News: 5 days agoAndrews secured both targets for 19 yards in the Ravens' 33-10 loss to the Jaguars on Thursday night.

Spin: The veteran tight end actually led the Ravens in receiving yards with his modest total, as fill-in signal-caller Joe Fagnano averaged just 3.3 yards per attempt and totaled 60 passing yards overall. Andrews opened the season with back-to-back 49-yard tallies on 10 total catches, but he's been stuck at 28 receiving yards or fewer in his seven subsequent games. Andrews will hope to benefit from the pending trade acquisition of Jacoby Brissett, who should bring some stability and productivity to Baltimore's currently embattled quarterback situation.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: One of fantasy's biggest mysteries, Andrews' usage has dipped substantially over the past two seasons. After finishing in the top five in fantasy PPG five seasons in a row from 2019 to 2023, Andrews slipped to eighth in 2024 (it would've been much worse if not for 11 touchdowns on 68 targets) and fell even further to 24th last season. Andrews appeared in all 17 of Baltimore's games but ranked 18th among tight ends in targets and outside the top 20 in catches and yards. The combination of a new coaching staff, a healthy Lamar Jackson and the departure of Isaiah Likely could lead to a rebound season for Andrews, but we now have two straight seasons of underperformance. The 31-year-old remains a force near the goal line (top 10 in end zone targets seven years in a row), but he's now more of a fringe TE1 than a fantasy star.
