Mark Andrews Week 6 Outlook - Ravens at Eagles

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 15th 2020, 8:35am EDT

It's been a yo-yo like season for Andrews, who's now seen target totals of 6, 3, 8, 3, and 9. Oddly enough, he still hasn't topped 58 yards this season, but he has scored five times, making yardage a bonus. He's caught a touchdown every 5.8 targets, a number that is not going to keep up. Even in his first two seasons where he was hyper-efficient, he caught a touchdown every 11.4 targets which is still elite territory. He's still 15th in yards per route run, so he's not bad there, but he'll need a bit more efficiency with his yardage to carry his current No. 3 tight end ranking. The Eagles have been the fountain of fantasy points for tight ends to this point, as they've allowed a ridiculous 86.5 percent completion-rate (highest in the NFL) and five touchdowns (second-most) through five games. Heck, even Logan Thomas had an efficient game against them when he caught four passes for 37 yards and a touchdown. Tyler Higbee, who's been a non-factor for 4-of-5 weeks, was able to catch 5-of-5 passes for 54 yards and three touchdowns. We don't even need to mention the 15 receptions for 183 yards and a touchdown that George Kittle posted on 15 targets, but we will. There is nothing to worry about with this matchup for Andrews, and knowing the Eagles stop the run extremely well, we should see a lot of targets for the top-tier tight end. Start him as an elite TE1 this week.
