Risk Flags
6- Age Concerns
Andrews wrapped up his 2025 season with 48 catches for 422 yards and five touchdowns, a notable decline from his 2024 production of 69 targets. He finished 26th/37 TEs in overall PFF grade at 64.4, with his receiving grade ranking 31st/37. At 30.4 years old, he's entering accelerated decline phase.
- Target Volume
Andrews finished third on the team in targets behind Zay Flowers and Isaiah Likely in 2025. Andrews caught two or fewer passes in three of the last four games, managing just an 8-83-0 line on 17 targets over that stretch, showing inconsistent volume depressed by Likely's emergence.
- Efficiency Collapse
Andrews' yards per route run plummeted from 1.88 (2024) to 1.30 (2025), his worst mark in years. He exceeded 34 receiving yards only once all season and caught two or fewer passes in three of his final four games, showing severe volume and efficiency decay.
- Injury Concerns
Andrews popped up on the injury report as a limited practice participant due to a glute injury heading into Week 15 (late 2025 season). While cleared quickly, recurring lower-body issues remain a concern given his history of ankle/foot problems.
- Declining Efficiency
Andrews' yards per route run declined from 1.97 (2022) to 1.93, 1.88, and 1.30 (2025), indicating a sharp efficiency drop in his most recent season. Andrews exceeded 34 receiving yards only once all season, so he relied on touchdowns to buoy fantasy value.
- Usage & Volume
Target share was trending DOWN (18% in final weeks of 2025 despite playing more snaps), signaling schematic de-prioritization before Likely even departed. New OC Declan Doyle (from Chicago) brings an unknown scheme adjustment that could cut either way.
