It doesn’t matter who you drafted at tight end this season — you’re probably just as lost as the rest of us when it comes to your success so far in 2024. After all, the top three scoring tight ends on the year are Dallas Goedert, Brock Bowers and Cole Kmet; go figure.

Though most of the top tight ends have been disappointments (Travis Kelce, Sam LaPorta), the most concerning of them all has to be Baltimore Ravens TE Mark Andrews, who’s scored a paltry 12.5 fantasy points through the first three weeks of the season.
After a dud in the season opener, Andrews showed signs of life catching four of his five targets for 51 yards in Week 2 … but apparently, that wasn’t a sign of what’s to come. In Week 3, a seemingly healthy Andrews played just 33% of team snaps (as well as two snaps on special teams — a rarity for him) while teammate Isaiah Likely played on 62% of snaps in this run-heavy game script.
As if the disappointment of our healthy tight ends wasn’t enough, fantasy managers will also be without Cardinals TE Trey McBride, who was ruled out with a concussion. Oof. That one hurts.
If you’re looking for a replacement for Andrews or McBride (or even just trying to find a viable streaming option), our fantasy analysts are here to help with their Week 4 tight end rankings in half-PPR scoring leagues.
Are you still starting Mark Andrews in your lineups, or are you headed to the waiver wire seeking a better option?
