Mark Andrews Set Up for a Productive 2026 Season?

Friday, March 13, 7:08 PM

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews could be headed for a bounce-back campaign in 2026 after the departure of two teammates. Baltimore watched Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kolar walk in free agency, leaving no doubt that Andrews is the Ravens' No. 1 tight end going forward. That's potentially good news for his fantasy outlook, as managers will be looking for him to bounce back from a subpar 2025 season in which he caught 48 passes for 422 yards and five touchdowns. He has ranked outside the top 14 fantasy tight ends (full-PPR) in two of the last three years. Dynasty managers should feel encouraged that he might reverse course and get back on track next season. Even though he's in his thirties, Andrews can be an encouraging buy-low in dynasty leagues this offseason since many of his fantasy managers are likely discouraged by recent results.

Jeremy Ruckert News

New York Jets and Jeremy Ruckert Agree to a Two-Year Extension

Wednesday, December 17, 9:45 AM

NFL Insider Ian Rapoport reported on Wednesday morning that the New York Jets have agreed to terms with young tight end Jeremy Ruckert, locking him in for the future. He gets a 2-year, $10M extension with upside to $11M. Ruckert, the fourth-year player out of Ohio State, has underwhelmed in the receiving game since joining the Jets. This year, he has hit career highs in receptions (20) and receiving yards (163), but was drafted in the third round and is an asset to the team primarily because of his willingness and effectiveness to block in the run game. The Jets now have Ruckert and a rookie out of LSU, Mason Taylor, as their top tight end options for years to come. From a fantasy football standpoint, Ruckert is well off the radar and shouldn't be rostered in any formats.
