Mark Andrews enters the 2026 NFL season as the Baltimore Ravens’ clear lead tight end following the departures of Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kolar, reducing competition for targets in an offense shifting under new coordinator Declan Doyle toward more play-action, under-center work, and rhythm concepts that have historically suited Lamar Jackson’s passing game. The 31-year-old posted career lows of 48 receptions and 422 yards with five touchdowns in 2025 amid efficiency drops, yet the organization has publicly signaled expectations of a rebound, and consensus projections center around seven to eight receiving scores over 17 games. His red-zone usage and Jackson connection remain core strengths, though age-related decline and the run-heavy presence of Derrick Henry could cap volume in certain game scripts.
