Andrews had two catches for 22 yards on three targets Sunday against the Steelers.
Analysis
Andrews' volatile snap count this season swung downward Sunday as he played 37 snaps (61 percent) after playing a season-high 51 snaps against the Bengals in Week 10. His targets dropped off as well. Outside of Andrews' seven-target game versus Cincinnati, Andrews has averaged 3.2 targets per game this season. He will face tough defenses against tight ends in the upcoming stretch with the Chargers and Eagles on tap before the Week 14 bye.
Andrews hauled in six of seven targets for 68 yards and a touchdown in the Ravens' 35-34 win over the Bengals on Thursday night.
Analysis
Andrews tied Rashod Bateman for the team lead in receptions while checking in second in both receiving yards and targets. The veteran tight end was operating in a more robust role than usual due to Isaiah Likely's absence with a hamstring injury, and he recorded his fifth touchdown grab of the season on an 18-yard catch with 5:50 remaining. Andrews has at least four receptions in three of his past four games heading into a Week 11 road showdown against the division-rival Steelers on Sunday night, Nov. 17.
Andrews could see extra playing time due to Isaiah Likely (hamstring) being ruled out for Thursday's game against the Bengals, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.
Analysis
Likely's upcoming absence significantly increases the chances of Andrews reprising his snap and route workloads from prior seasons. The 29-year-old has taken on 58 percent snap share and 57 percent route share this season, lagging slightly behind Likely (63 percent and 62 percent, respectively) in both categories. Third-string tight end Charlie Kolar also may get more playing time Thursday, and other adjustments may include more snaps for fullback Patrick Ricard and new wideout Diontae Johnson. The Ravens don't lack for skill-position talent even with Likely temporarily out of the picture.
Andrews caught both of his targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 41-10 win over the Broncos.
Analysis
Andrews' performance in Week 9 was a big letdown after he had upped his production over the previous three contests, scoring four touchdowns in that span. The 29-year-old's two targets accounted for his lowest total since Week 4, as he wasn't a major part of the game plan against a stingy Denver defense.
Andrews recorded five receptions on five targets for 36 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 29-24 loss to the Browns.
Analysis
Andrews' involvement in the Baltimore offense has stabilized, as he's now seen at least four targets in four consecutive games. His yardage total took a bit of a dip, as his longest catch went for just 11 yards. However, Andrews found the end zone on a seven-yard catch midway through the third quarter, tallying a touchdown for the third consecutive game.
Andrews caught all four of his targets for 41 yards and two touchdowns in Monday's 41-31 win over the Buccaneers.
Analysis
Andrews caught a nine-yard touchdown in the second quarter before adding a four-yard score in the third. The veteran tight end has three touchdowns in his last two games after opening the season on a five-game touchdown drought, and Andrews has 11 catches over that three-game span after posting only six catches through Week 4. Andrews still is ceding more snaps than in previous seasons to Isaiah Likely, but at least the recent uptick in production has Andrews back in the usable range for fantasy purposes heading into a Week 8 trip to Cleveland.
Andrews caught three of four targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-23 win over the Commanders.
Analysis
The veteran tight end put together his most productive game of the season, highlighted by a 13-yard TD grab just before halftime -- Andrews' first touchdown of the year. He still has yet to see more than five targets in a game, and his role as a pass catcher will likely take a back seat to his blocking assignments as long as Baltimore continues to make Derrick Henry the focal point of the offense. Andrews could still be able to carve out decent numbers again in Week 7 against the Buccaneers.
Andrews caught four of five targets for 55 yards in Sunday's 41-38 overtime win over the Bengals.
Analysis
After being blanked in Weeks 3 and 4 while seeing a meager two total targets, Andrews was more involved as a pass catcher Sunday and set a season high in receiving yards. As though to rub salt in the wound for those with fantasy shares in him though, three of Lamar Jackson's four passing TDs on the day went to other Baltimore tight ends, with Isaiah Likely bringing in two and little-used No. 3 TE Charlie Kolar hauling in a two-yard score in the fourth quarter. It's still a performance that Andrews can try to build on in Week 6 against the Commanders.
Andrews dropped his only target in Sunday's 35-10 win over the Bills.
Analysis
Andrews uncharacteristically dropped a sure catch that hit him in the hands early in Sunday's lopsided victory. The All-Pro tight end still helped his team to victory with several key blocks in front of Derrick Henry (24-199-1) and the rest of Baltimore's rushing attack. That said, the perennial fantasy stud has faded in 2024 to the tune of a 6-65-0 receiving line through four weeks, providing no relief for fantasy managers who took him early in drafts. Andrews will perhaps re-establish trust with both fantasy GMs and his MVP quarterback when the Ravens visit the Bengals in Week 5.
