NFL DRAFT ROOKIE GUIDE IS NOW LIVE!
Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (ankle) was designated to return from Injured Reserve on Friday, January 12, but he did not suit up to face the Houston Texans in the AFC Divisional Round on Saturday. Despite being a full participant at practice on Wednesday and Thursday, the 28-year-old was listed as questionable and was held out. Since it seems he was close to playing, the belief is that he could be back to face the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game on Sunday. However, head coach John Harbaugh was non-committal on his status on Monday. "We'll just see how it goes," Harbaugh said. "If he's ready to play, he'll play." It sounds like DFS gamers will have to wait a little longer to see if the Pro Bowler will hit the playing field for the first time since Week 11. If he's active, he'll be firmly on the fantasy radar, and Isaiah Likely will be a downgraded DFS option.

The Baltimore Ravens didn't activate tight end Mark Andrews (ankle) from Injured Reserve on Friday in order for him to play in Saturday's Divisional Round playoff game against the Houston Texans. Andrews was designated to return from IR at the end of last week and even put in two full practices this week, but ultimately he will not play after being listed as questionable on Thursday's final injury report. If the Ravens beat Houston and advance to the AFC Championship, Andrews, quarterback Lamar Jackson's favorite target when healthy, will be an option to play next weekend. The 28-year-old has been on IR since fracturing his left fibula and suffering ligament damage in his left ankle in Week 11. Isaiah Likely is a worthwhile DFS option if you're trying to save money at the position. He's scored five times in his last five games.

The Baltimore Ravens are not expected to activate star tight end Mark Andrews (ankle) from Injured Reserve on Friday in order to play against the Houston Texans in Saturday's Divisional Round playoff game, as he's not quite ready to return from a significant ankle injury that has kept him out since Week 11. If the Ravens beat the Texans and advance to the AFC Championship, perhaps Andrews will be ready then. The 28-year-old put in full practices on Wednesday and Thursday and was listed as questionable for Saturday's game, but the Ravens aren't going to push it and will hold Andrews out. It means that Isaiah Likely, who has scored five touchdowns in his last five games, will once again be the team's top pass-catching tight end and will be a solid DFS play if you're trying to save money at the TE position.
Jan 19, 2024 12:00 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said it's still undecided if tight end Mark Andrews (ankle) will play in Saturday's Divisional Round playoff game against the Houston Texans, and he's officially listed as questionable. Andrews practiced this week for the first time since injuring his left ankle on Nov. 16 before being put on Injured Reserve. The good news is Andrews practiced in full on Wednesday and Thursday, but it doesn't necessarily mean he'll be active on Sunday or even have a big role if he does suit up. Andrews has been quarterback Lamar Jackson's favorite target since they were both selected by the Ravens in the 2018 draft. He ranks in the top three at the TE position with 347 catches (second), 4,305 yards (third) and 37 touchdowns (second) in the last five seasons. Andrews is going to be a risky DFS play if he's active on Saturday.
Jan 18, 2024 4:15 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (ankle), who remains on Injured Reserve, was upgraded to a full practice participant on Wednesday after he was listed as limited on Tuesday. Andrews suffered a major ankle injury in Week 11 and hasn't played since, although it's looking like he might have a good shot to be officially activated from Injured Reserve in order to be available to play this Saturday in the Divisional Round of the playoffs against the Houston Texans. The 28-year-old has been looking good in practices, but if he's activated and plays against Houston, there's a good chance that Isaiah Likely will still operate as the team's primary pass-catching tight end. For that reason, Andrews will be a pretty risk DFS play for Baltimore's first postseason game this year.

Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken said that tight end Mark Andrews (ankle) has looked good in practice but said Andrews' status is "day-to-day" heading into the Divisional Round of the playoffs this Saturday against the Houston Texans. Andrews was listed as limited in practice on Tuesday after returning to practice last Friday. The 28-year-old remains on Injured Reserve and hasn't played since getting hurt in Week 11, but if he finishes off the week with some strong practices, Baltimore could consider officially activating him to have him available on Saturday against Houston. Given the long layoff and serious nature of Andrews' injury, it's unlikely he'd have a serious role in the Ravens' offensive game play this weekend if he were active against the Texans.
