That's an awful offer for Andrews given how unstartable Pitts has been. Assuming JT's injury isn't serious your RB situation is fine. Breece gonna be a stud.
Andrews already had almost no target competition and now Bateman is dealing with some kind of foot injury. Sounds like another overall TE1 season is happening.

The two things that make me say no to this are on the RB side. First, Harris is a mid RB2 at best (maybe not even in a 10 team PPR) with a limited ceiling due to RBBC with Stevenson and little pass game usage. Second, Hall and Jacobs are fine to start and Taylor isn't out long term, so the RB situation isn't that bad. It's not even certain that I'd start Harris over Hall this week (and definitely not over Jacobs). So, the deal isn't good because it makes your TE production less certain without providing a clear upgrade to the starting lineup at RB.

chance
to get back to Andrews production at the position, whereas the guys you are listing are more like punting and saying "these guys at least give me something but I'm going to need to make up for this position somewhere, too". Freiermuth fits in that class of TE, too.

Breece Hall and Josh Jacobs are both literally better than Damien Harris
"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

Harris is a fringe flex starter for me in my 12 man league. I don't play 10 man leagues but I can't imagine him being an RB2 on any non-zero RB teams. Additionally, Kyle Pitts is a horrible asset right now. He underperformed last year. He has underperformed this year. He has one game over 30 yards this year.

You should factor in Pitts upside but you're waaay too high on his upside. I would much rather gamble on someone like Kittle who at least has a history of being elite.
