Mark Andrews could outperform his current redraft ADP due to his clear path as the Ravens' TE1 and potential for increased passing game opportunities

John Harbaugh didn’t want to engage in a rebuild when he signed on to be the New York Giants head coach. There were other places Harbaugh could have gone if he wanted to completely rebuild a team in his own image. Instead, he went to a Giants team which he believes has a roster that’s close to being competitive. Some viewed that as coach speak when he was hired and were skeptical when it was reported that the new regime only wanted to “tinker” with the roster in free agency. And yet, that came to pass and the Giants didn’t make many splashy free agent signings. That, however, doesn’t mean that the Giants aren’t counting on their newest veteran additions to have an impact both on and off the field. So for this week, we want to know which veteran free agent you think will have the biggest impact on the Giants in 2026. Isaiah Likely (tight end) – Likely is stepping out of Mark Andrews ’ shadow at tight end and will be one of the Giants’ primary receiving options. The belief is that Likely will not only give the Giants another receiving mismatch along side Theo Johnson , but that he’ll fit well with Jaxson Dart ’s penchant for improvisation. Patrick Ricard (fullback) – Ricard followed Harbaugh from Baltimore to the Meadowlands to be an impact player, literally. The fullback was brought in for his familiarity with Greg Roman’s running schemes and to add some added thud to the Giants’ downhill runs. Matt Nagy (and Brian Callahan) could also look to use Ricard as an added blocker or to force defenses into base packages with running looks alongside Likely and Johnson. D.J. Reader (defensive tackle) – The Giants (eventually) signed Reader to be the rock in the middle of the defense after Dexter Lawrence left town. Not only are the Giants signing the long-time vet to improve their depth and interior run defense, they also want him to help enable their linebacking corps. The Giants have one of the longest and most athletic groups of linebackers in the NFL. The hope is that Reader (and at least one more defensive tackle) will be able to occupy blockers and allow those linebackers to take over games. Ar’Darius Washington (safety) – One of the dominos to fall in Harbaugh’s arrival in New York was Washington’s injury in the spring of 2025. He was coming off of a breakout season for the Ravens and looking to become one of the big names at the safety position in the NFL. Modern NFL defenses demand a talented “STAR” to blur the lines between box safety, free safety, and slot corner, and allow the defense to be multiple without constantly shifting subpackages. The Ravens definitely noticed Washington’s absence in 2025 and now the Giants hope he can once again be a multifaceted sparkplug for the defense. Welcome to SB Nation Reacts.

Mark Andrews could see a significant bounce-back in the 2026 season
Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has been impressed by new offensive coordinator Declan Doyle this offseason and Jackson’s immersion into Doyle’s offense has impressed one of the quarterback’s longtime teammates. Tight end Mark Andrews and Jackson as 2018 rookies in Baltimore, so he’s seen Jackson move through different offensive schemes while winning a pair of MVP awards. In an interview with CBSSports.com, Andrews said that Jackson has been “constantly evolving and getting better” over the years and that watching him do that over the last few months has revealed new depths to what Jackson is able to do. “This is a different offense than we’ve been a part of since we got into the league — it’s totally different than anything we’ve done,” Andrews said. “I think [Jackson’s] going to make it his own, adapt to it and be the best that there is. That’s the type of person that he is and that’s the type of guys and coaches that we have. I think that’s a scary sight when you see Lamar Jackson adding new things to his repertoire.” The offseason coaching changes have brought the most significant change to the Ravens’ operations since Jackson and Andrews arrived in Baltimore. If the on-field results match the offseason impressions, the new era in Baltimore will be off to a strong start
It's been a big offseason of change for the Baltimore Ravens : a new coach for the first time in nearly two decades, a new offensive coordinator who is younger than several of the team's players and new schemes on both sides of the ball. But there's plenty of carryover, too, and that includes Lamar Jackson and the player he's completed more passes to than anyone else, Mark Andrews . The 2018 draft classmates -- Jackson a first rounder, Andrews taken in the third -- have been one of the NFL's best quarterback-tight end duos of the last decade. Now, Andrews is excited to see what's next for his quarterback with new offensive coordinator Declan Doyle, who is expected to bring in more under-center formations and other creative ideas. "This is a different offense than we've been a part of since we got into the league -- it's totally different than anything we've done," Andrews told CBS Sports in an interview promoting awareness for diabetic macular edema and regular eye exams. "I think [Jackson's] going to make it his own, adapt to it and be the best that there is. That's the type of person that he is and that's the type of guys and coaches that we have. "I think that's a scary sight when you see Lamar Jackson adding new things to his repertoire." Andrews also praised Jackson for setting a "high bar" for himself and for the team. "This is an ever-changing league, and he's ever-changing himself; that's why he's been so good for so many years," Andrews said. "He's constantly evolving and getting better. But I think the biggest thing is that he's our