Fantasy Tiers

Mark Andrews: Tier 4 (Bench/Bye Fill) TE (ranked #27 at the position). Stefon Diggs: Tier 4 (Bench/Bye Fill) WR (ranked #30 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 4 (Bench/Bye Fill) WR in most league formats.

Mark Andrews vs Stefon Diggs: The Full Breakdown

Comparing Mark Andrews (TE, Baltimore Ravens) against Stefon Diggs (WR, New England Patriots) means weighing two different roles in your fantasy lineup. Mark Andrews averaged 6.3 PPG in 2025 over 17 games, while Stefon Diggs posted 9.9 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, Stefon Diggs in Week 11. Plan your FLEX rotation around those weeks, especially if either player is anchoring your roster.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

If you can acquire Stefon Diggs 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. Stefon Diggs (age 32) is in the later years of production. Still a redraft asset, but dynasty value is declining.
