J.K. Dobbins is the better fantasy start for 2026, averaging 11.0 PPG to Mark Andrews's 6.3 in 2025. Full head to head breakdown below.

The Bottom Line

J.K. Dobbins is the better fantasy play this season.

Cross-position decisions depend on league format. In half-PPR, J.K. Dobbins (11.0 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.

Moderate confidence: stats favor the leader, but matchup variance could flip this weekly.

Fantasy Tiers

J.K. Dobbins: Tier 4 (Bench/Bye Fill) RB (ranked #25 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 4 (Bench/Bye Fill) RB is harder to replace on waivers than a Tier 4 (Bench/Bye Fill) TE in most league formats.

J.K. Dobbins vs Mark Andrews: The Full Breakdown

Comparing J.K. Dobbins (RB, Denver Broncos) against Mark Andrews (TE, Baltimore Ravens) means weighing two different roles in your fantasy lineup. J.K. Dobbins averaged 11.0 PPG in 2025 over 10 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.

J.K. Dobbins has his bye in Week 10, Mark Andrews in Week 13. Plan your FLEX rotation around those weeks, especially if either player is anchoring your roster.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

J.K. Dobbins is a buy in trades where the other manager is chasing upside at a different position. Mark Andrews is a hold unless you can flip him for a positional upgrade elsewhere on your roster. Dynasty outlook: J.K. Dobbins (age 27) is approaching the age where RB production historically drops. Sell-high window is open. Mark Andrews (age 30) is in the later years of production. Still a redraft asset, but dynasty value is declining.
