Outlook Mark Andrews
Mark Andrews at Cleveland — Tough Division Test Without Lamar Jackson
Andrews remains Baltimore's lead tight end and vowed to bounce back following a rocky performance against Atlanta, having commanded 12 targets over his last two games. With Lamar Jackson officially ruled out due to an ankle injury, veteran backup Tyler Huntley will direct the offense in Cleveland.
This matchup projects as a low-scoring defensive battle, which limits Baltimore's passing upside. Still, with tight ends Durham Smythe and Matt Hibner sidelined, Andrews should dominate tight-end snaps and serve as Huntley's top safety valve. We project Andrews for 4.3 catches and 36 yards (9.9 fantasy points), keeping him in the low-end TE1 conversation even as his start rate has dropped to 38%.

Outlook Darius Cooper
Darius Cooper vs. Carolina — Touchdown-dependent upside meets backup quarterback reality
Darius Cooper has emerged as an improbable big-play threat, scoring four touchdowns on just seven receptions this season, including a 62-yard strike last week. Operating as a rotational outside receiver, Cooper has capitalized on limited opportunities, but Philadelphia's offense faces major uncertainty with starting quarterback Jalen Hurts ruled out due to a calf injury.
While Cooper's roster rate has climbed to 22%, starting him remains risky in a projected low-scoring defensive battle with backup Tanner McKee under center. Our weekly projection lands him at 2.2 receptions for 28 yards (6.4 fantasy points), leaving him as a touchdown-reliant dart throw suited only for deeper leagues.
