During Lamar Jackson's seven full seasons as the Ravens' starting quarterback, Baltimore's tight ends have ranked first, fifth, first, first, 10th, fourth and fourth in percentage of team targets. Jackson likes throwing to his tight ends, and Andrews no longer has to share tight end targets with Isaiah Likely, who joined the Giants in the offseason.

Andrews averaged just 2.3 catches and 20.9 receiving yards per game over the final seven weeks of last season with zero touchdowns, never hitting double-digit fantasy points and averaging only 3.3 per game. Tight ends like Gunnar Helm, Josh Oliver, and A.J. Barner outscored him from Week 12 onward. Despite potential benefits from new OC Declan Doyle, Isaiah Likely's departure, and Lamar Jackson's rebound, the source views a resurgent season at age 31 as far-fetched. Andrews did not top four catches or 50 receiving yards once after September last season, placing him outside TE1 range for Week 1 and in the "touchdown-or-bust" tier outside the top 12.

Andrews is entering his ninth season in the league and has not topped 700 receiving yards since 2022; he's only scored 10+ TDs twice in his career (2019, 2024). There is a clearer path to targets, involvement, and overall production this season than there was in 2025. Reaching 700 receiving yards is a much more likely threshold than 13 TDs. Fantasy Life's projections have a ceiling outcome of 193 PPR and an actual projection of 157 PPR, suggesting modest upside from the former premier tight end.

Mark Andrews remains one of the most reliable veteran tight ends in fantasy and draws a favorable 5-star matchup against the Indianapolis Colts this week. Lamar Jackson continues to lean on Andrews in crucial situations, especially in the red zone where his touchdown upside remains among the best at the position. When healthy, Andrews commands a strong target share and gives managers a dependable weekly floor. With his combination of volume, scoring potential, and matchup, he deserves strong consideration in starting lineups.

While he can still provide value as a security blanket and chain-mover on third downs, the Ravens are incorporating rookie Matthew Hibner in a larger capacity as the season progresses, suggesting a reduced role for Andrews going forward.

Andrews' route share is expected to rebound in 2026 with Isaiah Likely gone; however, last year he ranked ninth in first-read share among 59 qualifying tight ends while posting underwhelming yards per route run (41st) and first downs per route run (27th). The source expects Andrews could have a nice Week 1 game against Indianapolis, which allowed the fourth-most yards per target and 12th-most fantasy points per opportunity to tight ends, with Lou Anarumo's defenses historically bleeding production to the position.
