News: 4 days agoAndrews caught one of three targets for four yards during the Ravens' 13-10 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

Spin: Andrews saw only three pass attempts from Tyler Huntley on Sunday, and it was the first time that the veteran tight end saw less than five targets in a game this season. Andrews' 41 offensive snaps were most among Ravens tight ends, but his receiving line was below rookie fifth-rounder Josh Cuevas (4-44-1 on five targets). Baltimore will head back home for Week 7 against the Bengals on Oct. 25, and Andrews' scoring floor will be boosted if Lamar Jackson (ankle) is cleared to return from a two-game absence.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: One of fantasy's biggest mysteries, Andrews' usage has dipped substantially over the past two seasons. After finishing in the top five in fantasy PPG five seasons in a row from 2019 to 2023, Andrews slipped to eighth in 2024 (it would've been much worse if not for 11 touchdowns on 68 targets) and fell even further to 24th last season. Andrews appeared in all 17 of Baltimore's games but ranked 18th among tight ends in targets and outside the top 20 in catches and yards. The combination of a new coaching staff, a healthy Lamar Jackson and the departure of Isaiah Likely could lead to a rebound season for Andrews, but we now have two straight seasons of underperformance. The 31-year-old remains a force near the goal line (top 10 in end zone targets seven years in a row), but he's now more of a fringe TE1 than a fantasy star.
