Fantasy Fallout: Keep rolling with Mark Andrews?

Our NFL Nation reporters reply phantasy shot questions each Tuesday during the NFL season. Here's what they had to accidental pursuing Week 13.

Should Mark Andrews managers beryllium disquieted astir him sustaining worth if Lamar Jackson misses time?

Not astatine all. Just similar Jackson, Tyler Huntley's favourite people is Andrews. In Tyler Huntley's 4 starts past season, Andrews averaged 95.7 yards receiving per crippled and scored 2 touchdowns. Nearly a 3rd of Huntley's targeted throws went to Andrews (32.8%) past season. That shouldn't alteration this year, particularly with No. 1 wide receiver Rashod Bateman (foot) retired for the season. If that's not convincing enough, the Ravens adjacent play the Steelers, who person fixed up 420 yards receiving to choky ends since Week 5 (eighth astir successful the NFL during that stretch). -- Jamison Hensley

Either, neither oregon both? ... Will Devin Singletary and James Cook beryllium viable phantasy options down the agelong of the play similar they were Thursday nighttime astatine Foxboro?

This isn't the astir nonstop answer, but it depends connected our explanation of viable. The Bills showed a tendency to get Cook much progressive vs. the Patriots, which shows some volition apt beryllium options successful fantasy, but volition either oregon some enactment up points consistently? Maybe not. Cook had a vocation time successful New England, playing 42.7% of the snaps and finishing with 14 carries and six receptions. On the different hand, it was Singletary who scored a touchdown, not Cook. It's a dicey presumption for phantasy owners to beryllium successful due to the fact that the Bills volition beryllium utilizing some backs. Cook volition apt proceed to spot an summation successful production, and some are coagulated options, but there's nary warrant with this discourtesy which, if either, volition person a large day. -- Alaina Getzenberg

Cole Kmet led the squad successful targets, Equanimeous St. Brown successful yards and Chase Claypool successful expectations. Who is the astir invaluable Bears pass-catcher the remainder of the mode with Darnell Mooney connected the shelf?

It has been 3 games since Fields and Kmet connected connected 2 touchdowns successful a nonaccomplishment to Detroit. The third-year choky extremity emerged arsenic Fields' astir trusted reddish portion menace by the midway constituent of the season, and that's an country successful which the 2 tin proceed to hone their chemistry implicit the Bears' last 4 games. The fluidity of Chicago's receiving corps should mean Fields establishes consistency elsewhere with his apical choky end. We don't cognize if receivers Equanimeous St. Brown, Byron Pringle, Dante Pettis and others volition beryllium connected the Bears' roster adjacent year. We cognize Kmet will. His interaction tin assistance Fields germinate arsenic a passer opening successful Week 15. -- Courtney Cronin

Amari Cooper dominated the targets (nine) successful Deshaun Watson's 2022 debut but struggled to 40 yards. Are you optimistic connected the engagement oregon discouraged by the constricted efficiency?

Watson was highly rusty successful his archetypal crippled back. He was besides booed earlier each drawback successful Houston. How agelong volition it instrumentality Watson to shingle disconnected the rust? And however volition helium fare against different apt hostile assemblage adjacent play successful Cincinnati? Who knows astatine this point? But Cooper remains the No. 1 enactment successful the Browns' passing offense. The QB play volition find whether Cooper gets backmost to putting up large numbers. -- Jake Trotter

Is D'Andre Swift present the person successful this backfield? Who volition pb successful phantasy points the remainder of the mode (Swift's walk catching vs. Jamaal Williams' goal-line role)?

Production is ne'er an contented erstwhile it comes to Swift. His main contented is remaining healthy. When he's feeling good, he'll enactment up numbers, but beauteous overmuch each play helium has battled enarthrosis and ankle injuries, portion Williams has remained accordant successful the backfield and arsenic the preferred goal-line threat. I don't deliberation that changes implicit the people of this past stretch. Swift volition nutrient connected the crushed and successful the passing game, but I judge Williams volition pb successful phantasy points for the remainder of the mode with his consistency. His goal-line relation is beauteous overmuch automatic astatine this point, and the coaching unit has assurance successful his ability. -- Eric Woodyard

Should phantasy managers statement AJ Dillon arsenic "the guy" successful this backfield portion Green Bay plays retired the string?

Only if Aaron Jones is hurt, and it doesn't look similar the shin wounded helium sustained precocious successful the Bears crippled volition beryllium an issue, particularly with this week's bye to rest. Yes, the Packers person unopen down Jones precocious successful the play successful years past. But determination besides person been times erstwhile Dillon looked similar helium had emerged lone to springiness mode to Jones a week oregon 2 later. -- Rob Demovsky

Darius Slayton is not rostered successful the bulk of leagues but has seen 24 targets implicit the past 3 weeks: Do you spot him earning 7-9 targets connected a accordant ground implicit the last 5 weeks?

Slayton is worthy rostering and starting regularly astatine this point. His relation continues to turn and grow. He's firmly entrenched arsenic Daniel Jones' No. 1 target. That's not going to stop. The Giants are going instrumentality a fewer shots each crippled downfield with Slayton, and he's Jones' information blanket. That's a beardown combination, particularly against prime contention (Eagles twice, Minnesota, Washington, Indianapolis) down the agelong successful crippled environments that should unit the Giants to propulsion much than they would prefer. -- Jordan Raanan

Zonovan Knight looks similar the featured backmost and Garrett Wilson the WR1. Can we number connected both arsenic lineup locks arsenic agelong arsenic Mike White is nether center?

Yes, some are harmless bets to stay successful featured roles. RB Michael Carter (ankle) is expected to instrumentality this week, but it astir apt volition beryllium arsenic Knight's sidekick. Wilson is the WR1, present and for a agelong time, nary substance who is the QB. -- Rich Cimini

How should phantasy managers set expectations with Jimmy Garoppolo banged up?

Rookie Brock Purdy is Garoppolo's replacement, and he's a seventh-round prime who has started zero NFL games. While Purdy was coagulated successful his archetypal extended play, it's tenable to deliberation there's going to beryllium a batch much volatility successful Purdy's performances compared to Garoppolo. The Niners won't inquire Purdy to bash overmuch speech from instrumentality attraction of the shot and get it retired quick, which means moving backmost Christian McCaffrey should proceed to stockpile large days, but it's hard to task accordant accumulation elsewhere until we spot much from Purdy. -- Nick Wagoner

Can phantasy managers chopped ties with Antonio Gibson aft Brian Robinson Jr. touched the shot 23 times against the Giants?

Probably. Robinson volition surely beryllium the much unafraid prime conscionable due to the fact that helium continues to tally the mode they hoped. Gibson's touches volition fluctuate more, particularly with Jahan Dotson moving his mode back. There conscionable won't beryllium capable touches to spell around. And we cognize the Commanders privation to power the clock, which means much Robinson. Plus, he's moving much decisively and showing much popular to the outside. It's what they hoped to see, truthful I don't spot his carries being reduced astatine all. -- John Keim
