Brenton Strange vs George Kittle
George Kittle holds a 39.3% edge in Superflex dynasty value.Updated 10/1/2026
THE CASE FOR STRANGE
Strange is 7+ years younger, and TE breakouts often arrive late, so his value curve still has runway if he grows into a full-time role. Jacksonville’s TE room is not locked down long-term, giving him a plausible path to increased snaps and targets with normal year-to-year usage volatility. At a materially lower cost than elite TEs, he’s a bet on role expansion and longevity rather than paying for peak production.
THE CASE FOR KITTLE
Kittle is a proven difference-maker with league-winning weekly ceiling when healthy, and he remains one of the most efficient TEs in football. Even in a target-competitive offense, he can post spike weeks that swing matchups—exactly what you buy at the position. The 19.3% price premium is modest relative to the scoring separation he can create over replacement-level TEs for contenders.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
Kittle—pay the premium for immediate impact and positional advantage, unless you’re unusually deep at TE and need to allocate points elsewhere.
Strange—take the age and optionality, and don’t tie rebuild value to a 32-year-old TE whose market can drop fast with any injury or usage dip.
Kittle if you’re chasing points in the next 1–2 years; Strange if you’re prioritizing value insulation and multi-year flexibility.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
Worth more?
Kittle is worth more in win-now builds; Strange can be “worth more” only in rebuilds where age insulation matters more than 2026 points.
Trade?
If buying Kittle, try to pay Strange + a 2nd (or equivalent) rather than a 1st; if selling Kittle, ask for Strange + a 2nd-plus or a comparable young starter.
Superflex?
In SF, QB value pushes TE premiums down slightly, but the conclusion holds: Kittle for contenders, Strange for rebuilds.
