Mark Andrews Week 2 Outlook - Raiders at Ravens

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Sun, Sep 15th 2024, 12:05pm EDT

Isaiah Likely and Andrews' usages were flipped last week. Andrews had a 70% route run clip, with 72% of his snaps coming from the slot, so it's not like he wasn't out there. Unlike Flowers, though, Andrews didn't have any designed targets. Andrews finished with a 4.9% target share and an 8.7% first-read share. I don't see either of these metrics continuing as his norm moving forward unless there's an injury or underlying reason that hasn't been shared publicly by the team. The Raiders utilized single high on 53.8% of their defensive snaps in Week 1. Last year, Andrews was second on the team in target share (18.5%) and first-read share (20.3%) against a single high. Last year against single-high, among 40 qualifying tight ends, Andrews ranked fifth in separation score and second in route win rate. Last season, the Raiders allowed the ninth-most receptions to tight ends while ranking 17th in fantasy points allowed to slot tight ends.
