Fantasy Tiers

Mark Andrews: Tier 4 (Bench/Bye Fill) TE (ranked #27 at the position). Tetairoa McMillan: Tier 4 (Bench/Bye Fill) WR (ranked #26 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 Tetairoa McMillan: The Full Breakdown

Comparing Mark Andrews (TE, Baltimore Ravens) against Tetairoa McMillan (WR, Carolina Panthers) means weighing two different roles in your fantasy lineup. Mark Andrews averaged 6.3 PPG in 2025 over 17 games, while Tetairoa McMillan posted 10.5 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, Tetairoa McMillan in Week 5. Plan your FLEX rotation around those weeks, especially if either player is anchoring your roster.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

Tetairoa McMillan is a buy in trades where the other manager is chasing upside at a different position.

Still a redraft asset, but dynasty value is declining. Tetairoa McMillan (age 23) has years of prime production ahead. Buy-and-hold dynasty asset.
