De'Von Achane vs Mark Andrews

Fantasy Football Comparison for the 2026 NFL Season

The Bottom Line

De'Von Achane is the better fantasy play this season.

Cross-position decisions depend on league format. In half-PPR, De'Von Achane (18.1 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.

High confidence: stats strongly favor the leader, and the gap is unlikely to close on matchup alone.

Fantasy Tiers

De'Von Achane: Tier 1 (Elite) RB (ranked #5 at the position). Mark Andrews: Tier 4 (Bench/Bye Fill) TE (ranked #27 at the position). Comparing across positions, raw PPG is less useful than positional scarcity. A Tier 1 (Elite) RB is harder to replace on waivers than a Tier 4 (Bench/Bye Fill) TE in most league formats.

De'Von Achane vs Mark Andrews: Who Should You Start?

Comparing De'Von Achane (RB, Miami Dolphins) against Mark Andrews (TE, Baltimore Ravens) means weighing two different roles in your fantasy lineup. De'Von Achane averaged 18.1 PPG in 2025 over 16 games, while Mark Andrews posted 6.3 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.

De'Von Achane has his bye in Week 12, Mark Andrews in Week 7. Plan your FLEX rotation around those weeks, especially if either player is anchoring your roster.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

If you can acquire De'Von Achane at a discount because your league-mates undervalue running back production, do it. Mark Andrews is a reasonable sell-high candidate if his recent games have spiked above his season average. Dynasty outlook: De'Von Achane (age 24) has not yet hit the RB cliff. High dynasty ceiling if volume holds. Mark Andrews (age 30) is in the later years of production. Still a redraft asset, but dynasty value is declining.
