Evan Engram vs Mark Andrews: The Full Breakdown

The gap between Evan Engram and Mark Andrews is smaller than most fantasy managers think. Separated by just 1.4 PPG in 2025, this is one of those tight end decisions that comes down to context, not name recognition. Evan Engram averaged 4.9 PPG with the Denver Broncos across 16 games, and Mark Andrews posted 6.3 with the Baltimore Ravens in 17.

When two tight ends are separated by less than two points per game, the decision shifts to weekly context. Who has the softer defense? Who is trending up over the last month? Which team is projected for more total points? Those are the tiebreakers that actually matter.

Both see steady target volume for the tight end position. Evan Engram had 50 catches for 461 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.

Evan Engram has his bye in Week 10, and Mark Andrews rests in Week 13. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at tight end for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

Both are in a similar trade value range. A straight swap would be fair in most leagues, with the tiebreaker going to whichever manager values schedule or bye week more. Dynasty outlook: Evan Engram (age 31) is in the later years of production. 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.
