Brenton Strange vs Gunnar Helm
Brenton Strange holds a 28.5% edge in Superflex dynasty value.Updated 9/27/2026
THE CASE FOR STRANGE
Strange is the cleaner bet for near-term usable TE snaps and production, with the kind of role stability that matters in contending windows. At 25.6, he’s in the prime age band for tight ends and typically less volatile week-to-week than younger, projection-only stashes. The 14.1% gap in his favor is justified if you’re buying points, not just possibilities.
THE CASE FOR HELM
Helm is the better age-adjusted swing at 23.9, where even a modest role gain can spike dynasty value quickly. His lower cost makes him easier to stash through development, which is often the correct way to play the position in rebuilds. If you’re prioritizing ceiling outcomes and liquidity growth over immediate starts, Helm is the more attractive bet.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
Take Brenton Strange—he’s the more likely of the two to give you startable weeks sooner and justify the premium.
Take Gunnar Helm—slightly younger, cheaper, and the better profile for a patient value climb.
It’s close, but the current 14% price gap is about right: Strange for floor/points, Helm for upside per cost.
