Mark Andrews, TE, Baltimore Ravens (at CIN)
One of the more baffling decisions you will see from an NFL team is the extension the Baltimore Ravens just gave Mark Andrews. The once elite tight end is on his last legs. I would be stunned if he remained on the team for the duration of his deal. He is completely washed.
With that said, nothing matters when facing the Cincinnati Bengals, a defense that has a moral opposition to covering tight ends.
The Bengals are not just bad against tight ends; they are historically bad. Never in the history of football has the gap between the team allowing the most fantasy points per game to the position and the second most been this large.
Last week, I recommended Dalton Kincaid. That worked out because he scored, but it was actually Dawson Knox who smashed. Two weeks ago, Andrews was on this list against the Bengals the first time around. He was merely fine, as Isaiah Likely smashed. Here’s to hoping we don’t get burned by the TE2 outproducing the TE1 for a third straight week.
Theo Johnson, TE, New York Giants (vs. WAS)
Prior to the New York Giants’ Week 14 bye, Theo Johnson had a middling game with three receptions for 29 yards. On the surface, it’s nothing to really care about. But Johnson saw eight targets in that contest. Jaxson Dart looked for him frequently against a Patriots defense that is middle of the pack against tight ends.
This week, the Giants get a Commanders team allowing the second-most fantasy points per game to the position. It is worth noting that the second and seventh-worst teams against tight ends are packed pretty tightly together. This is still a favorable matchup, though.
Wan’Dale Robinson remains the top option in the passing game. But there is no clear No. 2. In a game that could be a sneaky shootout between two teams playing out lost seasons, Johnson is a very viable streamer this week.
