It is likely that you need some fantasy advice and we are giving it right now on fantasy football today in five.

0:09.0

Good morning. Welcome to week one. It's Adam Azer and he's coming here.

0:13.0

Five minutes of injury updates for you. Mark Andrews not expected to play today and a lot of Isaiah likely questions.

0:20.0

And here's what he did in three games without Mark Andrews last year including one game where Andrews played about 12% of the snaps.

0:27.0

Six catches 77 yards in a touchdown. One catch for 24 yards in a touchdown but he led the team in targets in that game.

0:34.0

Eight catches 103 yards. Two of those games with the Marjacks and one with Anthony Brown through 44 passes in week 18.

0:41.0

All right. He's worthy of Isaiah likely ranked among tight ends.

0:44.0

He is a number two tight end for me right in the the Luke Musgrave range. I think I'll probably be one of the low guys on him.

0:52.0

I've got him around tight end 18. And it's like those numbers were impressive but I don't know that we can expect exactly the same tight end role to exist in this offense with a new offensive coordinator Baltimore through the ball to their tight ends last year.

1:07.0

Like 10% more than anyone else and oh yeah they didn't have Zay flowers Odell back a more reshot bait and so I'm a little more skeptical I would rather stream Gerald Everett than start Isaiah likely.

1:18.0

Okay, because I tweeted that he's tight end for me. I think he's perfect. I'm glad we were starting off on a good foot.

1:24.0

He's my for Jamie. I don't know if if I see him in Dave's rankings just yet. Yeah, it's you know people will be split on him. It is interesting.

1:33.0

Now there's also maybe a boost for Bateman and flowers and Beckham. What do you think?

1:37.0

Yeah, I am I'm interested in starting both flowers and Bateman as boom bus number three high end flex type guys.

1:46.0

I think it will I feel pretty confident. One of those two is going to lead the team in targets.

1:52.0

I've got to back him a distant third at wide receiver.

1:55.0

Okay, more tight end news Darren wall or questionable. Unfortunately, it's a Sunday night game. So what do we do in this situation?

2:02.0

Yeah, I wouldn't start Isaiah likely over him. I'd rather have Jake Ferguson on my bench and then I can just wait it out.

2:11.0

But if you if you don't have Ferguson, if you don't have like I don't really want to start one of the guys on the Monday night tight ends.

2:18.0

Then I'm starting David and joke over him. I'm starting Pat Fryer move over him.

2:23.0

But I'd rather wait it out. If you're in a super deep league, you could pick up Daniel Belinger and see what happens there.

2:30.0

But the word is that and waller is expected to play. He is expected to play. It's not expected to be great weather though.
