What's his worth now in a te premium league? After injury and before draft? Having trouble gauging his worth. Insights welcome.
In FFPC Superflex (Triflex), I traded Andrews and the 2.08 for McBride. In 1 QB, I suppose that pick would be early second.
In FFPC startups, he's going as TE6, between Pitts and Hockenson.
I attempted to answer the Andrews value in an another thread earlier today.
A few weeks ago I saw a podcast from another draft/fantasy site doing an FFPC specific TE dynasty ranking. Had never listened to that podcast, but this was right up my alley so I gave it a go. I can't say I agreed much with their rankings but it mainly seemed that was due to they view things in that shorter window and hold a TE being 29-30 as not being much of a value loss vs one 5+ years younger and that's where I view things differently. I want to say they had Andrews #3, began discussing him as soon as TE2. Could tell they were not firm on the group in the 2-7 range.
Last week a buddy of mine sent me a trade value chart from another fantasy site and told me it was the best trade value chart he'd seen, this one did TEP. I looked it over, was a solid chart as they go for sure, they had Andrews tied at TE3, with McBride.
I don't agree with either of those and find myself in exact alignment with FFPC startup consensus, I'd have him as my TE6. I'd just add for me it's a tier drop down from TE5. It's sort of like Laporta as TE1 to me and probably the whole wide word, and then really close sorting out TE 2-4 among McBride, Kincaid, Pitts and Bowers. Would be very easy to see any of those 4 from that next tier as TE1 this time next year, but Laporta's combo of youth and having already done it wins out. McBride is pretty close btw on both of those criteira, youth and performance, just not the same as doing it as a rookie and while young he's a tad older, and his value could take a hit if they end up taking a top end WR which is why he remains more in the mix with those other 4 for me then clearly sitting at 2.
So for me Andrews would be TE6 but a I got a very significant tier break from 5 to 6.
ETA-I still think there is a decent chance the Ravens have to make a decision on Andrews or Likely after the 2024 season. Extend one, move the other so they don't just walk.
