Mark Andrews

Mark Andrews enters the 2026 fantasy football season looking like one of the best rebound bets at tight end. After a quieter 2025 by his standards, he still finished with 48 catches for 422 yards and five touchdowns in 17 games, and Baltimore has already signaled that he remains a major part of the offense.

The biggest reason for optimism is role and opportunity. Recent fantasy analysis points to the departure of Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kolar, which should leave Andrews with a larger share of the Ravens’ tight end usage and more of the high-value end zone work that drives fantasy scoring. Fantasy Life projects him for seven touchdowns in 2026 and notes that he was already seeing a strong share of Baltimore’s end zone targets when Likely was sidelined.

There is still some age-related risk, since Andrews is now 30 and his recent fantasy finishes have been less dominant than his peak years. Even so, the Ravens’ commitment matters: he signed a three-year, $39.3 million extension in December 2025, which is a strong indication that Baltimore still expects him to be central to Lamar Jackson’s passing game. That kind of contract security, combined with a potentially cleaner target tree, makes him easier to trust than most older tight ends.

For fantasy managers, Andrews looks like a strong TE1 target with weekly top-five upside if touchdown volume returns. The floor is a little less exciting than in his peak seasons because Baltimore’s offense can spread the ball around, but his combination of quarterback quality, red-zone usage, and locked-in role makes him a very reasonable pick in 2026 drafts.
