Brenton Strange vs Mark Andrews: Who Should You Start?

If you are choosing between Brenton Strange and Mark Andrews for your lineup, you are not alone. Brenton Strange finished the 2025 season at 7.9 PPG for the Jacksonville Jaguars (12 games), and Mark Andrews averaged 6.3 for the Baltimore Ravens (17 games).

That 1.6-point weekly advantage for Brenton Strange is meaningful but not automatic. Fantasy football is a week-to-week sport, and the answer to "who should I start" often changes based on opponent, recent form, and game environment. Season averages set the baseline; weekly context makes the call.

Both see steady target volume for the tight end position. Brenton Strange had 46 catches for 540 yards; Mark Andrews posted 48 for 422. 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 12, and Mark Andrews rests in Week 14. 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.
