Jake Tonges vs Puka Nacua: Who Should You Start?
Comparing Jake Tonges (TE, San Francisco 49ers) against Puka Nacua (WR, Los Angeles Rams) means weighing two different roles in your fantasy lineup. Jake Tonges averaged 8.5 PPG in 2025 over 9 games, while Puka Nacua posted 19.4 PPG across 16 games.
Cross-position FLEX decisions cannot be made on PPG alone. Positional scarcity, matchup quality, floor versus ceiling, and league scoring format all shift the answer. A 14 PPG tight end in a thin TE week is often worth more than a 16 PPG receiver in a deep WR week, because the opportunity cost on the waiver wire is wildly different.
DraftCall's AI engine weighs all of these signals and returns a verdict with clear reasoning, so you are not cross-referencing four different rankings tabs on a Sunday morning.
Jake Tonges has his bye in Week 14, Puka Nacua in Week 8. Plan your FLEX rotation around those weeks, especially if either player is anchoring your roster.
