Brenton Strange vs Juwan Johnson
Juwan Johnson holds a 18% edge in Superflex dynasty value.Updated 10/2/2026
THE CASE FOR STRANGE
Strange is nearly 4.5 years younger, which matters at TE where multi-year value retention is a big part of the bet. The market already prices him ~22% higher in SF, giving you better insulation and easier liquidity in trades. If you’re chasing an ascending asset and can wait on role/target consolidation, Strange fits the dynasty profile better.
THE CASE FOR JOHNSON
Johnson is the cheaper way to buy near-term TE points, and his cost (SF 1,314) bakes in less downside if he’s just a streamer. He’s more likely than Strange to deliver usable weekly spikes immediately because his value is driven by role/usage rather than long runway speculation. If you need a stopgap TE2/bye-week starter, paying the discount for Johnson can be the more efficient build.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
If you need points now at TE, take the cheaper Johnson; if you’re not starting him weekly, pay up for Strange’s longer value runway.
Strange is the clear rebuild pick because of age, market premium, and better odds of holding/increasing value over the next 1–2 seasons.
In a vacuum I prefer Strange, but the decision flips to Johnson only when your roster specifically needs immediate TE starts at the lower cost.

Superflex?
In SF the TE-vs-TE gap is mostly about insulation and trade liquidity, and Strange’s higher price reflects that more than a guaranteed scoring edge.
