NBC SportsThe Athletic's Jeff Zrebiec writes that the Ravens could consider trading or extending Mark Andrews this offseason.

A wide gamut of possibilities. The basic crux of the situation is that Andrews has a $17 million cap hit and moving on from him would save the cap-strapped Ravens $11 million in cap room. Zrebiec writes that it "seems highly unlikely" Andrews would be released, but that the team could consider trading him "if they can get back quality draft capital in return" or extending him in a move that would lower his 2025 cap figure. Ominously, Zrebiec ends the section talking about Isaiah Likely entering the final year of his rookie deal and writes "it would be very hard to have both Andrews and Likely on big-money tight end deals." It sure reads like there's some rubber that needs to meet the road on Andrews' contract this year, even if, as Zrebiec concedes, it would "be nearly impossible to say the Ravens would be better" without Andrews.

NBC SportsIsaiah Likely caught 4-of-5 targets for 73 yards and one touchdown in the Ravens' AFC Divisional Round loss to the Bills.

Likely delivered jarringly volatile results in his third NFL season, finishing as the PPR TE16 (123.7 points). He holds the agonizing distinction of producing five weekly TE1 finishes, bookended by six weekly finishes outside the position's top 30. Likely caught 42-of-56 targets for 477 yards and six touchdowns on the year. Likely notably improved his yards per route run average by more than one-third of a yard, closing the season with a 1.71 average. Perhaps most importantly, Likely (nine) finished second only to Mark Andrews (10) for the team-high in playoff targets while leading the team in receiving yards (126) during that span. Andrews' waning season-long efficiency coupled with Likely's late-season productivity could give Likely the inside track for the team's No. 1 tight end role in 2025. Fantasy managers should strongly consider drafting Likely accordingly.

NBC SportsRashod Bateman caught 4-of-5 targets for 66 yards and one touchdown in the Ravens' AFC Divisional Round loss to the Bills.

Bateman caught 45-of-67 targets for 756 yards and nine touchdowns en route to the PPR WR40 finish. His latter three receiving statistics are all regular season career-highs. Bateman remains a somewhat volatile producer week-to-week but intriguingly closes 2024 with his second-best yards per route run average (1.72). Fantasy managers should expect him to build on this strong showing next year. Bateman's field-stretching role is made easier by wide receiver Zay Flowers and tight end Isaiah Likely's continued development, giving Bateman decent odds of breaking into the WR3 ranks in 2025.

NBC SportsMark Andrews caught 5-of-7 targets for 61 yards, rushed two times for three yards and lost one fumble in the Ravens' AFC Divisional Round loss to the Bills.

Andrews closes 2024 as the overall TE6 in PPR scoring (188.8 points), catching 55-of-69 targets for 673 yards and 11 touchdowns while rushing four times for five yards. The Ravens' veteran tight end scored just 22.0 PPR points in Week 1-5, dogged by rumors of an off-field injury. He bucked the trend thereafter though, producing four TE1 finishes in Weeks 6-10, including two finishes in the top three. Andrews can still be drafted as a mid-tier TE1 next season but fantasy managers should note that Andrews' per-route efficiency has steadily ticked downward in each of the last three seasons, ultimately dropping from 2.18 yards per route run in 2021 to 1.88 this season. His 2024 average is still among the position's best but his decline must be acknowledged nonetheless. The Ravens' No. 2 tight end Isaiah Likely also has a chance to assert himself as the team's preferred option.
