Mark Andrews is the TE28 in fantasy points per game and hasn't had at least double-digit PPR points since Week 4. He has a 66.1% route share, an 18.3% target share with 1.29 YPRR, five red zone targets, two deep targets, and a 20.5% first-read share. The source has almost no confidence in Andrews at this point, but if you're desperate, he could have a mild bounce-back game this week. Buffalo has allowed the fourth-most yards per target and the 13th-most fantasy points per opportunity to tight ends over their last five games. If he has a decent game, the source won't be surprised, but also won't be shocked if Andrews disappoints yet again against Buffalo.

At $3,400 on DraftKings, Andrews offers tournament leverage as a DFS play despite recent target rate decline over the last two weeks. He leads all tight ends in open score and maintains elite target metrics: 19% target share (88th percentile at tight end), 22% targets per route run (85th percentile), and 19% first read target rate (93rd percentile). Per-target efficiency is low at 5.5 yards per target (2.2 yards below expected), creating a low floor but ceiling upside exists in this favorable matchup. He's been targeted on 28% of his routes with Lamar Jackson (though one sample included Flowers missing entirely), and Lamar Jackson has an established long-standing connection with Andrews that differs from the recent Huntley dynamic, suggesting higher ceiling potential. Andrews can function as a cheap stacking target with Lamar Jackson to capture volume in the Ravens-Bills game.

Mark Andrews is super cheap, especially at DraftKings ($3,400), making him an attractive salary-cap play in a Ravens stack. While his yardage totals haven't been there this season, the likely shootout against the Bills that comes down to the wire increases his chances of finding the end zone.

Mark Andrews is regressing significantly in Baltimore's offense, described as 'dust' and 'dusty,' and looking old. He has been out-targeted and out-scored by Quavvis, losing his traditional end-zone target and safety-blanket role to Jacobe Lane. This represents a significant decline in his fantasy viability as Lamar Jackson's primary tight end.

Despite a poor season, Andrews has a favorable setup in Week 8 with Lamar Jackson returning and facing a great matchup. The source views this as a positive opportunity despite his 'god awful' year-to-date performance.

Andrews is still rostered in 61 percent of Sleeper leagues despite finishing as TE20 or worse in five of his seven games this season. His one top-10 fantasy week came in Week 4 (5 catches, 27 yards, 1 TD), but he is purely a touchdown-dependent option at this stage. Andrews has not topped 30-plus yards since Week 2 and is currently TE24 in fantasy points per game (7.5 PPR), nearly on par with the 7.7 PPG he totaled last season when he finished as TE25. Tighter ends currently scoring higher than Andrews while being rostered in lower percentages include Juwan Johnson, Michael Mayer, and Dalton Schultz, who are all stronger options despite their volatility.

Mark Andrews is still rostered in 61 percent of Sleeper leagues despite finishing as the TE20 or worse in five of his seven games this season. His one top-10 fantasy week came in Week 4 when he caught five passes for 27 yards and a touchdown, but the veteran tight end is purely a touchdown-dependent option at this stage. Andrews has not topped 30-plus yards since Week 2 and is currently the TE24 in fantasy points per game (7.5 PPR), which is nearly on par with the 7.7 PPG he totaled last season when he finished as the TE25. Tight ends currently scoring higher than Andrews while being rostered in a lower percentage of leagues include Juwan Johnson, Michael Mayer, and Dalton Schultz, who are all stronger options than Andrews at this point in the season.

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.

Mark Andrews is ranked TE20 for Week 8. His production is heavily dependent on Lamar Jackson's health: with Jackson, Andrews posts 27.3% target/route and 1.69 yards/route; without Jackson, those metrics drop to 16.5% target/route and 0.70 yards/route. Jackson's presence is critical to Andrews' fantasy value.