leader, and he's the guy that we all look to, gravitate towards. We go as he goes." Doyle, 30, served as the Bears ' offensive coordinator last year under Ben Johnson and has had a meteoric rise in the coaching profession. As recently as 2018, he was a student assistant at the University of Iowa. "Sometimes I got to pinch myself to be like, 'This guy's like the same age as as you,'" Andrews said. "Just the way that he carries himself and the way that he teaches and communicates and really just is a student of the game, he loves it. ... This is what he's meant to do." Doyle's work with Jackson, who struggled with injuries in 2025, and the rest of the offense will be crucial to getting Baltimore's attack back on track. Andrews is impressed by Doyle's ability to work with all position groups and appreciates his fondness for tight ends. The Bears ran the third-most plays with multiple tight ends on the field last year, and rookie Colston Loveland emerged as a standout. Andrews also called learning under new tight ends coach Zach Grossi "amazing." Baltimore's most notable coaching change, though, was the firing of John Harbaugh and hiring of Jesse Minter. Harbaugh had been with the organization since 2008, making him the only NFL head coach Andrews had ever known. But Minter, 43, has made a strong first impression. "He has just like calm, cool, swagger, confidence that I think is going to be infectious to everybody within the organization," Andrews said. "So he's just been awesome. Team meetings, everything, any time you can pick his brain, just love the way he carries himself, and that's without saying the way he brings on the defensive side of the ball. You could just tell that those guys are fired up." Andrews, the franchise's all-time leader in receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns, says he feels "stronger than ever" and "fast." He attributes some of that to working out with Derrick Henry , whose offseason workouts have a legend of their own. Andrews' story is plenty impressive, too, though. Diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at 9 years old, Andrews pricks his finger to test his blood sugar roughly 30 times per game and adheres to a strict diet and preparation routine to be at his best on game day. "I think since that age, it's been incredibly important to me to live my life the right way, show people with diabetes that they can do anything they want in life and to [... truncated ...]
Baltimore Ravens new head coach Jesse Minter said that All-Pro running back Derrick Henry will need to adjust to terminology changes this year under new offensive coordinator Declan Doyle, according to Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. The Ravens made some big changes in the offseason, firing long-time head coach John Harbaugh and adding Minter, who will be in his first year as a head coach in the NFL in 2026. Previous offensive coordinator Todd Monken left to become the Cleveland Browns' head coach. Henry and the other Ravens' offensive playmakers have expressed excitement about Doyle's new scheme as they look to bounce back from a frustrating 2025 season that ended without a playoff appearance. The 32-year-old Henry has a lot of tread on his tires after 10 years in the NFL, but he managed his seventh 1,000-yard season (fourth straight) in 2025 and will once again be Baltimore's featured back in his 11th campaign. He's RotoBaller's No. 8 fantasy RB for 2026 and should come off the board in the second round of drafts
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport has reported that the Atlanta Falcons have reached a three-year, $54 million extension with tight end Kyle Pitts, who was previously on a one-year franchise tag that would have paid him $15 million. Over the course of three years, Pitts will now be paid an average of $18 million per year. This is significant for Green Bay Packers fans who have been trying to judge the Tucker Kraft market. George Kittle , at 32 years old, set the top of the tight end market with a $19.1 million per year deal last year. There was some thought that maybe Pitts would be able to push past the Kittle APY, but it looks like Pitts’ camp liked the flexibility of a three-year deal, allowing Pitts to negotiate a new deal a year earlier than if he signed a four-year deal like Kittle’s, than the pure APY number. As of now, here is how the top APYs at the tight end position are laid out for the current NFL: George Kittle: $19.1 million per Trey McBride : $19 million per Kyle Pitts: $18 million per Isaiah Likely : $13.3 million per Kraft’s number will almost certainly come in higher than Likely, who only started in 26 of 53 games that he played on his rookie contract with the Baltimore Ravens . Likely was the TE2 in Baltimore behind Mark Andrews and never had more than 477 receiving yards in a single season (and is known best as a pass-catcher instead of a blocker). The question now is where Kraft will slot in among the top tight ends coming off his 2025 ACL tear. Reports earlier this offseason claimed that the Packers wanted to get a deal done with Kraft before the regular season kicked off. He is probably the next big deal that Green Bay will sign, unless defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt skips him in the pecking order
