Their 2025 seasons

He caught 18 of 36 targets for 262 yards and 1 touchdown, with 3 red zone targets.

Both were available for 17 games that season.

Side by side

In 2025 Mark Andrews scored 7.7 PPR points a game and Jahan Dotson 3.0, 4.8 a game between them.

Jahan Dotson finished WR109 and Mark Andrews TE16, which are two different ladders.

Jahan Dotson is a wide receiver and Mark Andrews a tight end, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Jahan Dotson is off in Week 11 and Mark Andrews in Week 13, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

0.3 points a game is the entire case. The market restates it every week, and a line that moves moves the order with it.

The draft market is the half that is missing: when live drafts hold these two again they can order them differently from the projection, and this page will follow the drafts rather than the market-based projection when they do.
