Fantasy Tiers

Theo Johnson: Tier 3 (Flex/Starter) TE (ranked #24 at the position). TreVeyon Henderson: Tier 3 (Flex/Starter) RB (ranked #24 at the position). Comparing across positions, raw PPG is less useful than positional scarcity. A Tier 3 (Flex/Starter) TE is harder to replace on waivers than a Tier 3 (Flex/Starter) RB in most league formats.

Theo Johnson vs TreVeyon Henderson: The Full Breakdown

Comparing Theo Johnson (TE, New York Giants) against TreVeyon Henderson (RB, New England Patriots) means weighing two different roles in your fantasy lineup. Theo Johnson averaged 7.0 PPG in 2025 over 15 games, while TreVeyon Henderson posted 11.1 PPG across 17 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.

Theo Johnson has his bye in Week 8, TreVeyon Henderson in Week 11. Plan your FLEX rotation around those weeks, especially if either player is anchoring your roster.
