Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews had his $4 million roster bonus picked up over the weekend. The veteran tight end is heading into his final year of his contract with the Ravens. There was speculation that the Ravens would move on from Andrews after his recent playoff struggles. Despite that, the Ravens appear to continue to ride with Andrews until a legit trade offer comes in. The three-time All-Pro tight end has seen his stats take a dip over the last few seasons. However, Andrews still hauled in 55 receptions for 673 yards and a career-high 11 touchdowns in 17 games with the Ravens last season. It appears the Ravens aren't going to let a few mistakes in the playoffs end their relationship with Andrews.
Baltimore Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta pledged his support for tight end Mark Andrews at the NFL Combine on Tuesday, saying: "Mark is a great player . Mark will be in a ring if honor someday. I love having him on the team. We'll figure out all the roster machinations in the coming weeks but nobody is a bigger Mark Andrews fan than me." Andrews had an AFC Championship game to forget in the loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, losing a critical fumble and dropped a two-point conversion. The 29-year-old has just one year left on his deal with $11 million in non-guaranteed money. The Ravens could save $11 million on this year's salary cap if they were to cut him before his $4 million roster bonus is due on March 17. Although he has the support of the GM and has plenty of chemistry with quarterback Lamar Jackson, Andrews is turning 30 next month and saw Isaiah Likely take on a bigger role next to him in 2024.
ESPN's Dan Graziano writes that it's possible that Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews could be a salary cap casualty this offseason. The 29-year-old is scheduled to make $11 million in 2025 -- a $4 million roster bonus due on March 17 and $7 million in salary. Andrews' salary cap number is $16.9 million, and because none of his salary is guaranteed, the team would save $11 million if they release him before his roster bonus is due. In addition to his major gaffes in the playoff loss to the Buffalo Bills, there were stretches in 2024 where fellow tight end Isaiah Likely looked to have surpasses him in the passing game. However, Graziano doesn't discount that Andrews has been extremely reliable in his career with the Ravens and has plenty of chemistry with quarterback Lamar Jackson. Despite coming off a crucial lost fumble and dropped pass in the postseason, Andrews finished as the TE5 in fantasy and had a career-high 11 touchdowns.
Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews turned in another big-time season and was one of the most dependable pass-catchers on the team for a long time. Unfortunately, he made two crucial mistakes in the second half of the 27-25 loss to the Buffalo Bills in the divisional round. The veteran finished with five receptions for 61 yards on seven targets and two carries for three yards. What's going to be the most memorable are the back-to-back drives that ended in Andrews' mistakes to end the game. He fumbled in the second to last drive, then he saw the potential game-tying catch go right off of his hands without a defender near him. Despite the rough game, he should still remain a top fantasy option at the position next season.
Mark Andrews Will Play Important Role Against Bills
Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews will have to step up yet again in both the blocking game and through the air as the team travels to Buffalo in freezing cold weather. He only received one target in Week 4 against the Bills because the ground game went wild and they coasted to a win. While they'll look to get going with Derrick Henry, the game won't likely go the same way which means Andrews will have to step up with Zay Flowers (knee) listed as doubtful. Isaiah Likely and Andrews led the team in targets against the Steelers, and they're headed for more of the same in the divisional round.
Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews didn't make much noise in the 28-14 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday. The veteran registered two catches for 27 yards on three targets while receiving a 61% snap share. He saw 14 fewer snaps than Isaiah Likely, who was a bit more involved in the passing game this time around. Andrews played a big part in blocking again as the ground game went for a ridiculous 299 yards. Andrews will probably be needed more in the divisional round against either the Houston Texans or Buffalo Bills.
Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews finally scored his first career touchdown against their division rivals in Week 16 and the two sides will go against each other for a third time on Saturday. Andrews also finished the season on quite the hot streak, getting into the end zone in each of the last six games. With Zay Flowers (knee) ruled out for at least the Wild Card round, Andrews will likely take on an even bigger target share than usual. He's a top-end tight end option for playoff leagues and DFS cash games.
Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews ended the season on a six-game run with at least one touchdown in each matchup, including one against the Cleveland Browns on Saturday to help win the division. He registered four catches for 54 yards and a touchdown on eight targets which pushed him into fourth for the most receiving touchdowns in the NFL. The only three currently ahead of him are Ja'Maar Chase, Terry McLaurin, and Amon-Ra St. Brown. Despite his small rough patch this season, he'll likely finish as a top-five fantasy tight end again and awaits a big role in their first-round playoff matchup since Zay Flowers (knee) is likely out.
Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews is the TE5 on the season in half-PPR formats and has hauled in a touchdown in each of the last five games. The Ravens will go up against the Cleveland Browns on Saturday with a chance at winning the AFC North, so the starters will suit up against a team that has a laundry list of injuries. Andrews remains a TE1 heading into the season finale especially with a TE1 finish against the Browns the last time they played in Week 8.
Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews keeps adding to the franchise-leading receiving touchdown number as he scored in his fifth consecutive game. During the 31-2 Christmas victory, he finished with two receptions for 68 yards and one touchdown on two targets. Almost all of his yards came on his 67-yard catch while his touchdown came on a goal-line throw in the third quarter which put them up by 29. After not finding the end zone in the team's first five games, Andrews is up to 10 touchdowns with one game left against the Cleveland Browns.
