TE14 with elite historical target share; route share at 62.9% has room to climb.

Andrews is a name the source would only draft after missing out on the top tier of tight ends, and his 2025 season looked rough on the surface: 48 catches, 422 yards, five touchdowns, 8.8 yards per catch, 6.0 yards per target, and 1.23 yards per route run. Context matters: Baltimore's passing offense struggled with its quarterback missing time and not being fully healthy for large stretches, and the receiver room behind the team's top wideout remains unproven. The historical signal is strong. Across the starting quarterback's seven full seasons in Baltimore, the team's tight ends have ranked first, fifth, first, first, tenth, fourth, and fourth in share of team targets—a remarkably consistent trend toward heavy tight end usage. With the team's other pass-catching tight end now gone, Andrews is set up to receive the lion's share of those targets. The team's other offseason tight end additions include a blocking specialist and a rookie whose college production wasn't especially exciting, meaning there's no real competition for touches. Andrews is currently going around TE14, making him viewed as one of the best punt options at the position: cheap enough to cut early if he's genuinely declined, but with real mid-range TE1 upside if the opportunity and track record hold. He ran a route on just 62.9% of dropbacks last season, ranking 22nd among tight ends in route share, a number both analysts expect to climb significantly now that the other pass-catching tight end is gone. Among 40 qualifying tight ends last season, Andrews ranked 11th in separation score and sixth in route win rate, supporting that he isn't finished.
