TE MARK ANDREWS, BALTIMORE RAVENS: UNDER 4.5 RECEPTIONS (+105)
Baltimore heads into this Week 14 AFC North showdown as the most injured team in the NFL based on wins above replacement (WAR) lost due to injury. The Ravens defense is the most injured unit in the NFL, but Baltimore's offensive line is not far behind.
Cleveland Browns defensive linemen Myles Garrett and Jadeveon Clowney should live in the Ravens’ backfield, as Tyre Phillips and Alejandro Villanueva have recorded the 66th- and 75th-best pass-blocking grade at the tackle position this season. If Cleveland terrorizes Lamar Jackson with some early pressure, Andrews could be forced to pass protect for the first time this season.
Even if Andrews continues to run a high percentage of routes, there is no guarantee that he will receive close to double-digit targets for the sixth straight week. Cleveland is tied for the third-best coverage grade as a unit in the NFL and held Andrews under this number when these two teams met two weeks ago. Given the extenuating circumstances that Baltimore faces in this matchup, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see the Browns shut down the Ravens' entire offense on Sunday. Andrews finishing under 4.5 receptions at a plus price looks like one of the best ways for that narrative to play out.
