Hunter Henry vs Mark Andrews: The Full Breakdown

If you are choosing between Hunter Henry and Mark Andrews for your lineup, you are not alone. Hunter Henry finished the 2025 season at 8.8 PPG for the New England Patriots (17 games), and Mark Andrews averaged 6.3 for the Baltimore Ravens (17 games).

That 2.5-point weekly advantage for Hunter Henry is meaningful but not automatic. Fantasy football is a week-to-week sport, and the answer to "who should I start" often changes based on opponent, recent form, and game environment. Season averages set the baseline; weekly context makes the call.

Both see steady target volume for the tight end position. Hunter Henry had 60 catches for 768 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: Hunter Henry sits Week 11 while Mark Andrews is off Week 13. If you are deciding between the two as a season-long roster hold, the staggered byes actually work in your favor.

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: Hunter Henry (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.
