Analysis

The Ravens' offseason turnover at the position — Isaiah Likely, Charlie Kolar, and receiving fullback Pat Ricard all departing in free agency — leaves the complementary pass-catching job behind Andrews genuinely unsettled, and Cuevas answered with a team-high receiving day in the preseason finale that hints at real seam and red-zone traits. Even so, the position's overall ceiling in this run-heavy offense is modest — Andrews himself has drawn only a handful of targets per game in recent seasons — so whichever rookie wins the complementary role should expect limited weekly volume as a rookie. Key things to track: whether Cuevas or Hibner separates for passing-down snaps as the season unfolds, and Andrews' health and mentorship arc, since any absence would accelerate opportunity for the rookies. This profiles as a hold or a speculative buy-low rather than a sell — his age and preseason flash make him worth stashing through the next year or two while the depth chart sorts itself out, but he isn't yet a priority trade target given the crowded room.

Risk & Opportunity Analysis (4 flags)

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.

Opportunity Flags

2
  • Role Opportunity

    Baltimore's offseason TE turnover — Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kolar departing along with receiving-capable fullback Pat Ricard — leaves the complementary pass-catching job behind Andrews genuinely open for Cuevas or Hibner to claim.

  • Early Usage Signal

    Cuevas posted a team-high receiving day in the preseason finale against Minnesota, an early sign the staff sees pass-catching traits worth developing.
