Second TE behind Andrews and a contributor in two-TE sets; Likely out elevates Kolar’s role modestly, with Mitchell-Paden providing additional depth behind him.

Kolar showed up as a real option in Baltimore’s TE rotation, highlighted by a notable misfire pass but overall pathway to more involvement in Todd Monken’s system, especially with increased two-TE looks.

Kolar’s pool participation highlights his growth in footwork and body control in tight spaces, traits that can boost his blocking, route-running and hands coordination. If those translate to on-field technique, he could become a more versatile red-zone and check-down option in a crowded Ravens offense.

Kolar’s inclusion signals Ravens’ willingness to integrate cross-sport mentorship into daily routines. As a tight end, his involvement with Phelps highlights a broader culture of growth and adaptability that could translate into more varied routes and plays, with potential fantasy upside in receiving corners and dynamic usage.

Charlie Kolar's future with the Ravens is uncertain as he enters the final season of his rookie contract. His role could diminish if the team decides to draft a tight end to reinforce the position.
