Andrews recorded four catches on six targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 17-3 loss to the Rams.
The positive for Andrews was that he remained involved in the Baltimore offense, finishing tied for second on the team in targets. He was unable to convert that into much production while catching passes from the combination of Cooper Rush and Tyler Huntley, with his longest gain going for only nine yards. The outlook for all Ravens pass catchers should improve with the anticipated return of Lamar Jackson (hamstring) in Week 8 following the team's bye, though Andrews could lose out on opportunity to more explosive options such as Rashod Bateman and Isaiah Likely.

Ravens' Mark Andrews: Sit Tight Ends
Rotowire
In his first start with Cooper Rush in place of the injured Lamar Jackson (hamstring) in Week 5 against Houston, Andrews struggled with two catches for 22 yards on three targets. He will likely struggle again in Week 6 against the Rams, and I don't want to trust Andrews until Jackson is back on the field. I would only start Andrews in deeper leagues in Week 6, and hopefully Jackson is back in Week 8 when Baltimore is done with its bye.

Ravens' Mark Andrews: Limited by quarterback play
Rotowire
Andrews recorded two receptions on three targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 44-10 loss to the Texans.
The Ravens were able to muster very little offense with Cooper Rush at the helm, and Andrews' line suffered. There were still a few positives to take away from his role, as he tied for second on the team in targets and was more involved than Isaiah Likely. Lamar Jackson's (hamstring) potential return in Week 6 would significantly improve Andrews' outlook.

Ravens' Mark Andrews: Sit Tight Ends
Rotowire
Andrews has scored at least 10 PPR points in each of his past two games against Detroit and Kansas City, and he has 14 targets over that span for 13 catches, 121 yards and two touchdowns. Lamar Jackson (hamstring) is out for Week 5, and I don't want to trust Andrews as a No. 1 Fantasy tight end with Cooper Rush as the starter in Baltimore. Along with that, Houston is No. 7 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends, and the Texans have allowed just one touchdown to a tight end this season, which was Davis Allen for the Rams in Week 1.

Ravens' Mark Andrews: Targeted eight times
Rotowire
Andrews recorded seven receptions on eight targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 37-20 loss to Kansas City.
Andrews maintained increased involvement in Baltimore's offense, and he has 13 catches on 14 targets across the last two weeks. However, his production Sunday wasn't particularly strong, as his longest reception went for only seven yards. Andrews' ability to command targets -- particularly with Isaiah Likely back in the mix -- is a positive, but his ability to consistently make explosive plays appears to be behind him, and the upside of the entire Ravens passing game could take a hit if Lamar Jackson (hamstring) misses time.

Ravens' Mark Andrews: Bust Alert (Start/Sit)
Rotowire
Andrews was awesome in Week 3 against Detroit with six catches for 91 yards and two touchdowns on six targets. Prior to that, he combined for two catches for 7 yards on four targets in the first two games of the season. We'll see if Isaiah Likely (foot) will make his season debut in Week 4, but Andrews should only be considered a low-end starter in the majority of leagues. The Chiefs are No. 3 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends, and Andrews has only 13 catches for 108 yards and no touchdowns in his past five games against Kansas City in the regular season.

Ravens' Mark Andrews: Springs to life in Week 3 loss
Rotowire
Andrews brought in all six targets for 91 yards and two touchdowns in the Ravens' 38-30 loss to the Lions on Monday night.
Another disappointing high-scoring loss for the Ravens took center stage, but Andrews' individual performance was a highlight, especially for frustrated fantasy managers. The veteran led Baltimore in receptions and receiving yards, and he rounded out his night with touchdown grabs of 14 and 27 yards in the second half. Andrews' numbers were easily season highs across the board, and he'll likely need to contribute in a similar capacity for the Ravens to emerge with a much-needed win from a Week 4 road matchup against the Chiefs on Sunday.

Ravens' Mark Andrews: TEs to Sit
Rotowire
Andrews is always going to feel like a threat to score a touchdown, but he's been non-existent so far this season with two catches for 7 yards on four targets against Buffalo and Cleveland. It's tough to trust him at this point, and the Lions have done well so far against the Packers and Bears tight ends, holding them to a combined six catches for 51 yards and a touchdown on nine targets.

