Mark Andrews Has a Clear Path to Outperforming His Current Redraft ADP

Tuesday, July 21, 11:27 AM

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews had one of the least productive seasons of his career in 2025, recording 48 catches for 422 yards and five touchdowns on 70 targets across 17 games. The three-time Pro-Bowler averaged his fewest targets per game (4.1) since 2018, and his average of 6.0 receiving yards per target was the worst of his career by a significant margin. As he enters his age-31 season with 121 career games of NFL mileage on his body, Andrews may simply be done as a high-level fantasy contributor. However, Baltimore lost tight end Isaiah Likely to the New York Giants in free agency, leaving Andrews as the Ravens' clear TE1 going into 2026. Baltimore could also open up its passing game a bit more under new play-caller Declan Doyle, and the team lacks an obvious number two option in the passing game behind star wideout Zay Flowers. His profile is not without risk, but Andrews could be a value selection at his current redraft ADP of TE15.

Mason Taylor "Excited" to Play Alongside Rookie TE

Monday, August 3, 5:38 PM

Despite the team's decision to draft a tight end in the first round, New York Jets tight end Mason Taylor is excited to play alongside Oregon rookie Kenyon Sadiq. On Sadiq's selection, Taylor said, "I was excited. It's great for our team, makes the room better, the competition better. He's a great kid. He's come in here and learned fast. He's asked questions. It's exciting. It opens the door for all of us. I think that's the best part of it. We're just all excited about it." Taylor also added that offensive coordinator Frank Reich is going to have lots of fun creating an offense that includes both Sadiq and himself. As a rookie, Taylor hauled in 44 of 65 passes for 369 yards and one touchdown in 13 games. With Sadiq expected to take a ton of work from Taylor, the second-year tight end is not fantasy-relevant entering the 2026 season.
