STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Andrews' 26.1% target rate and 79.3% route share are career highs, but dependent on Flowers' absence.

Mark Andrews showed significant role expansion in Week 1 with a 26.1% target per route run rate, much higher than any of the last three seasons; he also posted a 79.3% route participation rate in Week 1, up from less than 70% in each of the previous two seasons. However, his usage spike was heavily dependent on Zay Flowers' injury: in the first half when Flowers was healthy, Andrews had an 18.8% target per route run rate, but in the second half with Flowers out, he jumped to 42.9% target per route run rate. Jacoby Lane's injury also contributed to the increased targets.