Ravens' Mark Andrews: Just one reception Sunday
Rotowire
Andrews hauled in his lone target for five yards in Sunday's 41-40 loss to Buffalo.
Andrews was inexplicably absent from the scoring parade on a night where the Ravens dropped a 40-burger. Perhaps the veteran tight end was still dealing with the undisclosed injury that kept him out of preseason action. Whatever the case, Andrews missed a prime opportunity to operate as the top tight end with Isaiah Likely (foot) sitting this one out. The latter could return as soon as next Sunday's tilt against the Browns, but Andrews didn't inspire confidence in fantasy managers even if Likely misses a second consecutive game.

Ravens' Mark Andrews: TEs to Start
Rotowire
Isaiah Likely (foot) isn't expected to play in Week 1 against the Bills, and this game should be a shootout, which gives Andrews top-five upside in all leagues. Last year, Likely missed Week 10 against the Bengals, and Andrews had six catches for 68 yards and a touchdown on seven targets. I'm hopeful Lamar Jackson will lean on Andrews again, and he's always a threat to score. With Likely out, I'll take Andrews over his receptions prop at 4.5 on FanDuel.

Ravens' Mark Andrews: Back at practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Andrews (undisclosed) is participating in Wednesday's practice, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Andrews didn't practice Monday, but if he was dealing with any sort of injury, it appears it was only minor. Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta said Wednesday that he expects Isaiah Likely (foot) to be "back in the early part of the season," per Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com, but it remains to be seen whether Likely will be a candidate to return in time to suit up Week 1 versus the Bills. If Likely misses any regular-season games, Andrews will figure to see an uptick in targets and snaps while Charlie Kolar steps into the No. 2 tight end role.

Ravens' Mark Andrews: Misses practice Monday
Rotowire
Andrews (undisclosed) missed practice Monday, Clifton Brown of the Ravens' official site reports.
While coach John Harbaugh didn't specify why Andrews was sidelined Monday, he noted that the tight end is expected to work next week, when the Ravens begin their practice preparations ahead of Week 1. With that in mind, Andrews' status now is worth monitoring, along with that of fellow TE Isaiah Likely, who continues to deal with a foot injury that leaves his status for the regular-season opener uncertain.

Ravens' Mark Andrews: Heads into contract year
Rotowire
As training camp approaches, Andrews is slated to reprise his key role in a tight-end corps that also includes Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kolar, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Jamison Hensley of ESPN noted ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft that there was some speculation the Ravens might consider dealing Andrews, who is entering the final year of a four-year, $56 million contract. However, the team will return its top three tight ends after all, led by Andrews -- who logged a 55/673/11 receiving line (on 69 targets) in 17 regular-season games in 2024 -- and Likely, who recorded a 42/477/6 mark in 16 contests. Considering the continued presence of Likely and the addition of veteran wideout DeAndre Hopkins, Andrews isn't likely to reach the level of volume (113 targets) he enjoyed as recently as 2022, but the 29-year-old maintains fantasy utility nonetheless, even if he's no longer viewed as a top-tier option at his position.

Ravens' Mark Andrews: Staying in Charm City
Rotowire
Andrews' $4 million roster bonus for the 2025 season triggered Sunday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
The roster bonus was due on the fifth day of the new league year, and the Ravens have made the expected move to keep him around in Baltimore for an eighth season to begin his career. The veteran tight end had a rough end to this past campaign during the team's 27-25 divisional-round loss at Buffalo, but he recorded a career-best 11 touchdowns in the 2024 regular season among his 55 receptions. Andrews, who turns 30 in September, will remain one of the key targets for QB Lamar Jackson for at least one more year.

