Risk Flags
2- Target Competition
Cuevas sits TE4 on the post-cutdown depth chart, behind entrenched starter Mark Andrews, blocking-oriented Durham Smythe, and fellow rookie Matthew Hibner, who arrived a round earlier in the 2026 draft and profiles as the more likely early complementary pass-catcher.
- Offensive Context
Baltimore's run-first offense under Lamar Jackson has historically funneled modest volume to the TE room — Andrews himself has averaged only a handful of targets per game in recent seasons — which caps the receiving ceiling for whichever rookie wins the complementary role.
