PositiveProjectionOct 30, 2026
The source's bold prediction is that Mark Andrews will not finish as a top-15 tight end in Week 8, despite his TE15 ECR ranking. Andrews has underperformed this season. Among 40 tight ends with at least 75 routes run, Andrews is tied for eighth in targets per route run (0.24) but ranks only tied for 24th in yards per route run (1.30), 36th in yards per target (5.51), 34th in yards per reception (7.85), tied for 24th in receiving touchdowns (one), and tied for 30th in half-PPR points per route run (0.25). Since Week 6, Andrews has run 49 routes and produced only four receptions for 27 scoreless yards. The source states he would not call a TE15 finish for Andrews the likeliest outcome and would rather start all tight ends ranked ahead of him and a handful ranked behind him over Andrews.
PositiveProjectionOct 29, 2026
Andrews is TE28 in fantasy points per game and hasn't had double-digit PPR points since Week 4. He has a 66.1% route share, 18.3% target share with 1.29 YPRR, five red zone targets, two deep targets, and 20.5% first-read share. The source has almost no confidence in Andrews at this point, though he could have a mild bounce-back game this week. Buffalo has allowed the fourth-most yards per target and 13th-most fantasy points per opportunity to tight ends over the last five games, but the source won't be shocked if Andrews disappoints yet again.

Andrews is TE25 in fantasy points per game despite strong underlying metrics: 19.6% target share, 21.7% first-read share, five red zone targets, one deep target, and 0.091 FD/RR. His YPRR has declined to 1.37 with only one touchdown. The source identifies Week 7 against Cincinnati as a breakout opportunity; if Andrews can't post a TE1 week in this matchup, it may be time to cut him from fantasy rosters. Cincinnati has allowed the most yards per target and eighth-most receiving fantasy points per game to tight ends.

Andrews is TE25 in fantasy points per game despite carrying a 19.6% target share and 21.7% first-read share, with only one touchdown despite five red zone targets and one deep target. His YPRR has fallen to 1.37, but he has an encouraging 0.091 FD/RR. Derek Brown identifies this week as a prime breakout opportunity against Cincinnati, which has allowed the most yards per target and eighth-most receiving fantasy points per game to tight ends. Brown suggests if Andrews can't post a TE1 week in Week 7, it may be time to cut bait.

PositiveBustOct 20, 2026
Andrews lands in the droppable-with-regret category because Lamar Jackson's absence might partially explain his 1-4-0 stat line from the Ravens' Week 6 loss to the Browns. However, Andrews hasn't been good with Jackson either. Through six games, Andrews has 23-181-1 on 30 targets, averaging 5.5 yards per target after averaging a career-low 6.0 yards per target last season. The 31-year-old tight end is clearly on a downward trajectory and is by no means a must-hold.
NegativeBustOct 19, 2026
Andrews has been in the dud section far too often over the last four seasons and is almost impossible to roster right now. He finished Week 6 with one catch for four yards, his fourth straight game with fewer than 30 receiving yards, and hasn't cracked 50 yards in any game all year. He's only hit paydirt once all year despite touchdowns usually making up for lack of yardage. At age 31, Andrews appears to be hitting a wall and is off-limits until the source sees more usage or red-zone targets.
PositiveProjectionOct 17, 2026
Despite solid per-route stats, Mark Andrews has been a fantasy disappointment as TE19 in fantasy points per game. Among 47 qualifying tight ends, Andrews is fourth in target share (21.9%), 16th in YPRR (1.64), ninth in first downs per route run (0.102), and fourth in first-read share (25.5%). Andrews has only one score while having five red zone targets and one deep target. Derek Brown projects Andrews could be a TE1 this week against Cleveland, but thinks it's more likely he has a down week. Cleveland has allowed the tenth-fewest yards per target to tight ends while ranking 17th in fantasy points per opportunity to the position.

Against Cleveland (10th-fewest yards per target to tight ends, 17th in fantasy points per opportunity), Andrews could be TE1 but is more likely to have a down week.

Andrews is the TE18 in fantasy points per game but finally finished as a TE1 last week (TE8); his per-route data is strong—among 46 qualifying tight ends, he ranks 16th in route share (67.5%), fourth in target share (22.9%), 12th in YPRR (1.80), and fifth in first-read share (26%), with three red zone targets and one deep target. Against Atlanta, which is 14th in fantasy points per opportunity allowed to tight ends and has surrendered 15.6 PPR to Freiermuth, 18.3 PPR to Waller, and 11.9 PPR to Johnson this season, Andrews could easily be a TE1 again this week.

Andrews is the TE18 in fantasy points per game but finally finished as a TE1 last week (TE8). His per-route data has been elite: among 46 qualifying tight ends, he ranks 16th in route share (67.5%), fourth in target share (22.9%), 12th in YPRR (1.80), and fifth in first-read share (26%). He has three red zone targets and one deep target. The source projects Andrews could easily be a TE1 again this week against Atlanta, which is 14th in fantasy points per opportunity allowed to tight ends and has surrendered 15.6 PPR points to Pat Freiermuth, 18.3 PPR points to Darren Waller, and 11.9 PPR points to Juwan Johnson this season.

