This is a quandary for fantasy managers, as Andrews posted a zero-point game last week and has been one of the lowest-scoring tight ends in the 2024 season.

I took a deeper dive look at Andrews’ numbers in my Week 3 fantasy football review and found that his issues are notable, especially on short passes (aerials thrown 10 or fewer yards downfield). Here is part of what that review found.

Andrews is third on the club in routes run at this depth level, but he is a distant fifth in targets, fourth in receptions, and fifth in receiving yards. To put it another way, journeyman Nelson Agholor, who has been on four teams in the past six years, is nearly equal to Andrews in many areas.

One does have to wonder if this might be due to injury-related rust. Andrews suffered a nasty ankle injury only 10 months ago, but what all of this shows is that this current production pace doesn’t look like a short burst of inconsistency. For whatever reason, Andrews has lost his place in the Baltimore passing game and until he regains that place, it’s best to sit him.