Between the NFL draft and training camp is a fantastic time to work the trade market in dynasty. Fantasy managers are operating on hopes, dreams, and (worst of all) their own predictions for how players will perform. Folks are using trade market value indicators to make decisions about their rosters, and that can create opportunities for savvy managers to strike and make moves that will not be completed later in the summer or heading into the season. Here are three players to buy low on and three players to sell while the consensus has locked in their value. Most market platforms say the same thing about Tua Tagovailoa : he is done and dusted. That may not be the case, though, which is why he is worth taking a low-risk chance on. The market has Tua ranked 32nd among signal callers in dynasty, which makes him extremely inexpensive in superflex formats. Last year, his accuracy metrics were still strong. He finished with a 67.7 completion percentage and 73.4 percent catchable pass rate, which reflects that he hasn’t completely lost his touch. Atlanta is in a better situation than Miami was by the end, with a head coach who has helped mid QBs find success and good weapons all around him. His dynasty value has cratered to the point where you can probably get him for $0.99 or less. Mark Andrews is younger than fantasy managers realize, and his analytical profile was down but better than his current TE19 price tag would suggest. He had a 17.2 percent target share last season that ranked 16th among all 143 tight ends in the league, and a 14.8 percent air yards share. THE INSULIN MVP!!!!!! MARK ANDREWS!!!!!!! THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS IS WIDE OPEN AFTER MARK ANDREWS GETS HIS FIRST CAREER RUSHING TOUCHDOWN!!!! pic.twitter.com/epkBvTirZz — Nic Mason (@British_Raven19) November 17, 2025 Those usage numbers belong to a guy who is very much still in the conversation, not one being phased out, and the dynasty market has him priced as if the injury history erased everything that came before it. He is still Lamar Jackson ‘s first read in the red zone, still one of the most targeted tight ends in football, and available right now at a price that reflects fear rather than production. Buy the fear. If you know me, you know that I will be in DJM’s corner until he hangs em’ up. As of now, it is still easy to wave the D.J. Moore flag, especially given his comical WR35 dynasty value. Moore finished 2025 as the WR35, and it was the least productive year in his career. Now he leaves a crowded offense to become all-world quarterback Josh Allen ‘s primary target. The veteran wideout posted two fantasy points per target last year, and now he is projected to see up to 50 percent more targets than he did in Chicago in 2025. There probably isn’t a bunch of productive seasons still in front of Moore, but 2026 is going to be good for him, so it’s smart for fantasy managers to make the small investment if they want to win.

Tuten finished 2025 with 307 rushing yards on 83 carries at 3.70 yards per carry, ranking 86th among running backs. He wasn’t the primary ball carrier, so volume isn’t in his favor. Let’s look at some analytic metrics. His true yards per carry of 3.68 ranked 84th, which is not the profile of a workhorse back waiting to break out.

The NFL Season is 100 days away! Yahoo analyst Joel Smyth shares 10 things to get excited about for fantasy football before the 2026 NFL season. In 2025, rookie Ashton Jeanty had the second-lowest yards before contact on average, largely due to the offensive line. Injuries didn’t help, with star left tackle Kolton Miller out for the majority of the season and Jackson Powers-Johnson on IR. Not only will Las Vegas have both return healthy in 2026, but the Raiders added All-Pro center Tyler Linderbaum , a dominant force in the run game, as well as multiple guards via free agency and the NFL Draft. There was no room to run for the explosive rookie, but help has arrived. Justin Jefferson doesn’t need Tom Brady at quarterback; he just needs serviceable. Carson Wentz is not the ideal option for your star fantasy WR, and yet, Jefferson averaged 95 receiving YPG in his five starts, which would have ranked third among wideouts. Kyler Murray may not be everyone’s favorite, but he is no doubt an upgrade from Jefferson’s 2025 QB play as a proven option for fantasy weapons. DeAndre Hopkins is the best receiver Murray has had in his career, with the former Cardinals QB helping him finish as the WR10 over their three seasons together. Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2026 NFL season From 2019-2023, the tight end position was dominated by three stars: Travis Kelce , George Kittle and Mark Andrews . We’ve seen them begin to fade over the last couple of seasons, but we’ve also begun to see the rise of the next wave. This season, we should see the future stars at the tight end position fully take over and start a new era. Of the first eight tight ends in the early 2026 ADP, the oldest is 26 years old! Trey McBride , Brock Bowers , Colston Loveland , Tyler Warren , Harold Fannin Jr. , Tucker Kraft , Kyle Pitts and Sam LaPorta are all under 27 years old and ready to fight it out to finish as a top-three fantasy TE. With A.J. Brown expected to be traded to New England , WR1 DeVonta Smith's time is finally here. He has the capability but hasn’t always had the full opportunity in a run-first offense. Last season, when A.J. Brown was off the field, Smith was targeted on 29% of his routes versus less than 21% with Brown on. Smith had 75+ receiving yards in all three games without Brown since he was traded to Philly, with 9+ targets in all of them. Makai Lemon was added, but Smith gets his best shot of finishing as a WR1 in PPG for the first time in his career. After coming back from an ACL tear he suffered in college, Panthers RB and 2024 second-round pick Jonathon Brooks re-tore his right ACL in Week 14 of 2024. After missing the entire 2025 season, Brooks looks ready to go for this season with a real opportunity at making an impact. With Rico Dowdle gone in free agency and Chuba Hubbard coming off a career-worst season, Carolina chose to only sign free agent A.J. Dillon as its projected RB4. The Panthers are a surprisingly valuable fantasy RB spot with Dave Canales calling plays the last two seasons, giving Brooks a shot at making a major impact as a late-round pick.

