Mark Andrews or Tony Pollard: Who Should You Start?

The call

• Baltimore's 26.5 implied team total as a 3.5-point favorite means plenty of scoring chances, and Andrews is the one target who converts those trips inside the 10.
• A 17% target share on 62% of snaps is a route-running specialist's usage — he's not a blocker padding volume, he's the designed passing-game piece.
• TE15 and 10.1 projected points is exactly the tier where touchdown equity breaks ties, and Andrews carries more of it than almost anyone ranked near him.
• Risk is the 62% snap share capping his floor if Baltimore grinds out a lead on the ground — he's a start, not a set-and-forget.

The call

• Pollard holds the starter's edge, but the Yahoo report describes an intentional snap split with Tyjae Spears heavily involved in the passing game — that's a hard ceiling on a 63% snap share.
• An 8% target share means his PPR value is almost entirely carries and touchdowns; he needs the run script rather than catches to hit 11.5.
• Vegas helps: Tennessee is favored by 3.0 with a 21.3 implied total, so late-game clock-killing work is in play if the Titans lead.
• RB28 with no injury designation makes him a defensible flex, but he's a bench-over-any-top-24-RB call; if Spears' passing-game role expands early, Pollard's touch count shrinks fast.
