Mark Andrews vs Mason Taylor: Who Should You Start?
This is a genuine coin flip on paper. Mark Andrews finished the 2025 season at 6.3 PPG over 17 games with the Baltimore Ravens, while Mason Taylor clocked in at 5.1 across 13 appearances for the New York Jets. A 1.2-point gap means any given week could go either way.
With a margin this thin, season averages are not the deciding factor. Weekly variables like opponent defense, game script, and injury status carry more weight than a fraction of a PPG. The right start in Week 6 might be the wrong start in Week 14.
Both see steady target volume for the tight end position. Mark Andrews had 48 catches for 422 yards; Mason Taylor posted 44 for 369. 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: Mark Andrews is off Week 14 and Mason Taylor Week 12. 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.
