Best Ball Guy called Mark Andrews a smash at pick 107. Andrews produced 11 touchdowns last season and paid off a fifth-round price; this summer he is lasting into the ninth. The discount is amplified by the ankle injury to teammate Isaiah Likely, which should funnel even more early-season targets to Andrews. In Best Ball Guy’s words, you can "take him there and not overthink it."

For drafters ready to grab a tight end, Coventry listed Mark Andrews as the premier option in the 8/9 turn. Even though total targets dipped last year, Andrews remained Lamar Jackson’s favoured red-zone and big-play threat, preserving weekly top-tier upside.

James Koh warned that Mark Andrews is an avoid at his top-10 positional ADP. Andrews ranked only 25th in targets per game last year, and Baltimore reportedly offered Isaiah Likely a deal worth $13-plus million annually—money that would slot him among the five highest-paid tight ends. Koh took that as proof the Ravens plan to expand Likely’s role, further capping Andrews’ ceiling. Because drafters are paying for past peak production without baking in the growing target competition, Koh views the risk/reward profile as lopsided and advised passing on Andrews at current cost.

Hribar projected positive touchdown regression for Mark Andrews after an injury-marred 2024 in which he posted his lowest TD rate since 2020. Andrews still earned a 19.4% target rate with 51.5% of his snaps in the slot and 26.1% out wide, the league’s most receiver-like deployment among TEs. Hribar noted that if Andrews’ snap share rebounds from last year’s 65.8%—hampered by tight-rope surgery and an offseason car accident—his efficient usage profile makes him a strong bet to climb back into the position’s elite touchdown producers.

Coventry said Mark Andrews is being overlooked in 2025 drafts. Even with a dip in raw targets last year, Andrews remained highly efficient, keeping pace with top-5 per-route production. Coventry recommends scooping him at pick 98 because managers are treating him like a middling TE1 despite proven elite upside.

Pat Fantasy Dog Pound purposely grabbed Mark Andrews around pick 106—about a round ahead of consensus—arguing the micro-reach is not minus-EV. The alternative options in that range are low-ceiling RB2s, whereas Andrews gives elite tight-end upside and instantly differentiates roster construction. Because Andrews rarely falls to pick 120, Pat views the early click as an inexpensive way to secure a top-5 TE, free himself to hammer wide receivers later, and build a more unique, high-ceiling Best Ball Mania team tied to Lamar Jackson’s still-explosive passing attack.

Andrews finished 2024 as TE6 with a career-high 11 TDs, yet Harris is hitting the brakes at a 95th-overall ADP. The underlying usage is troubling: a 15 % target share (20th among TEs) after living in the 22-28 % range, propped up by a Ravens offense that scored an "unsustainable" 3.6 TDs per game. Trade rumors persist due to his $11 M 2025 cap hit and Isaiah Likely’s emergence. Harris prefers to wait for clarity, noting there is too much late-round talent to gamble on a player who could change teams or see further volume erosion.

JSU said he is out on Mark Andrews this season, even though he was a big supporter two years ago. He compared the Ravens tight end to “Dallas Goedert minus,” arguing Andrews no longer separates enough from the mid-tier to justify his early-round best-ball price tag. JSU hinted at unspecified "friction" around Andrews’ role and believes drafters are ignoring that tighter target distribution makes his ceiling slimmer than in past years. Instead of paying a premium for what he now views as a replacement-level fantasy option, JSU is waiting and taking cheaper names like Goedert later in drafts.

After selecting him, The What assured listeners that Mark Andrews "will not stop rising to every occasion," calling him the rare tight end who thrives no matter what cards he’s dealt. He framed Andrews as a perennial red-zone alpha whose target share remains intact even when Baltimore’s passing volume dips, making him one of the few non-Travis Kelce tight ends worth paying up for in best-ball drafts. Despite last year’s late-season injury, The What believes Andrews’ combination of bankable volume and weekly spike-week potential still justifies his third-round price tag.

Davis Mattek said drafters should keep smashing Mark Andrews at his late-third price even though the veteran ran only about 15 routes per game last season. Mattek pointed out that Andrews still ranked fourth among all tight ends in target share and posted 2.01 yards per route run, numbers that underline how Baltimore force-feeds him whenever he is on the field. While the touchdown rate was admittedly "hot," Mattek does not view that as fluky; Lamar Jackson has historically looked to Andrews in the red zone, and Todd Monken’s pass-rate-over-expectation climbed as 2023 progressed. In best-ball tournaments Mattek is comfortable taking Andrews as his lone early tight end because the combination of elite efficiency, bankable target volume, and attached QB quality gives him weekly TE1 overall upside without paying Travis Kelce prices.

