Fantasy Upside
When on the field in 2023, Mark Andrews was his typical high-floor/high-ceiling self, scoring 11.3 half-PPR points per game and 12.2 PPG if we remove his injury-shortened Week 11. Between Weeks 2-10, he was tied for the lead (T.J. Hockenson, Jake Ferguson) in targets from within the opponent's 10-yard line, converting them into four scores. Andrews is, by all accounts, back to full health heading into 2024 and could very easily lead the team in targets once again.
Fantasy Downside
The ankle injury Andrews suffered last year was brutal looking and may keep the 29-year-old TE from bouncing back to his previous levels. Young Bucks Trey McBride and Dalton Kincaid have no such issues and are going a little later in ADP. There's also the addition of Derrick Henry, which could threaten the passing game around the goal line.
2024 Bottom Line
We should know what we have in Mark Andrews if he is truly back to health by Week 1; one of the few tight ends in the league who can lead his team in targets, receiving touchdowns, and maybe even yardage. Better yet, he is coming at a two-plus round discount than the last two seasons, in a great offensive environment, with incredible chemistry with his quarterback. Throw the injury concerns out the window and draft Andrews anywhere you can.
