Isaiah Likely vs Mark Andrews
Isaiah Likely holds a 36.7% edge in Superflex dynasty value.Updated 10/2/2026
THE CASE FOR LIKELY
Likely is ~4.5 years younger and already priced above Andrews (SF 2,030 vs 1,536), which fits a dynasty timeline and protects downside. His profile is built on athleticism and spike-week upside that can translate into a longer usable window at TE. If he’s stepping into a clearer weekly role, you’re paying for a multi-year starter with appreciation potential rather than a declining-curve asset.
THE CASE FOR ANDREWS
Andrews is still the proven difference-maker: elite track record, red-zone role, and weekly TE1 ceiling when healthy. For contenders, bankable targets and established chemistry in his offense can outscore the “next guy” even at age 30.9. His lower market price can be an efficiency buy if you’re chasing points now and can tolerate the shorter runway.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
Andrews for immediate production unless you’re already set at TE and prefer keeping the younger, higher-liquid asset in Likely.
Likely, because the age gap plus current value premium better fits a rebuild and preserves trade flexibility.
If your roster is middle-tier, take Likely unless you can acquire Andrews plus a meaningful add (e.g., a 2nd/3rd) to justify eating the age curve.
FREQUENTLY ASKED
Worth more?
Likely is worth more in dynasty markets right now by about 24%, but Andrews can be worth more to a weekly-starting contender.
Trade?
If you have Likely, ask for Andrews plus a small pick; if you have Andrews, target Likely straight up only if you’re retooling and can absorb short-term points loss.
Superflex?
In SF the TE gap matters less than QB/WR, so prefer the side that helps your competitive window—Andrews for points, Likely for longevity/liquidity.
