Mark Andrews start or sit: Week 8 fantasy football advice

The 1-5 Baltimore Ravens come out their bye to host the 4-2 Chicago Bears as 7-point favorites. The reason for that big line is that Vegas believed Lamar Jackson will be back after missing two games with a hamstring injury. Unfortunately, as I was writing this, Jackson has been listed as out for Week 8. That line has already dropped to Ravens -1.5 with Snoop Huntley getting the start.

Andrews has been disappointing this season except for one game in which he went off for six receptions on six targets for 91 yards and two touchdowns in a high-scoring loss to the Lions in Week 3. He hasn’t topped 30 yards or found the end zone in any other game. We could blame some of that on Cooper Rush, who took over for the injured Jackson, but he also put up duds with Jackson at QB. Could Huntley unlock him?

Below, we’ll go over Mark Andrews’ outlook in fantasy football for Week 8.

It may just be wish casting, but I do think Huntley will be better for Andrews than Rush. He also won’t take off and run as much as Jackson, which could mean more quick hitters to Andrews. If six teams weren’t on bye this week, I’d probably say to sit Andrews, but as it is, I still like him enough against a Bears defense missing three starting defensive backs.
