The Bottom Line

Michael Wilson is the better fantasy play this season.

Cross-position decisions depend on league format. In half-PPR, Michael Wilson (10.7 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.

Fantasy Tiers

Mark Andrews: Tier 4 (Bench/Bye Fill) TE (ranked #27 at the position). Michael Wilson: Tier 3 (Flex/Starter) WR (ranked #24 at the position). Comparing across positions, raw PPG is less useful than positional scarcity. A Tier 4 (Bench/Bye Fill) TE is harder to replace on waivers than a Tier 3 (Flex/Starter) WR in most league formats.

Mark Andrews vs Michael Wilson: The Full Breakdown

Comparing Mark Andrews (TE, Baltimore Ravens) against Michael Wilson (WR, Arizona Cardinals) means weighing two different roles in your fantasy lineup. Mark Andrews averaged 6.3 PPG in 2025 over 17 games, while Michael Wilson posted 10.7 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.

Mark Andrews has his bye in Week 13, Michael Wilson in Week 14. Plan your FLEX rotation around those weeks, especially if either player is anchoring your roster.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

If you can acquire Michael Wilson at a discount because your league-mates undervalue wide receiver production, do it. Mark Andrews is a reasonable sell-high candidate if his recent games have spiked above his season average. Dynasty outlook: Mark Andrews (age 30) is in the later years of production. Still a redraft asset, but dynasty value is declining. Michael Wilson (age 26) is in the middle of his productive window. Stable dynasty value.