The Vikings will only have one home preseason game this summer, but they'll get more than one day of work against their opponents that week. The team announced that they will have two days of joint practices with the Ravens . They are set to work with the AFC North team on August 19 and 20 with the preseason game between the teams scheduled for August 22. Joint practices have been a regular occurrence during Vikings' camp in recent years. They have also worked with the Patriots, Browns , Titans, and Cardinals in recent seasons. The Vikings will visit the Giants and Broncos in their first and third preseason games this summer. The Ravens will be hosting the Eagles and Commanders
Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews entered this offseason as an intriguing player to target in dynasty fantasy leagues, but now, he's more of a "hold." Just two months ago, the Ravens let Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kolar depart in free agency, leaving Andrews atop an otherwise barren tight end depth chart. With the Ravens intent on throwing the ball more, it seemed like the veteran tight end could be due for a bounce-back year. That still should be true, but the Ravens' draft process complicates Andrews' long-term outlook. The team traded up to select SMU's Matthew Hibner, who could be the tight end of the future in Baltimore. He won't have a large role right away, but there's a chance that he could eventually become the Ravens' No. 1 tight end, especially since Andrews is in his thirties. Dynasty managers would be wise to hold Andrews for now, and then sell high on him when he strings together a few big weeks during the regular season. After all, he has fallen to TE17 in the latest dynasty fantasy football rankings
The Ravens have given Diego Pavia a chance
Andrews said Wednesday that he expects "a lot of opportunities in this offense" after fellow tight ends Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kolar left the Ravens this offseason, NFL.com reports. More help is probably on the way, but so far Baltimore has only signed blocking specialist Durham Smythe to help replace Likely (Giants) and Kolar (Chargers) at tight end. The Ravens also lost long-time fullback Patrick Ricard, who followed Likely and coach John Harbaugh to New York. Andrews, meanwhile, is entering the first season of the three-year extension he signed in December, with his 2026 compensation fully guaranteed and his 2027 salary partially guaranteed ($5 million out of $9 million). The Ravens clearly have him ticketed for a key role under new offensive coordinator Declan Doyle, but that doesn't mean Andrews will approach his peak volume (or production). He'll turn 31 in September, coming off back-to-back seasons with less than 4.5 targets and 40 yards per game. Even the TD production slipped in 2025, with Andrews posting a 48-422-5 receiving line (compared to 55-673-11 in 2024) while finishing with career-low marks for yards per catch (8.8) and yards per target (6.0)
Baltimore Ravens veteran tight end Mark Andrews' future in Baltimore has been in question the past several years, but with both Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kolar departing in free agency this offseason, he's set for plenty of opportunities with a new coaching staff in 2026, according to Kevin Patra of NFL.com. The 30-year-old is coming off a career-low 422 yards on 48 catches with five touchdowns in 2025, but he's confident that he can bounce back. "I'm going to continue to get better and grow my game, and I think there's going to be a lot of opportunities in this offense," Andrews said. The Ravens added tight end Durham Smythe, but he had only four catches last year with the Chicago Bears. Baltimore could add a TE in the upcoming NFL draft, but either way, Andrews figures to be in a prime spot to bounce back as a TE1 in fantasy football, especially if quarterback Lamar Jackson can put his lower-body injuries from 2025 in the rearview mirror
