Mark Andrews Ready for More Opportunities in 2026

Thursday, April 9, 8:28 AM

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.

Raiders Sign Fullback Connor Heyward

Thursday, March 12, 3:26 PM

The Las Vegas Raiders have signed fullback Connor Heyward to a two-year deal worth up to $5.5 million, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. The contract includes $2 million fully guaranteed. Heyward hit free agency earlier this week upon the expiration of his four-year rookie deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He's scored a touchdown in three of his four pro seasons, and he posted a respectable 449 scrimmage yards during his time in the black and gold. Of course, handling the football is just a minor component of his role as a fullback. He's far more involved as a blocker, creating opportunities for the quarterback or running backs. He'll now take his talents to Las Vegas, where he'll be tasked with blocking for a young offense that features Ashton Jeanty and will also likely include projected No. 1 pick Fernando Mendoza.
