Mark Andrews Week 1 Outlook - Ravens at Colts

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Sun, Sep 13th 2026, 12:44pm EDT

Mark Andrews is coming off his worst season in the NFL as the TE23 in fantasy points per game. Last year, Baltimore limited his playing time, as he was 22nd in route share (62.9%, per Fantasy Points Data). I'm expecting that to rebound in 2026 with Isaiah Likely gone, but we still have to see it materialize. Last year, among 59 qualifying tight ends, Andrews was ninth in first-read share, but his yards per route run (41st) and first downs per route run (27th) were nothing to write home about. Andrews could have a nice game in Week 1 that quells some of my concerns about his 2026 season. Last year, Indy allowed the fourth-most yards per target and the 12th-most fantasy points per opportunity to tight ends. Lou Anarumo's defenses have bled out production to tight ends over the years, so this wasn't a one-year isolated incident. I think it transfers over to 2026.
