TE Mark Andrews, BAL (1 Viewer)

Maybe a dynasty buy low; probably a redraft drop
Dynasty buy low? Not sure about that. Some guys slip on the banana peel and topple off the cliff earlier than others.
Ha I said maybe for a reason so none of yall can blame me for ruining your life

That said, I think there’s a reasonable chance he is still feeling the effects from the injury last season and the car accident as opposed to hitting the cliff at 29 when so many great TE’s maintain effectiveness well into their 30’s. Would I gamble a 4th on it? Absolutely. A 3rd? I’d have to think about it but probably. A 2nd? No

I think the car crash is irrelevant, but the injury last year might be.

Even if he’s not still hurt from the car crash, it could have impacted his ability to get into game shape. Also idk if being a 29 year old diabetic means it takes longer to heal, or to get in game shape…or eventually becomes a straight up barrier to one or the other.

Not spending big on the guy, but if the price is right and you’ve got bench space to hold for a year? As good a lotto ticket as any

From what I read he wasn't injured in the car crash, so it wouldn't have affected his ability to get into shape as far as I know.

"The collision had taken place on Andrew's way to training at Baltimore's Under Armour Performance Center, after which the team's medical staff evaluated Andrews, who didn't sustain any apparent injuries and partook in meetings that day"

Oh, huh. Good info, I saw enough folks referencing it and didn’t look deeper as I was not deeply invested in him

A lot of us reference the car crash because it seems like the team is hiding something, but no one knows what actually happened. All reports are it is was minor/nothing, but then he went on to miss practice for a couple weeks and we have all seen how the games have gone so far this year.

Know Mark Andrews finally scored fantasy points, 4-55-0 yesterday.

But could argue this was most concerning game of season. #Ravens tight end routes run on 47 Lamar Jackson drop backs:
1. Isaiah Likely 34
2. Mark Andrews 22 (47%)
3. Charlie Kolar 6
 
I'm calling BS on the car accident issue being "nothing"
Well, it was reported by the team that he wasn't injured, so why the conspiracy theory?

JohnnyU, you've been around this place as long as I have, we're about the same age, and even my RL name is 'Johnny' (irrelevant to the topic at hand, but coinciidental, nonetheless). Surely you've been around long enough to know that Teams hide stuff from the general public and the media all the time.

I'm plugged into the WFT'skins and Ravens over all other Teams, and I know one thing for sure: Between Bisciotti and Ozzie Newsome, they instilled a very tight-lipped culture of diversion, downplay and subterfuge into the football business side of the Team (which is absolutely the correct thing to do, from a real-world cutthroat competitve standpoint, IMHO), and Harbaugh is the perfect Coach to bring into that culture.

It makes perfect sense to me, when discussing the perplexing statistical output of a Ravens Player, there's more to the circumstances surrounding it than meets the eye.

Ravens brass couldn't hide the car accident (it's public record, and made the local news), but everything following that (healthcare, HIPPA, etc.) is easy be kept from the public and media eye, under today's legal rules and regs.

You may be right, but I'd rather not make assumptions based on theory, but that's just me. I'm not saying I never have, but you get where I'm coming from.

It's HIPAA, and the NFL is not a covered entity so it doesn't apply. Not saying that teams don't keep stuff from the media, but it isn't really because of any legal obligation

But the offense has changed, they have multiple pass options now, and he's been blocking a ton.
 
Nice to see Mark have a good game again. He was dropped in my 12 man, 0.5 PPR, regular format league (Of course for that Owner he has his best game of the year yesterday).

I currently have Pitts and Hockenson is coming off IR soon. Should I still put in a FAAB % bid? My current team:
  • Daniels
  • JT, Achane, Robinson Jr, Chase Brown, Allgeier, Braelon Allen
  • AJ Brown, Adams, Aiyuk, Shakir, Slayton
  • Pitts, Hockenson
  • Broncos
I would likely have to drop Slayton, or I could do the Broncos D and then just pick one up late next week if Nabers is back.

I think this is still more likely as to what to expect. I would add him.
 
Was dropped and picked up a few weeks back. Sadly I did not have the room. I absolutely should have made room. I get too attached to my lottery tickets.
 
I was hard on him earlier this year but he is looking good tonight, I do wonder how much a healthy Flowers effects his usage. I hope he can keep it going.
 
he looked awesome. back to to top 3 te status
He looks good. Was definitely getting wide open last night. And that sideline catch was picture perfect.

Still not a ton of targets though.

I still have concerns. Fortunately Goedert was Out so I didn't have to overthink it last week and it worked out. With Hock coming back soon, I'm going to get to enjoy driving myself crazy figuring out who to start every week for at least a couple weeks.
 
I dunno. TB was lost in coverage all night. Lamar had open receivers all over the field. Feels like chasing expecting it to continue against better secondaries
 
Getting more snaps now, 75% and running more routes. Maybe he just needed time to get back into football shape after his leg/ankle injury and the offseason car accident.

I think the lesson here is that with all the instant media posts, and people needing clicks and hits on their twitter/website whatever people have lost the focus of the big picture.

Lots of opportunities to buy low on players who everyone wants to say is washed because they drafted the back-up.

Those that bought Mixon low, or JT low coming off his injury last year, or Kittle last year with his injuries or Andrews etc are enjoying things now.

Just need patience. Good football players are good.
 
Does Likely's absence from tonight's game move Andrews' needle at all? I know he has been disappointing this season, but the talent is still there, right?

He's fine. He's played himself back into shape. There are a lot of playmakers on that offense right now, so his production swings may vary more.