Greg Brainos grabbed Mark Andrews eight picks after ADP and called him a stone value even with Todd Monken publicly recommitting to 12-personnel. Brainos pointed out that Baltimore ran two-TE sets on 31% of snaps last year—tops in the league—and Andrews still finished top-five among tight ends in targets per route (24%). He expects similar usage because Monken’s scheme creates middle-of-field vacancies when both tight ends release, and Isaiah Likely’s presence actually keeps defenses from bracketing Andrews. Add the fact that Andrews owns a 28% red-zone target share over the past two seasons, and Brainos views any ADP dip as free money for Best Ball drafters.

At TE6 (Pick 95) Andrews looks affordable, but Harris is staying on the sidelines until the situation settles. His target share cratered to 15% (20th among TEs) while 11 TDs masked usage erosion in an offense scoring an unsustainable 3.6 TDs per game. Trade rumors fueled by Isaiah Likely’s emergence and an $11 M 2025 cap hit add uncertainty. Harris prefers late-round upside options over investing in a murky depth-chart battle.

Mike Wright said he is flat-out passing on Mark Andrews at his current seventh-round ADP. Wright pointed to an unsustainable 2024 red-zone conversion rate—Andrews turned 15 red-zone targets into 11 touchdowns, a spike he called "bonkers off-the-charts efficiency" and nearly double the tight end’s previous career high. Andrews is now 30, coming off a year in which his overall opportunity shrank (69 targets) while Isaiah Likely siphoned 58 looks. With Baltimore happy to rotate two tight ends and Lamar Jackson unlikely to repeat a 40-TD season, Wright believes touchdown variance is poised to swing the other way. He would only draft Andrews if the veteran fell to rounds 10–12, preferring to look elsewhere for a more bankable TE1.

Greg Brainos explained that drafters who lock in an early elite tight end—he used Mark Andrews as the example—can comfortably wait until the last two Underdog rounds to complete a three-TE room. Because Andrews regularly commands a 25% target share and top-five red-zone usage, you only need weekly survivable scores behind him. Cheap options like Chig Okonkwo and Juwan Johnson are available in Rounds 17-18, allowing you to allocate the middle of your draft to running backs and wide receivers while still finishing with adequate tight-end volume.

Pat Fantasy Dog Pound said landing Mark Andrews around pick 108 is “insane” value for Puppy drafters. He reminded listeners that Andrews still owns an elite 23% career target share and remains Lamar Jackson’s preferred red-zone option (16 end-zone targets in 2023 despite missing time). Because Andrews can deliver multiple 20-plus–point weeks, Pat feels comfortable capping his tight-end room at two players—Andrews plus a late flyer like Theo Johnson or Tanner Strange—freeing extra roster spots for upside wideouts. Pat urged viewers to pounce any time soft rooms let Andrews drift a full round past Dalton Kincaid and Brock Bowers, arguing the veteran gives the same weekly ceiling without the rookie risk baked into those names.

Davis Mattek said Mark Andrews is now a screaming value because drafters have pushed him from a 2024 fourth/fifth-round ADP of 51 overall all the way into double-digit rounds. Mattek locked Andrews in at pick 120-ish and called the year-over-year slide "a huge value from 2024 to 2025." His logic is simple: the role and red-zone equity that made Andrews a perennial top-three tight end have not changed, yet the room is pricing him as if they have. Mattek encouraged best-ball drafters to grab the discount and enjoy elite upside at a mid-range cost.

Pat Fantasy Dog Pound called Mark Andrews “a crazy easy click” and said it’s "criminal" that he regularly lasts into the 100s overall in BBM6. Pat reminded listeners that Baltimore quietly used Andrews on several goal-line "tush push" looks late last season, giving him extra touchdown equity that’s being ignored in drafts. He already has a big portfolio of Andrews from the Big Board but plans to add more because, in his words, "no one remembers what Baltimore was doing toward the end of the season." At a triple-digit ADP, Pat believes drafters are paying a mid-TE2 price for a player with perennial top-five upside tied to Lamar Jackson in Todd Monken’s pass-friendlier system.

