Start Davante Adams over Mark Andrews in 2026.

Davante Adams averaged 13.8 PPG in 2025 to Mark Andrews's 6.3, a 7.5 point per game edge. Adams posted that edge in only 14 games, so the per-game ceiling is real but watch his availability. Davante Adams is Tier 2 among wide receivers, Mark Andrews is Tier 4 among tight ends.

The Bottom Line

Cross-position decisions depend on league format. In half-PPR, Davante Adams (13.8 PPG) is the higher-floor play. Mark Andrews (6.3 PPG) could win a specific week on touchdown variance. For FLEX spots, lean toward the player with the softer defensive matchup that week rather than defaulting to season averages.

High confidence: stats strongly favor the leader, and the gap is unlikely to close on matchup alone.

Fantasy Tiers

Davante Adams: Tier 2 (Strong Starter) WR (ranked #8 at the position). Mark Andrews: Tier 4 (Bench/Bye Fill) TE (ranked #27 at the position). Comparing across positions, raw PPG is less useful than positional scarcity. A Tier 2 (Strong Starter) WR is harder to replace on waivers than a Tier 4 (Bench/Bye Fill) TE in most league formats.

Davante Adams vs Mark Andrews: The Full Breakdown

Comparing Davante Adams (WR, Los Angeles Rams) against Mark Andrews (TE, Baltimore Ravens) means weighing two different roles in your fantasy lineup. Davante Adams averaged 13.8 PPG in 2025 over 14 games, while Mark Andrews posted 6.3 PPG across 17 games.

Cross-position FLEX decisions cannot be made on PPG alone. Positional scarcity, matchup quality, floor versus ceiling, and league scoring format all shift the answer. A 14 PPG tight end in a thin TE week is often worth more than a 16 PPG receiver in a deep WR week, because the opportunity cost on the waiver wire is wildly different.

DraftCall's AI engine weighs all of these signals and returns a verdict with clear reasoning, so you are not cross-referencing four different rankings tabs on a Sunday morning.

Davante Adams has his bye in Week 11, Mark Andrews in Week 13. Plan your FLEX rotation around those weeks, especially if either player is anchoring your roster.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

Still a redraft asset, but dynasty value is declining. Mark Andrews (age 30) is in the later years of production. Still a redraft asset, but dynasty value is declining.
