Mark Andrews's fantasy role in Week 10
Mark Andrews goes into Week 10 of the 2026 season as a bench stash most leagues are holding for the BAL. He is rostered in 58% of leagues and actually started in 17% of them, and we rank him TE35 on our own weekly board at 3 projected points.
Interest is cooling — roster rates slipped roughly 3% in the last week, so he is getting cheaper to acquire if you believe in the role.
No injury designation to work around right now, which keeps his projection honest.
Week 10 matchup breakdown
The matchup: vs LAC. Our Pepper Meter heat rating for this spot is 1 out of 5, which is how we grade the combination of role, projection and opponent difficulty.
Against a typical starting TE baseline of 7 points, his 3-point projection is 4 points short. That gap is the whole start/sit argument in one number.
How to play it
Sit Mark Andrews in Week 10 if you have a real alternative — 3 projected points lands 4 under the TE starter line.
If you are deciding between him and another TE, compare projections first, then lean on the Pepper Meter heat rating as the tiebreaker.
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Mark Andrews (BAL TE), our TE35 this week for Week 10 of the 2026 NFL season vs LAC, projecting 3.0 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally's honest about it: 4 points under the starter line isn't the ceiling she chases. He's being dropped at a 2.9% clip, and I don't think the market is wrong about it. 17% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. He grades 57% below the average weekly TE number, which is a floor problem more than a ceiling one. The Pepper Meter cools him to Mild, and that reading is doing its job.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Mark Andrews (BAL TE), our TE35 this week for Week 10 of the 2026 NFL season vs LAC, projecting 3.0 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Tina would rather take the cheaper, steadier option than 4 points of shortfall. Roster share is bleeding 2.9% this week, which lines up with what the projection already told me. 17% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. Nothing in the projection defends him — 57% below positional par is a bench line for me. The Pepper Meter cools him to Mild, and that reading is doing its job.
