others mentioned - who you start instead and who you pick up matter very much for dynasty advice

Well it's not that simple Milk. I have Kraft (GB) in reserve. But I also need the bench space to move up Shakir from the taxi squad in case Davante Adams cant go.

You have to understand that in my mind even a decent TE is only as good as a WR3 or WR4, so to me it makes no sense to hang on to a guy that is only going to get me a couple points a week and is trending down. Maybe for good, especially with Likely on the same team.

Right now the 12th-best TE is as good as a WR Tyler Johnson or a Darius Slayton or Tutu Atwell or Romeo Doubs. No one is gonna lose sleep over a TE13 or lower.

And i do like Kraft's upside particularly if Love returns.

Kraft targets 3 2 3. I get he's young but there is Musgrave competing with him and the Packers have a outstanding WR corp with a slew of promising WRs and for my money I doubt the TE position on the Packers ever really matters.

True. It is a concern. But Kraft's snap % has been better than Musgrave. I'm not married to Kraft long term.

To me, with the short benches and available TE, i can stream a TE the rest of the season.

Well the short bench is motivation to not stock a back up TE period, think you said 7 man bench, which for dynasty is really short and closer to a redraft league.

This may seem dumb in dynasty but is Ertz available ? As a streamer, he's as good as anyone - for this yr anyway. ..

Adams is out, move Shakir up and cut Andrews if he's the lowest guy on your chopping block

 

[averagejoe]

Ertz is gone.

Thanks Jeff.
Well this upsets me for another reason. Just paid $205 for Adams in Guillotine and now i cant use him.

This is shaping up like a tough week at WR/TE

Nico and Tank banged up, Olave hammy, Diontae groin
Engram and McBride already ruled out

Thanks to everyone who contributed. You convinced me to not be so quick to dismiss Andrews.

​

That was a close call for me as you just barely nipped me on the bid. If it makes you feel any better I have Adams in D2 and playing you so that helps you in theory.

I had Cooper before aquiring Adams, but i think he's questionable. And even if he plays, no way does he catch 2 TD again.

This season is shaping up to be like Miracle Max in Princess Bride.... "why dont you just give me a papercut and pour lemon juice in it."
