Mark Andrews

Mark Andrews enters 2026 as a familiar but slightly discounted fantasy tight end: still talented enough to matter, but no longer priced like a weekly difference-maker. The current outlook points to Baltimore’s offense leaning on him as the clear No. 2 target behind the top receiver option, and several recent projections still view him as a viable TE1 if you can get him after the top tier is gone.

The biggest reason for optimism is role. Andrews remains tied to a Ravens passing game that could rebound if Lamar Jackson is healthy and the offense settles in under the new coordinator, and that kind of bounce-back environment is exactly what can push him back toward midrange TE1 production. Recent fantasy previews also note that his age and declining weekly ceiling are pushing him down draft boards, but his touchdown upside still keeps him in the conversation as a value pick.

The main concern is consistency. Recent fantasy notes say he finished as a weekly top-12 tight end in fewer than 20% of his games, which is a reminder that even when he is healthy, the floor can be frustrating. That makes him more appealing as a draft-and-hope option than as a tight end you should count on every week, especially if your league heavily rewards steady target volume.

For 2026, Andrews looks best as a solid TE1/TE2 hybrid: not the elite force he once was, but still someone who can beat his draft cost if Baltimore’s passing game clicks. A realistic expectation is a strong bounce-back season in catches and scores rather than a true league-winning spike, with his value hinging on whether he stays healthy and remains a major red-zone piece.