Ravens' Mark Andrews: Has support of GM
Rotowire
Ravens GM Eric DeCosta said Tuesday that he loves having Andrews on the team, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports. "We'll figure out all the roster machinations in the coming weeks," DeCosta said. "But nobody is a bigger Mark Andrews fan than me."
DeCosta also said Andrews eventually will be in the franchise's Ring of Honor, alongside the likes of Ed Reed and Ray Lewis. The GM stopped short of promising that Andrews will be with the team in 2025 -- something that came into question after his lost fumble and dropped two-point conversion in a playoff loss to the Bills. Andrews has one year remaining on his contract, with $11 million in non-guaranteed compensation consisting of a $4 million roster bonus (due on the fifth day of the league year) and a $7 million base salary. That's a bargain for the Ravens given Andrews' track record, but there are other factors to consider, namely his reduced playing time in 2024 (61.4 percent snap share), his age (30 in September), his playoff struggles (zero TD, 315 yards in eight games) and the presence of Isaiah Likely (42-477-6 receiving line in 2024) on the roster. The timing of Andrews' bonus in mid-March means it probably won't be long before it becomes clear if he's staying in Baltimore.

Ravens' Mark Andrews: Key mistakes in playoff loss
Rotowire
Andrews secured five of seven targets for 61 yards and lost a fumble in the Ravens' 27-25 divisional-round loss to the Bills on Sunday. He also rushed twice for three yards.
In a literal sense, the Ravens' latest playoff exit can essentially be pinned on Andrews, whose fumble at the Bills' 44-yard line with 8:50 remaining following a 16-yard reception helped set up a key Buffalo field goal. However, Baltimore battled back and was in position to tie the game at 27-27 following a 24-yard-touchdown reception by Isaiah Likely with 1:33 left, but Andrews dropped a catchable two-point conversion pass from Lamar Jackson to end the Ravens' hopes. The veteran tight end otherwise had a solid game in which he logged team-high figures in receptions and targets, and he also recorded a career-high 11 touchdown grabs on a 55-673 receiving line over 17 regular-season contests while playing out the penultimate campaign of a four-year, $56 million contract.

Ravens' Mark Andrews: Helps push team to next round
Rotowire
Andrews had two receptions on three targets for 27 yards while taking two carries for five yards in Saturday's wild-card round win over the Steelers.
Andrews has recorded short rushing attempts this season as the Ravens emulate the Eagles' "tush push" as made famous by Jalen Hurts during the team's Super Bowl run in 2022. The veteran tight end saw his number called twice Saturday in order to convert two short fourth-and-short attempts. Andrews' final stat line wasn't very appealing from a fantasy perspective, despite his positive impact on the playoff game's result.

Ravens' Mark Andrews: Another TD grab Wednesday
Rotowire
Andrews brought in both targets for 68 yards and a touchdown in the Ravens' 31-2 win over the Texans on Wednesday.
Andrews led the Ravens in receiving yards, with his 67-yard grab late in the first half representing the bulk of the damage. His yardage total tied the season high he previously set in Week 10, and his one-yard touchdown catch in the latter portion of the third quarter extended his streak with a scoring reception to five games.

Andrews brought in both targets for 24 yards and a touchdown in the Ravens' 35-14 win over the Giants on Sunday.
Andrews' 13-yard scoring grab late in the first quarter had extra significance, as it made the veteran tight end the Ravens' all-time leader in touchdown catches with 48. Andrews was quiet the remainder of the afternoon, but he's now scored in three straight games heading into a Week 16 home matchup against the Steelers on Saturday afternoon.

Ravens' Mark Andrews: Gets into end zone Monday
Rotowire
Andrews brought in all five targets for 44 yards and a touchdown in the Ravens' 30-23 win over the Chargers on Monday night. He also rushed once for two yards.
Andrews finished tied with Zay Flowers for the team lead in receptions while checking in second to his teammate in both receiving yards and targets. The veteran tight end was the only one among he and position mate Isaiah Likely to record any catches Monday, and he's now posted multiple receptions in eight straight games after back-to-back blankings in Weeks 3 and 4. Andrews' six-yard touchdown catch early in the fourth quarter served as his sixth score of the season, all which have come in the last seven contests. Andrews should be teed up for another key role during a Week 13 home matchup against the Eagles.
