Mark Andrews: 2026 Fantasy Football Outlook
Mark Andrews's 6.3 half-PPR points per game in 2025 sit below what a TE11 draft price usually buys — July 2026 drafters were paying for projection, not the previous season's line.
This week's projection is in the Week 5 card below. The July 2026 draft-day read that follows is opinion, framed from the cited 2025 data.
Mark Andrews
TE · Baltimore Ravens
- Week 5 injury reportInjury report — hand, full practice
This week · Week 5
Projected 7.8 half-PPR points in Week 5, with a likely range of 3.1 to 15.3.
at ATL · Sun 8:20 PM ET
Forecast 7.8 Half-PPR points: the Vegas line takes away 0.9, the matchup nothing. Show how it is built.
| Step | Points | Running total |
|---|---|---|
| Baseline: His role and efficiency over 4 games, with his preseason TE11 ADP at 33% weight, at his usual line | 8.5 | 8.5 |
| Vegas: BAL implied 20.3 vs 27.1 in his games | −0.9 | 7.6 |
| Matchup: ATL 15th softest vs TE: already in the Vegas line | 0.0 | 7.6 |
| Availability: Durham Smythe ruled out: his share +3% | +0.2 | 7.8 |
| Projection | 7.8 | 7.8 |
Each step is the change from switching that factor on, in this order, so the steps add up to the projection. The matchup adds nothing with a line: the model's backtest found the line already prices the defense.
- Hurts: BAL is implied for 20.3 points, 8th-highest of 8 teams with a line this week.
- Context: ATL ranks 15th of 32 defenses in fantasy points allowed to TEs, where 1st allows the most (context, not in the projection).
- Context: a retractable roof, treated as indoors.

The July 2026 draft-day read
This is the July 2026 pre-draft read, kept as published. Every ADP and market figure on this page comes from the Fantasy Football Calculator snapshot of Jul 15, 2026 and is not updated in-season — 2026 drafts are over and ADP has stopped moving. In-season tools
The numbers behind the read
| Metric | Value | Source |
|---|---|---|
| ADP (July 2026) | 128.4 | Fantasy Football Calculator |
| Overall ADP rank (July 2026) | 130 | Fantasy Football Calculator |
| Fantasy points / game | 6.3 | nflverse |
| Points over expected (FPOE) | +0.4 | nflverse |
| Target share | 17.1% | nflverse |
| Target share, last 3 games (2025) | 17.5% | nflverse |
| Sleeper search rank (July 2026) | 96 | Sleeper |
xFP (expected fantasy points) is what a typical player would score with the same targets, carries and field position. FPOE (points over expected) is actual points minus xFP, per game.
The consensus read
Mark Andrews was drafted as the TE11 — ADP 128.4 — in July 2026. His 6.3 half-PPR points per game in 2025 clears the TE starter line.
- ADP 128.4
- Overall ADP rank 130
- Sleeper search rank 96
- Fantasy points / game 6.3
The edge case — what had to be true
Every belief was tied to a checkpoint: the exact data point that would confirm or deny it, with its value at the time of the July 2026 read. Check them against what has actually happened since.
-
Checkpoint
Target share, last 3 games vs season (2025)
17.5% last 3 vs 17.1% season (2025) · as of July 2026
Steady: 0.4 points between the last three games and the season is ordinary game-to-game noise, so this checkpoint does not lean either way.
-
Checkpoint
Points over expected (FPOE) per game, season (2025)
+0.4 pts/gm vs expectation (2025) · as of July 2026
Steady: within half a point a game of expectation, so his usage explains his scoring and this checkpoint does not lean either way.
