Mark Andrews News
Thursday, August 27, 8:50 PM
Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews is looking to bounce back following a frustrating TE16 finish in PPR leagues last season. TE16 is nothing to scoff at, but Andrews' fantasy managers would have liked him to contribute a little more, especially after he was the TE6 in 2024. This year, he'll have a chance to return to his TE6 form. Not only is he healthy, but so is quarterback Lamar Jackson, and the duo will be under the guidance of new head coach Jesse Minter, as well as new offensive coordinator Declan Doyle. Although Doyle spent last year as the Bears' OC, he was previously the Broncos' tight ends coach, so perhaps he'll be the key to getting Andrews back on track. The new coaching staff should benefit the Ravens' offense this year, which is one of the reasons why Andrews has jumped back to TE13 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy football rankings for 2026.

Juwan Johnson News
Sunday, August 23, 11:40 AM
New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson hasn't given up much ground after last year's breakout. He caught 77 passes for 889 yards and three touchdowns on 102 targets, finishing third among NFL tight ends in receiving yards. New Orleans added Noah Fant, drafted Oscar Delp in the third round and spent the eighth overall pick on Jordyn Tyson, so there was plenty of reason to wonder whether Johnson's volume would take a hit. So far, he's still on top of the tight end depth chart. Johnson has made plays throughout camp, including a fourth-and-1 touchdown from Tyler Shough on August 11 with Kool-Aid McKinstry all over him. The Saints called it one of the best plays of camp. Fant and Delp make another 102 targets tougher to count on, and Tyson adds another talented receiver to the offense. Johnson's role hasn't disappeared, though. RotoBaller has him at TE15 and 131st overall in PPR. After the additions New Orleans made this offseason, holding onto the lead job and continuing to produce in camp has his redraft outlook moving the right way.