Jan 17, 2024 4:23 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (ankle) is on the practice field on Tuesday leading up to the AFC Divisional Round game against the Houston Texans. The 28-year-old was designated to return from the Injured Reserve list on Friday and put in a limited practice session, and it appears he did not suffer any setbacks. Andrews was placed on Injured Reserve following the Week 11 win over the Baltimore Ravens with a major ankle injury exactly two months ago. Hopefully, he'll be activated for Saturday's game, but it's too early to tell. Fantasy managers and DFS gamers will need to check back later in the week for further updates. If he suits up, he'll have immediate DFS value, while Isaiah Likely will take a step back. Despite missing seven games, he leads the Ravens with six receiving touchdowns.
Jan 16, 2024 2:23 PM EST
The Baltimore Ravens designated Pro Bowl tight end Mark Andrews (ankle) to return from Injured Reserve on Friday, and he was limited to individual drills at practice on Friday. Andrews' return to practice comes two months after he suffered a serious left-ankle injury, but he looked fine running routes and cutting during individual drills. "I think we're on the same timetable that we were on," head coach John Harbaugh said after Friday's practice. "We're in that range. We'll get into next week, and we'll have a better idea." Andrews has been quarterback Lamar Jackson's favorite target since they were drafted by the Ravens in 2018, but it remains to be seen how productive the tight end will be if he's able to play in the postseason. He led the team with 54.4 receiving yards per game and six touchdowns through the first 11 weeks of 2023.
Jan 12, 2024 4:32 PM EST
The Baltimore Ravens designated tight end Mark Andrews (ankle) to return from Injured Reserve on Friday. Andrews suffered a season-ending ankle injury on Nov. 16 against the Cincinnati Bengals but he's returned to practice and could have a chance to return during the postseason, especially since the Ravens have a first-round bye and don't play their first playoff game until the Divisional Round next weekend. We'll have a better idea of the 28-year-old's status for the Divisional Round once he begins taking part in official practices next week. But getting Andrews back in any capacity would be a huge boost for the best team in football. Whether he'll be a productive fantasy option if he returns to play is another story. If Andrews doesn't return, Isaiah Likely will continue to serve as Baltimore's top pass-catching tight end.
Jan 12, 2024 2:09 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said that tight end Mark Andrews (ankle) is on schedule in his rehab from ankle surgery and is in good spirits. Harbaugh is still hopeful that Andrews can return to the team in the playoffs. "Our job is to get to that point. That's what we have to do - get to the point where we're still playing when he comes back," Harbaugh said. It helps that the Ravens locked up the No. 1 overall seed in the AFC and a first-round bye, but it remains to be seen if Andrews will be ready to go for the Divisional Round of the postseason. The 28-year-old fractured his fibula and suffered ligament damage in his ankle in Week 11 and will miss his sixth straight game in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Pittsburgh Steelers this Saturday. Isaiah Likely has been solid in Andrews' absence, catching 19 of 26 targets for 291 yards and four touchdowns in five games with Andrews sidelined.
Jan 3, 2024 12:16 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (ankle) has been placed on the injured reserve on Saturday. That means, the superstar tight end will miss at least the next four games. Andrews is expected to miss the rest of the regular season with a cracked fibula and ankle ligament damage. There's a small chance he returns late in the season, but fantasy managers shouldn't get their hopes up. In the meantime, Isaiah Likely should see more snaps as the primary tight end. Also, wide receivers Zay Flowers and Odell Beckham Jr. will likely have more targets coming their way with Andrews unavailable going forward.
Nov 25, 2023 6:17 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (ankle) is set to undergo surgery on his ankle on Tuesday in Charlotte with specialist Robert Anderson doing the procedure, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. Andrews suffered the ankle injury the first quarter of the Thursday Night Football contest in Week 11, and he is expected to miss the remainder of the 2023 season. However, head coach Jim Harbaugh said on Monday that Andrews has an "outside chance" of returning this season. He did not speculate on whether the potential return could be in the regular season or postseason. It would be surprising to see Andrews take the field again this year, but he'll likely do everything in his power to come back for the Ravens' playoff push in January.

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (ankle) suffered an ankle injury in the first quarter of the Thursday Night Football contest against the Cincinnati Bengals. The injury was initially believed to be season-ending, but further tests showed the damage was not as bad as originally feared. According to head coach John Harbaugh, Andrews has an "outside chance" to return at some point this season. For now, the expectation is that he will still miss multiple weeks, making Isaiah Likely an intriguing fantasy football option. However, fantasy managers might not want to drop Andrews in case he's back by Week 17 for the fantasy football championship round. There's a chance he won't make his return until the NFL playoffs or not at all, but this update provides some optimism.
