News: 2 days agoAndrews agreed to a three-year extension with the Ravens on Wednesday.

Spin: Per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, Andrews' deal is reportedly worth $39.3 million and includes $26 million guaranteed. The veteran tight end was slated to become a free agent after the 2025 season, but he's now under contract with the Ravens through 2028. In 12 games this year, the 30-year-old has caught 37 of his 52 targets for 332 yards and a team-high five receiving TDs. .

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Andrews is a tricky evaluation after an odd career turn in 2024 in which he was fortunate to finish eighth in fantasy PPG after posting top-5 finishes the prior five seasons. After handling a target share in the 22-to-28% range during 2019-23 (all were top 4 at the position), Andrews dipped to 15% in 2024 (20th) and finished 20th in targets, 14th in catches, ninth in yards and first in TDs among tight ends. Andrews has always been extremely efficient when targeted (he's never finished lower than fifth in YPRR), but he's also never been quite as TD dependent (11 TDs in 2024 were a career high and his 16.2% TD rate was way above his prior career rate of 7.1%). Andrews was bailed out by the TD outlier and will need to bounce back in the target area in order to return to elite TE1 production.
