The Bottom Line

Tyler Warren is the better fantasy play this season.

Tyler Warren has the edge, but it is not a runaway. The 2.6-PPG advantage is real (8.9 to 6.3), and Tyler Warren's 5 touchdowns show scoring upside. Mark Andrews is the buy-low candidate if recent production has dipped, because the talent gap is smaller than the numbers suggest.

Mark Andrews vs Tyler Warren: The Full Breakdown

Two tight ends who will land on plenty of the same rosters in 2026. Mark Andrews (Baltimore Ravens) finished the 2025 season averaging 6.3 fantasy points per game in 17 games. Tyler Warren (Indianapolis Colts) came in at 8.9 PPG over 17 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.

Tyler Warren carries a 2.6-point PPG advantage from the 2025 season. That baseline matters, but it is one input among several. Matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and injury reports move the needle week to week, which is why the best answer changes depending on when you are asking.

Tyler Warren is the volume tight end in this matchup with 76 receptions for 817 yards, while Mark Andrews profiles as a more touchdown-dependent spike play (5 scores on 48 catches). In weeks where Mark Andrews finds the end zone he out-scores Tyler Warren, but the floor gap is real.

One thing to note: both players share a Week 13 bye. That means you need a backup plan at tight end for that week, especially if one of these two is your starter.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

Both are in a similar trade value range. A straight swap would be fair in most leagues, with the tiebreaker going to whichever manager values schedule or bye week more. Dynasty outlook: Mark Andrews (age 30) is in the later years of production. Still a redraft asset, but dynasty value is declining. Tyler Warren (age 24) has years of prime production ahead. Buy-and-hold dynasty asset.