Nov 20, 2023 2:39 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens Pro Bowl tight end Mark Andrews (ankle, leg) suffered a cracked fibula and a ligament injury to his ankle in Thursday night's win over the Cincinnati Bengals, according to sources after he underwent an MRI exam. It is still believed to be a long-term, season-ending injury as the Ravens said after the game on Thursday night, but the Ravens will consult with Dr. Robert Anderson in Charlotte next week for more information. Fantasy managers may feel more comfortable waiting for all the information to come out before outright dropping Andrews, but the bottom line is that the 28-year-old isn't expected to play again this year. It's a tough break for the Ravens and fantasy managers to lose one of the best tight ends in the game. In his absence, Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kolar should both see expanded roles, but neither will be a very attractive waiver-wire pickup.
Nov 17, 2023 7:09 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said that tight end Mark Andrews (ankle) likely is dealing with a season-ending ankle injury after going down early in the first quarter of Thursday night's eventual 34-20 win over the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals. Andrews looked to be in a lot of pain before trainers came to check on him and he was seen on crutches shortly after going to the locker room. It's a brutal blow to the Ravens offense and fantasy managers the rest of the way. Check back for more details on the specific nature of Andrews' ankle injury on Friday. Coming into Week 11, Andrews checked in as the TE3 in half-PPR fantasy points. It will be impossible to replace him straight up, but Isaiah Likely figures to see most of the tight end targets in Baltimore moving forward, although Charlie Kolar could also get involved.
Nov 16, 2023 11:54 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of the Thursday night matchup versus the Cincinnati Bengals. The stud tight end limped to the locker room after suffering an ankle injury during the opening drive of the game. Andrews reportedly wasn't able to put any weight on his foot by the time he got into X-ray room. That being said, fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if Andrews misses Week 12 or possibly longer. Fellow tight end Isaiah Likely becomes a must-have fantasy player with Andrews likely looking at a multi-week absence. The loss of Andrews should also mean more involvement for wide receivers Zay Flowers and Odell Beckham Jr. going forward.
Nov 16, 2023 9:07 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (ankle) is questionable to return to Thursday night's divisional clash against the Cincinnati Bengals with an ankle injury that he suffered early in the first quarter on the team's first drive. Andrews was in quite a bit of pain before trainers came out to the field to check on him. Quarterback Lamar Jackson looked to be pretty upset as well, and Andrews was seen walking very gingerly to the locker room to be checked out. We'd be surprised if he returns to this contest. It's terrible news for fantasy managers, but at least Andrews had two catches for 23 yards before leaving. If he's unable to return, Isaiah Likely will probably operate as Baltimore's primary tight end. Receivers Zay Flowers, Odell Beckham Jr. and Nelson Agholor could be peppered with more targets as well.
Nov 16, 2023 8:42 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews posted his worst performance of the season in Week 10 while the passing game took a backseat to the running back committee against the Cleveland Browns. The star tight end only saw four targets and two catches for 44 yards but is now primed to go up against one of the worst defenses against his position. The Cincinnati Bengals give up an average of 15.2 fantasy points per game in PPR formats to opposing tight ends and Andrews caught five balls for 45 yards and a touchdown the last time he played them. He should still be considered a TE1 and should remain in the starting lineup across all fantasy formats.
Nov 15, 2023 5:56 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews posted quite a disappointing performance in Week 10 in the team's close loss to the Cleveland Browns. The star pass-catcher finished with two catches for 44 yards on four targets. Both the target and catch totals were the fewest he's had all season and it was a stark difference from the last time he played the Browns in Week 4. He'll look to get back on track and see more volume against the Bengals in Week 11. He was able to put together a solid stat line against them in Week 3.
Nov 12, 2023 10:21 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews is set to take on one of his favorite matchups in Week 10 against the Cleveland Browns. Across the 11 games that he's played against the Browns, he's hauled in 48 receptions for 621 yards and nine touchdowns. His nine scores are the most against any opponent in his career and he even posted five catches for 80 yards and two scores against them in Week 4. Despite the fact that the Browns are the number one defense against opposing tight ends in fantasy this season, Andrews was the only one to get double-digit fantasy points against them. He'll continue to see the volume, so he comes in as a TE1 yet again.
