Mark Andrews began the week with his availability in question but as of Thursday night it looks like he'll suit up for the Ravens. While it is possibly a difficult matchup, it would be very difficult to sit Andrews if he's active. 

For the season Andrews is the No. 8 tight end on a per-game basis and one of those ranked in front of him (Evan Engram) may not play in Week 15. Jared Cook is another tight end you might have considered over Andrews, but he's still in the concussion protocol and doesn't play until Monday night. 

The one "streamer" I would start over Andrews is Tyler Higbee. Gerald Everett still hasn't practiced and Higbee has been phenomenal without Everett. 

Over the past two weeks Higbee is second on the Rams with 19 targets, 14 receptions, and 223 receiving yards. There are few tight ends in football that have matched those numbers over a two-game stretch.

If you don't have Andrews or Higbee (or a top-six tight end) I've got a few more streaming options below. There's no shortage this week.

Josh Hill is not a bad deep-league option.
TE Preview
Numbers to Know
  • 37 - Targets for Mike Gesicki over the past six games. He's a fine start despite a disappointing Week 14.
  • 28.3 - Fantasy points for Tyler Higbee the past two weeks, the most at the position. 
  • 7 - Targets inside the 10 for Austin Hooper this season. Only Travis Kelce has more at tight end.
  • 63 - O.J. Howard has played at least 63 snaps in each of the past two games and he's scored 11 PPR Fantasy points in both.

Higbee is functioning as the second option in the passing game right now.
Ian Thomas TE

As long as Greg Olsen is out, Thomas should see plenty of targets against a very good matchup.

I prefer non-PPR for Howard, but he's startable in all formats.