Andrews is TE18 in fantasy points per game but finished as TE8 last week. His per-route data is excellent: among 46 qualifying tight ends, he ranks 16th in route share (67.5%), fourth in target share (22.9%), 12th in YPRR (1.80), and fifth in first-read share (26%). He has three red zone targets and one deep target. Atlanta allows 14th in fantasy points per opportunity to tight ends and has surrendered 15.6 PPR to Freiermuth, 18.3 PPR to Waller, and 11.9 PPR to Johnson this season (those three combined for three scores). The source believes Andrews could easily be a TE1 again this week.

Mark Andrews is TE20 in fantasy points per game, but his usage metrics suggest a correction is coming. He carries 65.6% route share, 23.7% target share, 2.07 YPRR, one red zone target, zero deep targets, and 25.9% first-read share. Among 38 qualifying tight ends, he ranks TE14 in XFP per route run. Derek Brown notes that Tennessee hasn't faced a tough tight end yet—Kenyon Sadiq was part-time in Week 1, Dallas Goedert got hurt in Week 2, and Isaiah Likely faced Jameis Winston's uncatchable targets last week. Andrews could post a strong TE1 stat line this week.

Mark Andrews is TE20 in fantasy points per game, but Derek Brown sees a correction coming in his fantasy output based on strong usage metrics. Andrews carries a 65.6% route share, 23.7% target share, 2.07 YPRR, one red zone target, zero deep targets, and 25.9% first-read share. His per-route metrics have been stellar, but he hasn't been getting high-leverage usage and has zero touchdowns this season; he ranks TE14 in XFP per route run among 38 qualifying tight ends. Tennessee hasn't faced a tough tight end yet, and Brown projects Andrews could post a strong TE1 stat line this week.

Mark Andrews has solid underlying usage metrics through two games despite being TE15 in fantasy points per game, which the source attributes to zero touchdowns rather than poor play. Andrews has a 67.6% route share, 23.2% target share, 2.13 YPRR, one red zone target, and 30% first-read share—all solid to very strong metrics. The source expects Andrews to finally score this week in a favorable matchup against Dallas, which has allowed the eighth-most yards per target and third-most fantasy points per opportunity to tight ends.

Mark Andrews is ranked TE1 for Week 3 and is listed as a strong start. Through two games, he has seen solid usage despite being TE15 in fantasy points per game, which is related to zero touchdowns and not indicative of his play. Andrews has 67.6% route share, 23.2% target share, 2.13 YPRR, one red zone target, and 30% first-read share—all solid, if not very strong metrics. Dallas has allowed the eighth-most yards per target and third-most fantasy points per opportunity to tight ends. The source expects Andrews to finally get into the end zone this week.
PositiveProjectionSep 24, 2026
Andrews is bouncing back from a down campaign. Through two games this year, he has 67.6% route participation, 23.2% target share, 0.28 TPRR, 30.0% first-read share, 14.5% air yard share, 5.0 receptions per game, 42.0 receiving yards per game, 2.13 Y/RR, 1 red-zone target, 9.9 DraftKings points per game, 9.79 expected DraftKings points per game, 7.4 FanDuel points per game, and 7.39 expected FanDuel points per game. While he hasn't reached paydirt yet this year, his red-zone rapport with Jackson is strong, and he has a good chance to do so if the game shoots out.

Through two games, Andrews is TE15 in fantasy points per game but shows solid-to-very-strong underlying usage metrics: 67.6% route share, 23.2% target share, 2.13 YPRR, one red zone target, and 30% first-read share. His zero touchdowns are not indicative of his play quality. The source expects Andrews to finally get into the endzone this week in a favorable matchup against Dallas, which has allowed the eighth-most yards per target and third-most fantasy points per opportunity to tight ends.
PositiveValueSep 18, 2026
Andrews is the most reliable stacking option with Lamar Jackson. He had a 70% route participation rate, six targets (24% target share and 0.29 TPRR), four receptions and 49 receiving yards in Week 1. Andrews also has a track record of success in scoring territory, with 16 receiving touchdowns and 15.1 expected receiving touchdowns in 37 games since 2024. The source notes he's also a threat for a tush-push touchdown if the Ravens opt to give their running back a breather near the goal line.
NegativeRoleSep 16, 2026
Andrews was Baltimore's true target-share leader (25% adjusted, tied for the team high) once his 11-yard catch, erased by an Illegal Shift penalty, is counted—officially 6-4-49-0, but a true 7 targets. His 77.8% route participation and 70.3% snap share confirm a full-time role, even though the box score reads as modest (4-49). One red-zone target logged, no end-zone looks—a solid, high-floor complementary piece rather than a true focal point. But without Lane and now Flowers, Andrews is going to be out there and can still fall into the end zone and score.
PositiveMatchupSep 10, 2026
Mark Andrews remains one of the most reliable veteran tight ends in fantasy and draws a favorable 5-star matchup against the Indianapolis Colts this week. Lamar Jackson continues to lean on Andrews in crucial situations, especially in the red zone where his touchdown upside remains among the best at the position. When healthy, Andrews commands a strong target share and gives managers a dependable weekly floor. With his combination of volume, scoring potential, and matchup, he deserves strong consideration in starting lineups.
