Brenton Strange vs Mark Andrews
Values are nearly even — within 5% of each other.Updated 9/17/2026
THE CASE FOR STRANGE
Strange is 5+ years younger and already priced similarly to Andrews in SF, giving you a longer runway at a position that ages well but still declines fast once it hits. Jacksonville’s TE room is less about competing with an alpha like prime Andrews and more about Strange growing into a larger target share if he earns it. If he hits, the current 8.9% value edge plus age curve can compound into a meaningful dynasty win; if he doesn’t, you’re not paying a premium that buries you.
THE CASE FOR ANDREWS
Andrews is the proven difference-maker: multiple elite fantasy seasons and a clear history of commanding end-zone looks and high-leverage targets. Even at 30.9, he’s still the type of TE who can swing weekly matchups in a contender build when healthy, and his role is far more bankable than Strange’s projection. In tight-end premium (or if your league rewards weekly ceiling), Andrews’ near-term advantage can dwarf the small current value gap.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
Andrews—take the bankable weekly ceiling and points now unless you’re forced to liquidate aging assets.
Strange—similar market value with a much better age runway and less downside to holding through a multi-year build.
With only an 8.9% gap, use team direction as the tiebreaker: Andrews for points, Strange for timeline and optionality.
FREQUENTLY ASKED
Worth more?
In a vacuum Andrews should be worth more than Strange, but current pricing makes Strange the better value bet and Andrews the better scorer.
Trade?
If you can swap Strange + a small add for Andrews as a contender, do it; if you’re rebuilding, flip Andrews for Strange + a 2nd (or equivalent) if possible.
Superflex?
SF pushes both down relative to QBs/WRs, so prioritize whichever one best fits your competitive window rather than overpaying for either.
