Who Should I Start? Mark Andrews or Dameon Pierce

Wednesday, April 1, 9:44 AM

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews is coming off a disappointing season in which he finished as the overall TE16. Andrews played in all 17 games and logged 70 targets (his highest mark since 20220), but most of his receptions were of low value. His 422 yards were a new career low, and he was also held to a modest five touchdowns. Part of the blame can be attributed to a crowded tight end room, and part of the blame can be placed on a Ravens offense that took a step back in 2025. Both problems have potential solutions going forward. The position room is less crowded now that Isaiah Likely has departed for New York, leaving Andrews as the undisputed No. 1 tight end in Baltimore for 2026 and perhaps beyond. Meanwhile, there's a whole new coaching staff and system in place after the Ravens fired head coach John Harbaugh and offensive coordinator Todd Monken. New head coach Jesse Minter is a defensive guy, but offensive coordinator Declan Doyle is a rising star in the industry and should help elevate the Ravens' Lamar Jackson-led offense. All in all, the stars are aligning for Andrews to bounce back in 2026. Despite being 30 years old, Andrews is an intriguing buy-low candidate in dynasty fantasy football leagues this offseason.
