George Kittle vs Mark Andrews: Who Should You Start?
Deciding between George Kittle and Mark Andrews is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The San Francisco 49ers tight end put up 12.1 PPG in 2025 over 11 games; Mark Andrews of the Baltimore Ravens averaged 6.3 in 17. A 5.8-point margin that could shift on any given week.
The per-game difference of 5.8 points favors George Kittle, though savvy managers know that gap can shrink or widen depending on the weekly slate. Defensive matchup, recent scoring trends, and health status all shift the calculus from one tight end to the other.
Both see steady target volume for the tight end position. George Kittle had 57 catches for 628 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.
One scheduling note: George Kittle is off Week 9 and Mark Andrews Week 14. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in tight end for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.
