Who Should I Start? Nick Vannett or Mark Andrews

Monday, May 13, 4:10 PM

Free-agent tight end Nick Vannett is signing with the Tennessee Titans, according to ESPN's Turron Davenport. The 31-year-old spent last season with the Los Angeles Chargers and caught one pass for three yards in eight games played. Vannett is a former third-round pick by the Seattle Seahawks in 2016 and has spent time with seven organizations in seven years. Overall, he's hauled in 91 of his 130 career targets for 877 yards and six touchdowns. He'll likely compete with 2023 fifth-round pick Josh Whyle for the TE2 role in 2024, but Chigoziem Okonkwo remains the lead tight end for quarterback Will Levis after this signing.

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews caught two of his three targets for 22 yards and two touchdowns during Thursday's Week 9 win over the Miami Dolphins. The veteran tight end had relatively low involvement in the victory, but he was highly efficient in terms of scoring, converting both of his grabs into touchdowns. The 30-year-old now has 26 catches, 230 yards, and four touchdowns this season, which is a relatively underwhelming line through eight games. With that said, Andrews has scored four touchdowns through five games with Lamar Jackson under center, so perhaps the quarterback's return from a hamstring injury will give him a significant boost going forward. He ranks as a mid-range TE2 for Week 10 against the Minnesota Vikings.
