Fantasy Tiers

Brenton Strange: Tier 2 (Flex/Starter) TE (ranked #19 at the position). Drake London: Tier 2 (Strong Starter) WR (ranked #7 at the position). Comparing across positions, raw PPG is less useful than positional scarcity. A Tier 2 (Flex/Starter) TE is harder to replace on waivers than a Tier 2 (Strong Starter) WR in most league formats.

Brenton Strange vs Drake London: The Full Breakdown

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.

Brenton Strange has his bye in Week 7, Drake London in Week 11. Plan your FLEX rotation around those weeks, especially if either player is anchoring your roster.
