Who Should I Start? Mark Andrews or Jeremiyah Love

Saturday, October 3, 3:06 AM

Baltimore Ravens veteran tight end Mark Andrews looks to bounce back at home against the Tennessee Titans in Week 4 after a quiet showing in Brazil against the Dallas Cowboys last week. Andrews had his usual five targets but caught only three passes for 24 yards. While his target share remained at 25% and his 13 routes were the third-highest on the team, behind wide receivers Rashod Bateman (20) and Zay Flowers (15), he played just 47% of the snaps. Admittedly, we have a very small sample size three weeks in, but Andrews has, for the first time in his nine seasons in the league, a negative catch rate over expected (-2.7%), his shortest air yards per target (6.6), and has seen just one red zone target this year. For comparison, Andrews had three red zone targets and a consistent 80% snap share after the first three weeks in the 2025 season. With rookie tight ends Matthew Hibner and Josh Cuevas each running eight routes against the Cowboys in Week 3, the tight end room is getting crowded for the aging Mark Andrews, who is likely to see fewer opportunities as the season progresses. For their part, the Tennessee Titans defense has been stingy against tight ends through three weeks, allowing just an average of 5.5 fantasy points to the position, the third-best in the NFL. As RotoBaller's 12th-ranked tight end this week, the veteran has been mostly relegated to the dreaded "touchdown-dependent TE1" category that plagues the position in fantasy football. In this tough matchup, managers in shallow leagues may have better options, but deep-league managers are hoping Andrews finds the end zone in Week 4 to pay off.
