Andrews is a tricky evaluation. His numbers declined across the board last year, and he’ll turn 31 before this season kicks off.
But he also has a clear path to finish second in targets on a Ravens offense that should bounce back with a healthy Lamar Jackson.
Andrews carries a relatively wide range of 2026 outcomes, but he’s worth a shot if you can get him outside the top 10 TEs in your draft.
Customize Andrews’ projection for your exact league settings inside the Draft War Room.
Andrews caught 48 balls for 422 yards and 5 TDs in 17 games last season, finishing 25th among TEs in PPR points per game and 24th in half-PPR.
Andrews was volatile week to week, finishing as a top-5 PPR TE three times but falling outside the top-24 on 10 occasions.
Andrews played 62.2% of Baltimore’s offensive snaps and ran a route on 62.9% of pass plays. That latter mark ranked 22nd among TEs.
Andrews’ 67 targets ranked 19th at the position; his 15.9% target share 18th.
He was more involved near the end zone, ranking:
Still, Andrews finished just 22nd among TEs in expected PPR and half-PPR points per game.
Among 38 TEs with 40+ targets last year, Andrews ranked:
The Ravens ran one of the league’s run-heaviest offenses last year, ranking 32nd in pass rate (48.0%) and 31st in neutral pass rate (48.1%). Baltimore also finished 29th in plays per game (57.3).
The result was a league-low 24.8 passes per game, 2.8 fewer than any other team and 3.3 fewer than Baltimore averaged in any of its previous four seasons.
The Ravens also played four games without Lamar Jackson. Andrews was better in fantasy with Jackson, although that was entirely because of TDs.
13 games with Jackson
4 games without Jackson
Andrews registered career lows in multiple metrics last season:
Andrews averaged 39.6 yards per game in 2024 after topping 50 in each of the previous five seasons.
His yards per route and PFF receiving grades had remained strong before last year. As recently as 2024, he ranked sixth in yards per route and fourth in PFF grade among 36 qualifying TEs.
Andrews will turn 31 a few days before the start of the season. According to our aging-curve research, we should expect 80-85% of peak production from a 31-year-old TE. That’s down from 85-90% at age-30.
Andrews has played all 17 games in two straight seasons. He missed seven games in 2023 with a fractured fibula and has also dealt with shoulder and ankle injuries over his eight NFL seasons.
The Ravens lost TE Isaiah Likely to the Giants in free agency this offseason. Likely ran a route on 53.3% of pass plays and averaged 2.6 targets on a 10.4% share across his 14 games last season.
Andrews’ route rate climbed from 61.6% to 68.8% in the three games without Likely, but his target share actually sank from 16.5% to 13.2%.
We’d chalk that up to small-sample noise, though, and consider Likely’s departure good news for Andrews’ 2026 outlook.
The Ravens also lost TE Charlie Kolar in free agency. He saw just 15 targets last year but played 39.6% of the offensive snaps. Baltimore only added Day 3 rookies Matthew Hibner and Josh Cuevas to the TE room.
The WR corps is also thin behind Zay Flowers. Rashod Bateman and rookies Ja’Kobi Lane and Elijah Sarratt don’t look like big target earners this season.
Andrews is the favorite to finish second among Ravens in targets this year, and Baltimore backed that up with a 3-year, $39 million extension last December (albeit under the previous coaching staff).
John Harbaugh’s 18-year run as HC ended when Baltimore fired him in January. He’ll be replaced by HC Jesse Minter, who brought in OC Declan Doyle.
Minter has a defensive background, so Doyle will run the offense. The 30-year-old has no experience calling plays at any level, so he’s a wildcard.
Doyle does come from a nice coaching tree, though. He spent five years working under Sean Payton (three in New Orleans as offensive assistant, two in Denver as TEs coach) and then served as Bears OC under Ben Johnson last season.
“We think Mark is one of the best players in the league at that position,” HC Jesse Minter said in March. “It's a major focal point of our offense.”
Andrews is a good bet to finish second among Ravens in targets this year. If the offense bounces back with a healthy Lamar Jackson and new OC, Andrews could score as a top-8 fantasy TE.
2025 was Andrews’ worst pro season by most metrics, and he’ll be 31 this fall. Even with a clear path to targets, he might not have enough left to deliver more than mid-range TE2 numbers.

Ravens Find Potential No. 2 TE in Matthew Hibner
Ravens Find Potential No. 2 TE in Matthew Hibner
The Baltimore Ravens selected SMU TE Matthew Hibner in Round 4 of the NFL Draft. Hibner started his career at Michigan, playing primarily special teams, before transferring to SMU. He achieved career highs going 31-436-4 for the Mustangs. Among the 27 TEs invited to the NFL Combine, Hibner ranked third in average depth of target (8.8) and 20th in 2025 yards per route run (1.37). He ranked 18th in 2025 market share of receptions (12.9%) and 12th in market share of receiving yards (18.3%).
Isaiah Likely Lands First Starting Gig
Isaiah Likely Lands First Starting Gig
The Giants are expected to sign TE Isaiah Likely. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that he's getting a three-year deal worth $40 million, "with upside to $47.5M." Likely spent his first four seasons with the Ravens after arriving as a fourth-round pick in 2022. This is his first shot at free agency.
Declan Doyle Taking Over Ravens Offense
Declan Doyle Taking Over Ravens Offense
The Ravens hired Declan Doyle as their new OC. The 29-year-old is the same age as QB Lamar Jackson, three years younger than RB Derrick Henry, and becomes the youngest play-caller in the NFL. Doyle has been in the NFL for the past seven years, working under Sean Payton in New Orleans and Denver before joining Ben Johnson’s staff as OC in Chicago last season. Doyle brings a strong résumé but no play-calling experience at any level, which makes projecting his fantasy impact tricky. We’ll be listening closely for clues on Doyle’s plans this offseason. For now, it’s safe to assume Baltimore’s offense will still run through Jackson and Henry.
Ravens Fire John Harbaugh
Ravens Fire John Harbaugh
The Ravens fired HC John Harbaugh, according to multiple reports. It ends an 18-year run for Harbaugh in Baltimore. The Ravens went 180-113 during his tenure, making the playoffs in 12 of 18 years. But they underwhelmed in the postseason, with a 13-11 record and just one Super Bowl. Baltimore won only three playoff games over the last 11 years and failed to qualify in 2025. There were also whispers of unrest between Harbaugh and QB Lamar Jackson. OC Todd Monken, who has already booked an interview for the Browns' HC job, is a virtual lock to be out of Baltimore too. It'll be a brand new staff for Jackson and Co. in 2026.
Lamar Jackson INACTIVE
Lamar Jackson INACTIVE
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (back) is officially inactive for tonight's game vs. the Packers. QB Tyler Huntley gets the start in his place. Huntley's rushing ability makes him a low-end option in superflex leagues, but he's a significant downgrade for the passing game. WR Zay Flowers is the only viable fantasy starter among Ravens pass catchers.
