Expect plenty of offence when the Baltimore Ravens meet the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday Night Football.
The pregame narrative: These two defences struggle to stop the pass, so naturally, I’m looking for pass-catchers to go over their receiving yards props. Mark Andrews and Zay Flowers are both good picks to usurp their totals in primetime.

Best Bet: Andrews over 27.5 receiving yards (-114)
Andrews seems to be settling back into being his reliable, effective self in Baltimore’s offence.
It was fair to worry about the veteran tight end through the early portion of the season. He failed to register a single catch in two of the Ravens’ first four games of the season, finishing with fewer than 15 receiving yards in three of those contests.
But as the Ravens find themselves playing in high-scoring games, Lamar Jackson has looked the way of the trusted veteran.
Andrews has 121 receiving yards in his last two contests and stares down a juicy matchup in Week 7.
The Buccaneers are among the worst teams in the league at covering tight ends. They’re ceding the third-most receiving yards per game (51.5) to the position, according to Yahoo Fantasy.
Bet on Andrews to stay hot and top a very manageable number in Week 7.
Key stat: Tampa Bay is allowing the fourth-most passing yards per game in the NFL this season (252.3).
Quick pick
Flowers over 61.5 receiving yards (-113): Andrews won’t be the only Ravens receiver racking up the yards on Monday Night Football.
Flowers should be very busy in a very concentrated Baltimore passing attack. The second-year wide receiver is the only player on the team averaging more than 50 receiving yards per game (66.8).
The matchup is juicy, too, as the Bucs are ceding the eighth-most receiving yards per game (163.8) to wide receivers.
Tampa Bay has struggled against opposing top pass catches recently. Here’s how No. 1 wide receivers have done in recent outings.

| Drake London | 12 catches, 154 receiving yards |
| Bub Means | 5 catches, 45 receiving yards |
Flowers is blowing past this line in recent outings, totalling 243 receiving yards in his last two contests.
