Who Should I Start? Mark Andrews or Juwan Johnson

Wednesday, December 3, 6:00 PM

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews agreed to terms on a three-year, $39.3 million contract extension with the team on Wednesday that includes $26 million guaranteed, sources tell Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. Andrews is the franchise's all-time leading receiver, who was in the final year of his deal. The 2026 campaign will be his ninth with the team after the Ravens drafted him in the third round in 2018. Andrews is going strong and currently has 473 career catches for 5,826 yards and 56 touchdowns. The 30-year-old veteran isn't nearly as consistent as he's been in the past for fantasy managers, but he's managed 37 catches on 52 targets for 332 yards and five touchdowns in 12 games in 2025, good enough to make him the TE13 in half-PPR scoring. Isaiah Likely's presence in Baltimore makes Andrews more volatile in fantasy, but he'll be a low-end TE1 this weekend against the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers.

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson brought in five of nine targets for 39 yards in the Week 13 loss to the Dolphins. The nine targets were a team-high and his most since Week 2. He will look to build on this momentum in a matchup against the Buccaneers, where he had five receptions for 53 yards earlier in the season. The Saints will be shorthanded for the contest, with running back Alvin Kamara (ankle, knee) ruled out and receiver Chris Olave (back) questionable to play. Through four games with Tyler Shough under center, Johnson has recorded an 18-202-2 stat line. Even if Olave suits up, Johnson will operate as a TE1 in what should be a pass-heavy offense against a Buccaneers team allowing 247.5 passing yards per game.
