Week 12 at Pittsburgh Steelers
Mark Andrews had a great game last week against the Titans, catching five of his seven targets for 96 yards and a touchdown. While he’s had some lulls in production, he has found the end zone six times this season and is averaging six targets per game, and leads the team in receptions and receiving yards. Andrews is the primary receiving option in Baltimore and should continue to be so.
This week, Andrews faces a Steelers defense that ranks first in aFPA to opposing tight ends. He’s also dealing with a thigh injury and the Baltimore game is at risk due to COVID. Not the best circumstances to count on Andrews. Assuming the game is on, and Andrews is active, and Lamar Jackson is starting, Andrews has too much talent to sit. However, fantasy owners should be looking at backup options now in case of last-minute news.
Update: The game has been moved to Wednesday, and Andrews has tested positive for COVID, so make sure you have a backup plan available.
