A fantasy draft is all about obtaining the most value with each selection. Value is available throughout a draft, and grabbing it is one of the most important keys to a successful fantasy team. To highlight this value, we asked our staff to review highly rated players who should still outperform their draft position.

Mark Andrews, Baltimore Ravens
Jason Wood: Mark Andrews is a prime candidate for a massive rebound in 2026. His 2025 season was undeniably abysmal, as he finished as the TE25 and fell completely off the fantasy radar. However, the market is overreacting to that slump while ignoring the dramatic roster clearing that just took place in Baltimore.
The Ravens signaled their intentions by jettisoning both Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kolar this offseason. By replacing them with only Durham Smythe, a veteran primarily known for blocking, the team has effectively handed the tight end passing-game workload back to Andrews. While Zay Flowers has established himself as the clear top wideout, Andrews is firmly locked in as the number two target in this offense. There is no longer a young, high-upside backup to siphon away his high-value looks.
When you factor in a healthy Lamar Jackson and a new offensive mindset under Declan Doyle, the path to relevance is clear. Doyle is expected to bring a fresh, aggressive approach to a passing game that had become stagnant and predictable. This modernized scheme will prioritize Andrews as a primary engine alongside Flowers. While this may be his final year as a featured piece in Baltimore, the lack of depth competition ensures a heavy target share. Andrews is a lock to return to weekly starter status at a significant draft discount.
Matt Waldman: The difference between Andrews' 2025 campaign as TE13 and his 2024 campaign as TE4 was 250 yards and 6 touchdowns. We're talking about 61 fantasy points -- 3.6 points per game.
The difference between Lamar Jackson's 2025 campaign as QB20 and his 2024 campaign as QB1 was 220 fantasy points -- 12.9 points per game. Jackson missed four games and played through significant injuries when he was on the field.
A healthy Jackson should result in Andrews earning close to that 3.6 point-per-game difference between 2024 and 2025. Expect a rebound year for Andrews unless you believe Andrews' game dropped off a cliff into a pit of dragons at the edge of the ocean because he turned 30 last year.
Bob Harris: There have been a lot of storylines in Baltimore this offseason, but one that hasn't received nearly as much attention as it should have is at tight end. Isaiah Likely followed former Ravens head coach John Harbaugh to New York, signing with the Giants as a free agent. Third-string tight end Charlie Kolar, a great blocking asset and capable receiver, signed with the Chargers. That leaves Mark Andrews, coming off a career-low 422 yards on 48 catches with five touchdowns in 2025, as the lone standout at the position.
Andrews' recent decline is a concern. After finishing in the top five in fantasy points per game at the position from 2019 through 2023 -- highlighted by a TE1 overall finish in 2021 -- the veteran star began sliding in 2024. He finished that season as TE8.
Last year, he was TE24.
But a new coaching staff, a thinned-out depth chart, and a healthy Lamar Jackson could lead to a rebound season for Andrews, who still benefits from heavy usage near the goal line (he's been top 10 in end-zone targets for seven straight seasons). At the very least, Andrews projects to be Jackson's security blanket when it matters most.
Andy Hicks: Andrews is getting overlooked among elite fantasy tight ends in 2026. Over his illustrious career, he hasn't gotten close to where his ADP is heading into this year. Last year's 13th-ranked finish is a signal to some that his career is waning and that it's time to look at younger options. The Ravens do not feel that way. With a new coaching regime in place, the team allowed Isaiah Likely, Andrews' biggest threat to playing time, to depart. Beyond blocking specialist Durham Smythe, they used only fourth and fifth-round picks on developmental rookies at the position, a supreme vote of confidence in Andrews.
Lamar Jackson is simpatico with Andrews, especially in the red zone. Despite last year's seven-year low with five touchdowns, his career average during that time is almost eight. Closer to that number this year, and his current ADP would start to look ridiculous. His days as a top-six fantasy tight end may be over, but he cannot be ruled out. The team hasn't meaningfully upgraded the rest of the offense, and while the new coaching staff could alter the run-pass balance, any shift in Baltimore is likely to benefit a player like Mark Andrews.
