2024 Fantasy Outlook
This coming season, Andrews is set to reprise his role in the middle of the Patriots interior line, where he slots in as the starting center. The 32-year-old, who originally joined the team as an undrafted free agent out of Georgia in 2015, started all 17 of New England's regular-season games in 2023. Read Past Outlooks
Dealing with torn rotator cuff
Andrews (shoulder) said Tuesday that he sustained a torn right rotator cuff in the Patriots' Week 4 loss to the 49ers and will miss the remainder of the season, Mike Kadlick of CLNSMedia.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Andrews turned 32 years old back in July and wants to continue his playing career next season, assuming he makes a full recovery from surgery. Nick Leverett replaced Andrews as the starting center in Week 5 and had a rough afternoon in the Patriots' loss to Miami, allowing 10 pressures, the most by a center in at least the last 18 seasons.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Patriots and Dolphins in pursuit
Dakota Randall of NESN.com reports that the Patriots and Dolphins are pursuing Andrews in free agency.
ANALYSIS
Re-signing Andrews wouldn't be as splashy of a transaction as some of New England's recent free-agent pickups, but bringing back one of the best centers in the league would nonetheless be a huge win. Reeling in Andrews would be a similar boon for the Dolphins, whose offensive line was one of the team's top weaknesses in 2020.
