Dawson Knox vs Mark Andrews: Who Should You Start?
Dawson Knox (5.0 PPG) and Mark Andrews (6.3 PPG) produced nearly identical fantasy numbers in 2025. When two tight ends are this close on a per-game basis, the weekly matchup matters more than the season-long resume. Dawson Knox played 17 games for the Buffalo Bills; Mark Andrews suited up 17 times for the Baltimore Ravens.
A 1.3-point per-game gap over a full season is essentially noise. It means one extra catch, one fewer target, or a single broken play away from flipping the script. For a weekly start/sit call between these two, matchup analysis matters far more than the season line.
Both see steady target volume for the tight end position. Dawson Knox had 36 catches for 417 yards; Mark Andrews posted 48 for 422. At a position where most starters barely clear 7 PPG, this class of tight end is where the fantasy advantage lives week to week.
Bye weeks matter for roster construction: Dawson Knox sits Week 12 while Mark Andrews is off Week 14. If you are deciding between the two as a season-long roster hold, the staggered byes actually work in your favor.
