Who Should I Start? Mark Andrews or Brock Bowers

Saturday, July 12, 1:31 PM

There was some speculation this offseason that the Baltimore Ravens might be moving on from tight end Mark Andrews after his disappointing outing in the playoff loss to the Buffalo Bills in the divisional round. However, Andrews is still on the roster and is in the TE mix for the Ravens alongside Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kolar with training camp right around the corner. All three of Andrews, Likely and Kolar are scheduled to be free agents in 2026, so they should all be highly motivated, writes The Athletic's Jeff Zrebiec. Andrews should continue to have a key role in the offense, but the addition of veteran receiver DeAndre Hopkins could mean that targets will be tougher to come by in an offense that remains run-first. The 29-year-old looked done early in 2024 before scoring 11 TDs in a 12-game span. Likely is a problem for sure, but as long as Andrews stays healthy, he should be in play as a midrange TE1 in fantasy.

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers wrapped up a sensational rookie season despite a constant change at quarterback and a tumultuous season for the team in general. In the Week 18 loss to the Chargers, Bowers finished with four catches for 50 yards and a touchdown on nine targets. He ended the year with 112 receptions, 1,194 yards, and five touchdowns on 153 targets. His performance broke records for most receptions by a rookie, Raiders franchise single-season receptions, and most yards by a rookie tight end.
