Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely respresent a tight end tandem for the Baltimore Ravens. They have each turned in strong performances during certain weeks of the 2024 fantasy football season, but have also had their share of duds. Here's which one is a better pick to use in Week 7 lineups against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Is Mark Andrews a good fantasy pick in Week 7?
Mark Andrews has been one of the most dominant fantasy football tight ends during his career with the Baltimore Ravens. He finished four of the past five years ranked among the top five players in his position, but he has failed to find consistent production during the 2024 season. He has already had two games where he was held without a reception, but also two other games ranked as the TE11 or better.

The veteran is coming off of his best game of the season last week when he finished as the TE3 with 66 yards and a touchdown. He has also exceeded 50 yards in each of his past two games, so he brings momentum into a Week 7 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. His polarizing results this year have made him an extremely risky pick, but one with plenty of weekly upside.
Is Isaiah Likely a good fantasy pick in Week 7?
Isaiah Likely has also been a bit inconsistent during the 2024 fantasy football season. He has twice finished among the top-four weekly tight ends, but has finished as the TE21 or worse in his other four games. He has also eclipsed 30 receiving yards just once this year, though his three touchdowns have helped him to a current TE7 overall ranking.
The rising star's upside is apparent, but his weekly fantasy outlook gives him a low floor in most matchups due to sharing time with Andrews at the same position. He gets a favorable Week 7 matchup against the Buccaneers' bottom-10 passing defense, so he has a solid chance to get back on track after a TE26 finish last week.
Mark Andrews or Isaiah Likely: Who Should I Start in Week 7 fantasy football?
Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely have a similar fantasy outlook in Week 7 for the Ravens' matchup against the Buccaneers. Sportskeeda's Who Should I Start tool recommends starting Likely, mostly due to his higher likelihood of scoring a touchdown than Andrews.
This valuable tool gives weekly projections and lineup suggestions to help managers make better decisions. In this case, it gives the edge to Likely by more than half of a fantasy point, despite Andrews being expected to record more yards.
