No. 66 – TE Mark Andrews
“Mark Andrews saw 104 targets this season, including the team’s lone playoff appearance, catching 65.4% of them (68) and scoring 10 touchdowns. He was Lamar Jackson’s go-to receiver and ended the regular season ranked fifth in targets, but with the heavy tight end formations they Ravens run, he ranked just 39th in snaps. Andrews was one of the best receiving weapons in the league and did it while being reserved specifically for that role from a deployment point of view. His grade suffered a little from a strange case of the drops, three of which came in one game in the rain against Seattle, but “overall, he was a real force this season.”
Andrews was Baltimore’s passing offense at some points last season, with Jackson targeting the tight end the most by a wide margin. Even with defenses keying in on Andrews, his size and speed combination proved to be a huge mismatch that still got him open and into the end zone. If the Ravens can continue to put talent at receiver to force defenses off double-teaming Andrews, he should really explode in 2020.
As noted, Andrews got dinged a bit thanks to his seven drops, which picked up in frequency over the season. But considering Andrews was dealing with injuries last season, I have to wonder if that improves with him being healthy again.
