Baltimore Ravens stars Roquan Smith, Lamar Jackson, and Mark Andrews were all listed in Last Word On Sports<\/em>\u2019s top-50 NFL players list for 2023.<\/p>\n

The list series, written by Mike Kashuba<\/a> and voted on by Last Word On Sports<\/em>\u2019s pro football writers, recently concluded with the announcement of the top 10 NFL players<\/a> for 2023.<\/p>\n

3 Ravens in Last Word On Pro Football<\/em>\u2019s Top-50 NFL Players 2023 List<\/h2>\n

Mark Andrews (49)<\/h3>\n

In the 50-41 section<\/a>, Andrews snuck onto the list ranked at 49. He placed one spot ahead of Pat Surtain II, but one behind Tony Pollard. He was one of three tight ends that made the list, with George Kittle coming in at 24 and Travis Kelce cracking the top 10.<\/p>\n

Some fans might think 49 is a bit high for Andrews, given that the All-Pro tight end was only ranked 80th<\/sup><\/a> on the NFL Top 100 recently. However, there is a good justification for Andrews\u2019 place in the top 50. On the ranking, Kashuba had this to say:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhether it\u2019s <\/em>dynasty fantasy football<\/em><\/a> or real-life, Mark Andrews is one of the most important tight ends in the league. Andrews has either led the team in total yards or yards per game going back four seasons. At only 27 years old, he won\u2019t slow down any time soon.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

The star tight end certainly deserved a place on the list despite a down year last season. In 2022, Andrews managed 847 yards and five touchdowns in 15 games. While those are still top numbers for a tight end, he managed a whopping 1,361 yards and nine touchdowns in 2021.<\/p>\n

In 2023, Andrews remains Baltimore\u2019s top receiver. With Todd Monken at the helm<\/a>, the hope is that Baltimore\u2019s passing game will be reinvented for the better. Should that happen, Andrews would be a huge beneficiary.<\/p>\n

\n

Don\u2019t forget about Mark Andrews in a more pass heavy offense!<\/p>\n

Andrews current O\/U is 800.5 receiving yards on FanDuel. Andrews has eclipsed that in each of the last two seasons and three of the last four.<\/p>\n
