Mark Andrews 2024 Outlook: Still An Elite Tight End Option?
It was a disappointing 2023 for Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews. His season was limited to just 10 games after suffering a season-ending leg injury against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 11. Andrews returned to the field for the Ravens AFC Championship Game loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, so he appears to have put the injury behind him. Potentially more concerning, though, Andrews' Target Share and Targets Per Route Run (TPRR) were both lower than his 2022 totals per Fantasy Points Data Suite. The difference was the emergence of Zay Flowers as Baltimore's clear WR1. Andrews has never had to share targets with a wide receiver of this caliber. While we have some slightly concerning signs in his analytical profile and the emergence of a true WR1, none of it mattered for fantasy football purposes. In terms of Fantasy Points Per Game (PPG), Andrews still ranked fourth in half PPR leagues and tied for first in PPG in non PPR formats. While Flowers presents stiff competition, Andrews showed he can still deliver for fantasy owners. His connection with quarterback Lamar Jackson remains strong and will only help Andrews' fantasy prospects. Ranked as RotoBaller's TE5, Andrews remains one of the top tight ends entering the 2024 season.