Pat Fantasy Dog Pound said Mark Andrews sitting around pick 100 in Underdog’s half-point scoring is flat-out mis-priced. He reminded viewers that Andrews has finished top-four in points per game every healthy season since 2020 and ranks first among tight ends in red-zone target share over that span (26%). With Lamar Jackson’s ADOT climbing under Todd Monken and Baltimore refusing to add a true chain-moving wideout in free agency or the draft, Pat expects Andrews to reclaim the 24-26% target share he posted before last year’s ankle injury. He compared the current ADP gap to 2022, when Andrews was a late-second rounder, and argued that even a 60-catch, 7-TD campaign would smash a ninth-round cost in Best Ball Mania 6. Pat is grabbing Andrews whenever rooms let him slide past pick 90 and feels strongly the market will correct once summer hype cycles shift to veteran safety plays.

Pat Fantasy Dog Pound said the current fifth-round clump of tight ends "just screams Mark Andrews" because he offers the only elite ceiling outside the first two rounds. He added that the Ravens have quietly floated Rashod Bateman in trade talks—if Bateman is moved, Andrews’ target share could jump back over 26% while Baltimore leans on 12-personnel with Isaiah Likely. Even without a Bateman deal, Andrews already ranks top-three in yards per route run versus zone and has averaged 1.75 end-zone targets per game with Lamar Jackson under Todd Monken. Pat is happily hammering Andrews whenever the room lets him slide behind the Calvin Ridley–Tee Higgins tier.

Michael Leone clicked Mark Andrews in Round 8 and called it an easy smash alongside his existing Zay Flowers shares. He pointed to recent comments from GM Eric DeCosta calling Andrews "integral to everything we do," a signal that snap share will bounce back after last year’s slow return from a serious quad injury. Andrews still flashed ceiling down the stretch, and Leone reminded viewers that the tight end has averaged 2.05 yards per route in Lamar Jackson starts over the past three seasons— a number only Travis Kelce and Sam LaPorta can match. In Leone’s view, an eighth-round price for a player who owns double-digit target upside on a top-5 offense is "the cheapest weekly difference-maker you’ll draft all summer."

Pat Fantasy Dog Pound hammered Mark Andrews as a glaring buy when he slips into the 110–115 range. Pat emphasized that Ravens coaches have repeatedly stated Andrews will remain with the team, and Baltimore added zero meaningful pass-catchers in either free agency or the draft. That keeps Andrews locked into his familiar 22–24 % target share in a Lamar Jackson offense that finished top-10 in points per drive last year. Pat added that excitement around Isaiah Likely is suppressing Andrews’ price even though Likely’s true breakout path depended on Andrews getting traded—an outcome Pat now considers dead. With elite TE options scarce once Travis Kelce and Sam LaPorta are gone, Pat is comfortable scooping Andrews two rounds ahead of ADP but routinely lands him at pick 115 in softer rooms.

Mike Wright labeled Mark Andrews a post-draft winner because Baltimore used its first seven selections on defense or special teams—highlighted by a sixth-round kicker—while adding zero competition at wide receiver or tight end. Andrews already commanded a 23 percent target share in games active last season, and Wright expects that number to hold steady with Lamar Jackson’s trust intact. The Ravens’ pass-catcher room remains unchanged aside from developmental depth, so Andrews should again rank top-three in routes run among tight ends. Wright placed Andrews narrowly ahead of Isaiah Likely in his fresh dynasty startup ranks and projects a 75-catch, 900-yard season that keeps him firmly in the overall TE1 discussion for 2025 redraft leagues.

Jason Moore said he is operating as if 2025 will be Mark Andrews’ last season with the Ravens. He pointed to several red‑flag indicators: 1) GM Eric DeCosta’s evasive “I never know what’s going to happen” response when asked about Andrews’ future, 2) the sizeable 2025 contract bonus Baltimore just swallowed, which makes a post‑June 1 trade or 2026 release financially painless, and 3) the Ravens’ recent willingness to feature Isaiah Likely down the stretch. Moore believes Baltimore will use this season as a final run with Andrews before moving his $14M AAV off the books, making now a strong dynasty sell window before the market fully prices in the uncertainty.
