Mark Andrews is explicitly excluded from Hartitz's sleeper consideration due to age and declining efficiency metrics. At TE13 ADP on ESPN, Andrews barely qualifies as a late-round tight end. Hartitz ranks Isaiah Likely ahead of Andrews, citing Likely's superior profile relative to Andrews' age and declining performance, suggesting Andrews represents poor value at his current ADP.PositiveProjectionJul 28, 2026
Andrews is ranked TE9 and positioned as a bounce-back bet after career-low marks in receiving yards (422) and yards per target (6) in 2025. He is now the only show in town after Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kolar departed in free agency. The source cites promising underlying numbers in separation-based metrics from Fantasy Points (TE6) and ESPN (TE1), and projects him as the likely No. 2 target earner from Lamar Jackson despite being 31 years old.PositiveProjectionJul 28, 2026

Mark Andrews at 125.7 Underdog ADP is a clearly preferable tight end option to Travis Kelce at 121.5 UD, even without factoring in the cheaper price.PositiveValueJul 27, 2026
Mark Andrews at TE14 ADP is a value target despite age 31 approaching; the source notes his 2024 season (11 TDs) is more realistic than his 2021 peak (9 TDs on 153 targets), and new offensive coordinator Declan Doyle brought blocking specialist Durham Smythe from Chicago to reduce Andrews' blocking reps and free him for pass-catching. Isaiah Likely's departure to the Giants removes a competing target-share threat, allowing Andrews to specialize more as a receiver if Lamar Jackson bounces back from his 2025 injury.NegativeRoleJul 21, 2026
Mark Andrews is positioned to benefit from Baltimore's new offensive scheme, which will feature blocking tight end Durham Smythe on the field to help run-pass-option plays from run looks. The source states this is 'good news for Flowers and Mark Andrews,' as Smythe's presence on the field will increase target rates for pass plays from run looks. However, the source expresses uncertainty about whether Andrews 'has enough gas in the tank to take advantage of his opportunity,' suggesting concerns about his ability to capitalize on increased role opportunity.NegativeProjectionJul 16, 2026
Andrews posted a career-low 422 yards last season despite playing all 17 games for the second year in a row, averaging only about four targets per game—his fewest since his rookie year. With Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kolar no longer with the team, Andrews should see a bump in targets; Likely swiped 194 targets over the last four years, and he and Kolar combined for nearly two targets per game last season. Those targets should now go to Andrews. His only competition for tight end targets is blocking specialist Durham Smythe and a pair of rookies taken in the fourth and fifth round of the draft (Matthew Hibner and Josh Cuevas), giving him a clear path to increased target share. Andrews' struggles last season were related to Lamar Jackson's injury-plagued season. Jackson is healthy entering training camp, and he and Andrews should continue to build on their already great chemistry, supporting a rebound in production. Taking a shot on Andrews at his TE14 price is a low-risk gamble with significant upside given the target opportunity, quarterback health, and reduced competition.
