Mark Andrews 2023 Outlook: More Target Competition But More Overall Volume
2 years agoBaltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews is right in the mix for the second-best tight end in the NFL behind Travis Kelce. He has a 1,361-yard season on his resume and three other seasons of at least 700 yards receiving -- all in a run-first Ravens' offense. However, it appears Baltimore's offense will see a philosophy change under new offensive coordinator Todd Monken, meaning more overall passing attempts for Lamar Jackson. Andrews will have his stiffest competition for targets in 2023 with Odell Beckham Jr. Rashod Bateman, and Zay Flowers in the mix, but the increase in volume should make up for the potential target share regression. There's also a real chance Andrews is still the bonafide No. 1 option for Jackson and the team should be expected to have one of the highest-scoring offenses in 2023. At worst, he'll be a top-three option for Jackson, but his top target in the red zone. Ultimately, he has a mid-level TE1 floor and TE1 overall ceiling after a few seasons of high-upside play at the scarce position for fantasy production.
