Ravens tight end Mark Andrews signs a 3-year, $39.3 million extension to stay in Baltimore.
Rumors of a Mark Andrews demise were sorely overstated. The Ravens all time leading receiver will stay in Baltimore for 3 more years to the tune of $39.3 million.
The move comes at the surprise of those who thought Isaiah Likely would take over the TE1 role, allowing Andrews to leave in free agency. The Ravens value Andrews as does star quarterback Lamar Jackson. Andrews’ 9.2 fantasy points per game rank 19th, however the 6 seasons prior, Andrews ranked 7th or better in that metric. His dynasty value is a whole lot safer with his new 3-year deal.

Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens struggle to get offense going in their Thanksgiving Day Game verse the Cincinnati Bengals.
The Baltimore Ravens fell to the Cincinnati Bengals in their Thanksgiving Day matchup, struggling to generate offense in their 13-32 loss. Former two-time MVP Lamar Jackson threw for 246 yards and added 27 rushing yards. Derrick Henry led the backfield with 60 yards and a touchdown, but Baltimore’s wide receivers were held in check, none topping 25 yards.
The Ravens leaned heavily on their tight ends instead. Isaiah Likely led the team with 95 yards on five receptions, while Mark Andrews contributed four catches for 47 yards.
Lamar and the Ravens draw favorable matchups in the coming weeks, with games against the Pittsburg Steelers and another meeting with the Bengals on deck.

Lamar Jackson left the game against the Kansas City Chiefs with a hamstring injury.
In week 4 action against the Kansas City Chiefs, star quarterback Lamar Jackson left the game with a hamstring injury. The Ravens went on to lose the game and fall to a record of 1-3.
Lamar’s status for Week 5 remains unknown, and the team will be monitoring him at practice throughout the week. Heading into the clash with the Chiefs, Jackson looked his usual self, throwing 54 completions good for 722 yards and 9 touchdowns while adding one on the ground. Fantasy managers will want to try and grab Cooper Rush off the waiver wire if no other quarterback options are available.

Baltimore finds success throwing the ball against the Browns behind Lamar’s 4 Touchdowns
In a game where neither offenses were looking very good the Ravens find successes this week behind the arm and not the legs of Lamar Jackson as he throws for over 200 yards and 4 passing TDs. The Ravens found themselves in unfamiliar territory at halftime this week against the Browns: just 14 total rushing yards. Looking for answers, they turned to the passing game. Lamar Jackson delivered with 3 passing touchdowns, two of which went to rookie receiver Devontez Walker.
Lamar is eyeing another top 5 finish this week as we wait for Mondays games to finish. He appears to be the favorite for QB1 on the year, and if he can consistently put up top 5 weekly performances without relying on his running game, it will be hard to argue that he won’t.
Devontez becomes a player to keep an eye on in deeper formats. This could be just a boom week as he only had two catches but there isn’t much target demand outside of Zay for this team and could carve out a roll if he can continue to build on this week.

Jackson and Allen’s elite status in fantasy put on display during the Bills’ epic comeback win over the Ravens.
The NFL’s first Sunday night game of the season slated two fantasy juggernauts against each other and didn’t disappoint. In an 81-point, offensive barrage, Lamar and Co. held the lead for most of the game, but a 4th quarter fumble gave Allen just what he needed to spark a comeback win for the Bills.
Allen showed why he won the MVP award last year as he threw for almost 400 yards and 2 TDs. He also scored twice on the ground as he continues to see usage as a runner inside the 5 yard line. On the other side Jackson delivered what we’ve grown accustomed to seeing, accumulating 209 yards and 2 TDs through the air, as well as adding 70 rushing and a touchdown on just 6 carries.
Allen looks primed to be QB1 overall again this year with his floor being more elevated than most due to his usage around the goal line.

The Ravens athletic tight end will most likely miss Week 1, leaving Mark Andrews with plenty of opportunity.
The Baltimore Ravens will be without half of their epic tight end duo with Isaiah Likely looking like he will sit out Week 1. The beneficiary is 3-time Pro Bowler Mark Andrews.
Likely had surgery on his foot this offseason and is still recovering. The news doesn’t come as much of a surprise as all reports leading up to this have indicated the timeline for Likely’s return to be in the early part of the season, leaving Week 1 murky.
Things will open up for wide receiver Zay Flowers and Mark Andrews. Lamar Jackson will certainly thrive in a game against the Buffalo Bills that has a Vegas total of 50.5. Rashod Bateman becomes a nice DFS play as well. Ironically, this sets up as a good redemption game for Mark Andrews who is ready to turn the page after a back breaking drop late in a playoff matchup last season with the aforementioned Bills.
