Mark Andrews or Wan'Dale Robinson: Who Should You Start?
2026 Week 1 · deterministic head-to-head · Verdicts based on PPR scoring.
Start Andrews: the touchdown environment beats Robinson's volume edge
Start Mark Andrews: both are viable starts, but Baltimore's stronger scoring environment and Andrews' TE10 standing give him the edge. Wan'Dale Robinson owns the better workload, yet his 91% role and 29% target share mainly create a sturdy PPR floor rather than the same touchdown access. Andrews' red-zone mismatch profile makes the Ravens' implied scoring edge more actionable, while the near-identical projections are noise across positions. The risk is Andrews' 62% snap role; Robinson can win if that limited usage produces another quiet target day.
What flips it: A healthy Robinson retaining his full-time workload while Andrews remains capped near 62%.

Why Mark Andrews
Start· mediumTE1 and red-zone mismatch. Veteran seam-stretcher with strong hands and quarterback rapport.
TE10 with a 17% target share on a 26.5-point implied total — Andrews is a clear TE1 play with no injury designation.
- His red-zone mismatch role turns Baltimore's scoring edge into touchdown access, not just empty yardage.
- The danger is playing time: a 62% role leaves less margin for a quiet target day.
The call
- Consensus TE10 at 10.1 projected points clears the weekly bar in a 12-team league, where the replacement-level tight end is a coin flip for single digits.
- A 17% target share is legitimate TE1 volume, and the 62% snap share reflects a role concentrated in the passing game rather than blocking snaps.
- Baltimore's 26.5 implied total and a 3.5-point favorite line point to an efficient, scoring-friendly script — Andrews' red-zone value is the tiebreaker at this position.
- No injury designation, so the only real risk is touchdown variance if the offense leans on the run while ahead.
Why Wan'Dale Robinson
Start· mediumStarting slot WR in a crowded receiver room. Twitchy short-to-intermediate separator who works underneath on volume.
29% target share on 91% of snaps is elite PPR volume — Robinson is a floor flex play even with a modest 10.4-point projection.
- Robinson's underneath slot work can pile up PPR catches even if Tennessee's offense stalls.
- His volume is the strongest counter: one normal target-heavy game can beat Andrews.
The call
- A 29% target share across 16 games is top-tier volume for any receiver; in full PPR that catch floor plays up well above his WR38 consensus rank.
- 91% snap share means he's never off the field — no rotational or game-script risk to his role as the WR-2 and primary underneath option.
- Vegas has the offense as a 3-point favorite with a 21.3 implied total: a neutral-to-positive script that keeps the passing volume steady without forcing a shootout.
- The knock is efficiency, not opportunity — his 10.4 projection reflects short-area targets, so he's a PPR flex rather than a ceiling play in standard scoring.
