Mark Andrews DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

The Baltimore Ravens didn't activate tight end Mark Andrews (ankle) from Injured Reserve on Friday in order for him to play in Saturday's Divisional Round playoff game against the Houston Texans. Andrews was designated to return from IR at the end of last week and even put in two full practices this week, but ultimately he will not play after being listed as questionable on Thursday's final injury report. If the Ravens beat Houston and advance to the AFC Championship, Andrews, quarterback Lamar Jackson's favorite target when healthy, will be an option to play next weekend. The 28-year-old has been on IR since fracturing his left fibula and suffering ligament damage in his left ankle in Week 11. Isaiah Likely is a worthwhile DFS option if you're trying to save money at the position. He's scored five times in his last five games.

The Baltimore Ravens are not expected to activate star tight end Mark Andrews (ankle) from Injured Reserve on Friday in order to play against the Houston Texans in Saturday's Divisional Round playoff game, as he's not quite ready to return from a significant ankle injury that has kept him out since Week 11. If the Ravens beat the Texans and advance to the AFC Championship, perhaps Andrews will be ready then. The 28-year-old put in full practices on Wednesday and Thursday and was listed as questionable for Saturday's game, but the Ravens aren't going to push it and will hold Andrews out. It means that Isaiah Likely, who has scored five touchdowns in his last five games, will once again be the team's top pass-catching tight end and will be a solid DFS play if you're trying to save money at the TE position.

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said it's still undecided if tight end Mark Andrews (ankle) will play in Saturday's Divisional Round playoff game against the Houston Texans, and he's officially listed as questionable. Andrews practiced this week for the first time since injuring his left ankle on Nov. 16 before being put on Injured Reserve. The good news is Andrews practiced in full on Wednesday and Thursday, but it doesn't necessarily mean he'll be active on Sunday or even have a big role if he does suit up. Andrews has been quarterback Lamar Jackson's favorite target since they were both selected by the Ravens in the 2018 draft. He ranks in the top three at the TE position with 347 catches (second), 4,305 yards (third) and 37 touchdowns (second) in the last five seasons. Andrews is going to be a risky DFS play if he's active on Saturday.

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (ankle), who remains on Injured Reserve, was upgraded to a full practice participant on Wednesday after he was listed as limited on Tuesday. Andrews suffered a major ankle injury in Week 11 and hasn't played since, although it's looking like he might have a good shot to be officially activated from Injured Reserve in order to be available to play this Saturday in the Divisional Round of the playoffs against the Houston Texans. The 28-year-old has been looking good in practices, but if he's activated and plays against Houston, there's a good chance that Isaiah Likely will still operate as the team's primary pass-catching tight end. For that reason, Andrews will be a pretty risk DFS play for Baltimore's first postseason game this year.

Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken said that tight end Mark Andrews (ankle) has looked good in practice but said Andrews' status is "day-to-day" heading into the Divisional Round of the playoffs this Saturday against the Houston Texans. Andrews was listed as limited in practice on Tuesday after returning to practice last Friday. The 28-year-old remains on Injured Reserve and hasn't played since getting hurt in Week 11, but if he finishes off the week with some strong practices, Baltimore could consider officially activating him to have him available on Saturday against Houston. Given the long layoff and serious nature of Andrews' injury, it's unlikely he'd have a serious role in the Ravens' offensive game play this weekend if he were active against the Texans. UPDATE: Andrews practiced in full Wednesday.
