A.J. Brown vs Brenton Strange: Who Should You Start?

Comparing A.J. Brown (WR, Philadelphia Eagles) against Brenton Strange (TE, Jacksonville Jaguars) means weighing two different roles in your fantasy lineup. A.J. Brown averaged 12.1 PPG in 2025 over 15 games, while Brenton Strange posted 7.9 PPG across 12 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.

A.J. Brown has his bye in Week 5, Brenton Strange in Week 12. Plan your FLEX rotation around those weeks, especially if either player is anchoring your roster.

The Bottom Line

The 2025 numbers favor A.J. Brown at 12.1 PPG, 4.2 points per game above Brenton Strange's 7.9. But season stats only tell part of the story. DraftCall's AI factors in weekly matchup, recent form, and injury status to give you a verdict that updates with the latest data.
