Headliner Take

Brenton Strange enters 2025 as one of the top sleeper tight ends in fantasy football. With elite YPRR and target quality metrics, plus a locked-in starting role and a cupcake opening schedule, Strange has league-winning upside for virtually no draft capital.

He’s a stash-worthy TE2 with the potential to climb into the weekly TE1 conversation early in the season. If you punt tight end in drafts, Strange is a free lottery ticket worth holding.
