Andrews secured eight of 16 targets for 85 yards and rushed once for no gain in the Ravens' 16-13 overtime loss to the Steelers on Sunday.
Analysis: To label the star tight end Tyler Huntley's security blanket would be a major understatement, as Andrews was targeted nine more times than the next-closest pass catcher, Marquise Brown. Andrews easily paced the Ravens in receptions and receiving yards as a result, a performance that closed out what was a spectacular last month-plus of the regular season. Andrews recorded at least six receptions and Sunday's 85 yards in each of this last five contests, a sample in which he also eclipsed the 100-yard mark on three occasions. The final surge left Andrews with a career-best 107 receptions and 1,361 receiving yards, numbers he complemented with nine touchdowns. Andrews arguably will be as much or an even more coveted of a fantasy asset as Travis Kelce and George Kittle at the tight end position ahead of the 2022 season.
Mark Andrews Automatic on six targets
Andrews caught six passes for 89 yards on six targets against the Rams on Sunday.
Analysis: This is clearly a strong performance on Andrews' part, yet relative to recent production, it probably qualifies as a down game. Andrews is on a memorable tear right now, and it's a testament to his abilities that a game like this can come across as almost disappointing. Andrews posted at least 115 yards and one touchdown receiving in each of the three games prior, and he drew double-digit targets in six of the eight preceding contests. The Steelers held Andrews to one of his more pedestrian performances of the season in Week 13 (four catches for 50 yards on nine targets), but the talented tight end will get his chance for redemption against Pittsburgh in Week 18.
