Is it time to cut Mark Andrews?

"It'll take a miracle."

Fantasy Pros still has Adams as their WR8 for week 4. It's kinda like they aren't even trying anymore

4 weeks in - so many injuries it's pathetic. ..... ... I still go back to my lack of practice, conditioning and contact during the off-season as a prime reasoning for it. .... if nothing else it would weed out the weak and preserve the strong before the season.

Week 5 the byes kick in, oh what fun that will be.

ravens will need a lot of him against buffalo.

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

Late to the party, but I wouldn't pull the plug this quickly unless I absolutely had to. I would bench the hell out of him, though, if I could, but not cut him.

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.

So you don’t have to start a TE? In that case my advice wouldn’t apply.

No. I have to start a TE.
My point was with as terrible as TE have been performing, its almost as meaningless as a WR3 or WR4 from a fantasy points perspective.

My point is if everyone has to start one and they’re mostly getting 5 or 6 ff pts a game, and you get 10 or 12, that’s a big advantage. I’d hold out because I think that’s coming for Andrews.

I never chimed in..I had intended to, but never got around to it.

Cut? No
Bench, yes.

If you don't have the room to carry two, than yes, i think a cut isn't out of the question

 

[averagejoe]

Who had Tucker Kraft on their radar?

That would be me.
The same me who took Kraft out to give Mark Andrews another start.

I have to give credit to Rotowire with respect to Kraft. They were comparing snap% and targets between Kraft and Musgrave... it was Rotowire via the Sleeper app who tipped me off that Kraft's usage was steadily increasing over the first 3 weeks.

Not sure if it will stay that way but i am glad i added Kraft in both of my dynasty leagues.

Andrews looks like the blocking TE in a run first, run second offense.

If he doesn’t start getting more targets soon you might have to cut him.

Likely is the pass catching TE in that offense and his weekly role looks far from certain.

 

[Shanemansj13]

34 rushing attempts
24 by Henry
6 by Lamar
4 by Hill

18 pass attempts
Hill - 6 targets
Agholor - 3 targets
Henry - 3 targets
Flowers - 2 targets
Likely - 2 targets
Bateman - 1 target
Andrews - 0 TARGETS

Of course they were up big early so this isn’t the total season outline so far. Prettt mind blowing. I know they added Henry to the running game which is huge but just crazy he can go from a top TE to basically an offensive lineman

He got at least 1

Had a brutal drop in the first half

Maybe that was the target they didn’t list. They listed 17 of 18 for some reason but he isn’t listed on the stat sheet

Looks like he finally finished his rehab around the start of the fourth quarter.

 

[Schmoopy1000]

Well I finally benched him this week as I was able to pick up Kraft Sunday Morning.
What a pleasant upgrade that was!

Funny thing was. Andrews played in the morning game & I was like. "Oh now you start catching passes!" LOL
