TE2 target earner for Lamar; elite separation metrics despite down year

Mark AndrewsTEBAL

JJ Zachariason ranks Mark Andrews as tight end 9 and projects him as the number two target earner behind only Z Flowers for Lamar Jackson. Despite career-low receiving yards and yards per target last season, Zachariason cites strong underlying metrics: second-fastest top speed of any tight end last season (only Brock Bowers faster), tight end 6 average separation score, and tight end 1 ESPN open score per route. With Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kohler departing and minimal new target competition (Elijah Sra, Kobe Lane), Andrews should return to an every-down role. Zachariason is "feeling pretty good" about Andrews as a late-round tight end target if he falls outside the top 9-10 rounds.
