Fantasy football: Where to draft Baltimore Ravens TE Mark Andrews

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Ravens TE Mark Andrews is entering his 7th NFL season after being drafted in the 3rd round of the 2018 NFL draft out of Oklahoma. He had 107 receptions for 1,361 yards and 9 touchdowns in 2021 which resulted in his 1st All-pro selection. Since then, the numbers have dwindled each season because of injuries. Last season, he suffered a fibula fracture and ligament damage in an ankle in Week 11 but did return in the 2nd round of the NFL playoffs. Below, we look at Mark Andrews’ 2024 fantasy football average draft position (ADP) and where you should draft him.

Entering 2024, the injury concerns are real and the emergence of Ravens TE Isaiah Likely casts a large shadow over his fantasy outlook, but the chemistry between Andrews and QB Lamar Jackson is real. You have to assume if Andrews is healthy, he will finish as a top-3 fantasy tight end.

Mark Andrews’ ADP: 48.80

(ADP data courtesy of MyFantasyLeague.com; last updated at time of this publishing – ADPs continually change as more drafts occur)

Andrews’s 48.80 ADP in redraft leagues places him in the range of the 3rd to 6th round, depending on the size of the league. His ADP is significantly lower than Likely’s (161.35), though.

Among tight ends, Andrews’ ADP puts him 4th at the position, behind Kansas City’s Travis Kelce (29.86), Detroit’s Sam LaPorta (32.29) and Arizona’s Trey McBride (47.58). Buffalo’s Dalton Kincaid (57.47) and Jacksonville’s Evan Engram (60.46) ranks as the 5th- and 6th-best tight ends.

Where should you draft Andrews?

Andrews remains one of the most reliable tight ends in fantasy football, yet he’s being overlooked in 2024 drafts, falling behind younger options like LaPorta and Kincaid. This makes Andrews a strong value pick and even a solid dynasty buy. Despite a limited role in his playoff return after a leg injury, he’s expected to be fully healthy this season.

The Ravens’ offense is still heavily reliant on Andrews, especially after shedding WR Odell Beckham Jr., who led the team in end-zone targets a year ago. Though Likely flashed potential late in 2023, he averaged just one catch per game when Andrews was healthy, reaffirming Andrews’ position as the primary option.

Even with WR Zay Flowers expected to play a big role, Andrews remains a top target. His fantasy points per game last season were just 0.05 behind Kansas City’s Kelce. With the Ravens adding stud RB Derrick Henry to boost the offense, Andrews is primed for another strong season.

Andrews is a reliable TE1 option with great value in 2024 drafts. He’s a proven performer in a productive offense, making him a safe and valuable pick.
