Fantasy Tiers

Brenton Strange: Tier 3 (Flex/Starter) TE (ranked #19 at the position). Dallas Goedert: Tier 1 (Elite) TE (ranked #5 at the position). Among the top 30 tight ends this season, Brenton Strange is producing at 36% of elite pace and Dallas Goedert at 47%. That ranking gap means Dallas Goedert carries more trade value and a higher draft cost in 2026.

Brenton Strange vs Dallas Goedert: Who Should You Start?

Deciding between Brenton Strange and Dallas Goedert is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The Jacksonville Jaguars tight end put up 7.9 PPG in 2025 over 12 games; Dallas Goedert of the Philadelphia Eagles averaged 10.3 in 15. A 2.4-point margin that could shift on any given week.

The per-game difference of 2.4 points favors Dallas Goedert, though savvy managers know that gap can shrink or widen depending on the weekly slate. Defensive matchup, recent scoring trends, and health status all shift the calculus from one tight end to the other.

Both see steady target volume for the tight end position. Brenton Strange had 46 catches for 540 yards; Dallas Goedert posted 60 for 591. At a position where most starters barely clear 7 PPG, this class of tight end is where the fantasy advantage lives week to week.

Brenton Strange has his bye in Week 8, and Dallas Goedert rests in Week 9. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at tight end for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

Both are in a similar trade value range. A straight swap would be fair in most leagues, with the tiebreaker going to whichever manager values schedule or bye week more. Dynasty outlook: Brenton Strange (age 25) has years of prime production ahead. Buy-and-hold dynasty asset. Dallas Goedert (age 31) is in the later years of production. Still a redraft asset, but dynasty value is declining.
