Game Scripts

The Ravens are entering this game as slim 3 point road favorites with a strong projected team total of 26.0 points, the 5th highest among all 28 teams on the week 10 slate. The narrow spread suggests a balanced offensive approach while the strong projected team total suggests plenty of touchdown opportunities. Ravens at Vikings has a healthy over/under of 48.5 points, suggesting a sliver of shootout potential if the Vikings can exceed their modest scoring expectations.

The Saints are entering this game as uncomfortable 5 point road underdogs with a dangerously low projected team total of 17.0 points, the 3rd fewest among all 28 teams on the week 10 slate. The uncomfortable spread suggests a potentially pass-heavy approach while the dangerously low projected team total suggests touchdown opportunities will be severely limited.

Positional Matchups

After 8 games, the Vikings present a friendly matchup for TEs, allowing the 13th most catches, 14th most yards, 8th most touchdowns and 10th most PPR points per game.

After 9 games, the Panthers present a mediocre matchup for TEs, holding them to the 16th fewest touchdowns while allowing the 16th most catches, 7th most yards and 13th most PPR points per game.

Mark Andrews: Bottom Line

I expect Mark Andrews to finish, on average, around 8–12 PPR points on ~4–7 targets (~3–5 catches, ~35–55 yards) with 0–1 TD.

Juwan Johnson: Bottom Line

I expect Juwan Johnson to finish, on average, around 9–13 PPR points on ~6–9 targets, ~4–6 catches, ~40–60 yards, and 0–1 TD in a negative-script spot with Shaheed’s vacated volume helping.

Should you start Mark Andrews or Juwan Johnson?

In a full point PPR setting, volume can help float some bad game environments - and Juwan Johnson should definitely see a volume boost here. If you're playing in anything less than a full point PPR, or if you're feeling like you're going to need massive ceiling production, then I'd be playing Mark Andrews.
