Dead last in YAC per reception; cooked despite Lamar's TE history.

The source presents conflicting takes on Andrews. While initially arguing he is a worthwhile target if you punt tight end early—noting that in Lamar Jackson's seven full seasons as a starter, Ravens tight ends have ranked in percentage of team targets as follows: first, fifth, first, first, tenth, fourth, and fourth, showing Lamar enjoys throwing to tight ends, and that Isaiah Likely is gone so Andrews figures to get a high percentage of Ravens tight end targets—the source ultimately believes Andrews is cooked. Andrews had career lows in receiving yardage, yards per catch, and yards per target last year. More concerning, out of 49 qualifying tight ends, Andrews was dead last in yards after the catch per reception, a metric that has nothing to do with quarterback play and reflects what he does after catching the ball. The source notes that Zach Ertz had more yards after the catch than Andrews despite being a player who can't force a broken tackle. The source prefers other late-round tight ends like Tucker Craft and Chico Conkwo, who offer yards after the catch. Andrews has been out of juice for the last couple of seasons.
