Fantasy Football Player Notes
2024 Half PPR Rest of Season Rankings
4.
Derrick Henry
RB - (vs . CLE)

45.
Zay Flowers
WR - (vs . CLE)
Last week, I cited that the Ravens receivers had suppressed betting prop lines because of the severe lack of passes from Lamar Jackson in Week 3. It was the LOWEST number of attempts by the Ravens quarterback in any game in his ENTIRE career where he played the full game. Week 4 was the fifth lowest of his career.
Needless to say, the lack of passing volume is going to regress to the mean eventually in games where Baltimore isn't so fortunate to play from ahead. They are facing two top offenses in the next two weeks, so you could see the passing game seeing more volume. Flowers is an easy trade target as a result. Team-high 26% target share while leading the team in receptions. |

Mark Andrews
TE - (vs . CLE)
As for Mark Andrews. Well, you can't start him anytime soon. That's pretty self-explanatory. Should you drop him outright? In shallow leagues where you might only roster one tight end, he's a drop. But in deeper formats where you are streaming the position, I still think Andrews has a place. He's at his rock-bottom floor at the moment, given his usage, playing time and overwhelming lack of production. The game scripts haven't helped. But him dropping wide open passes isn't helping either.
I want to be clear that you shouldn't just cut Andrews because you're tilting. He's still a tight end (bad position) attached to an elite quarterback with a long track record of success. It cannot get worse for Andrews. But if you need to make a move for a starting tight end in Week 5, then Andrews is on the chopping block. Note that at this point, Likely should be viewed ahead of Andrews. He's already flashed a ceiling this season and has seen the superior usage to Andrews. Andrews ran a route on just 41% of the dropbacks. Identical to Agholor and fewer than Justice Hill. It was more than less week, but nowhere near where want our fantasy tight ends. Even "if" the Ravens throw more, there's no guarantee that Andrews is the main benefactor between Likely and Flowers based on how few routes he is running. His role is different from last season, and as a result, he's not usable in fantasy until we see something otherwise. |
