Fantasy Tiers

Jake Tonges: Tier 2 (Flex/Starter) TE (ranked #15 at the position). Rhamondre Stevenson: Tier 5 (Flex/Starter) RB (ranked #22 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 5 (Flex/Starter) RB in most league formats.

Jake Tonges vs Rhamondre Stevenson: The Full Breakdown

Comparing Jake Tonges (TE, San Francisco 49ers) against Rhamondre Stevenson (RB, New England Patriots) means weighing two different roles in your fantasy lineup. Jake Tonges averaged 8.5 PPG in 2025 over 9 games, while Rhamondre Stevenson posted 11.6 PPG across 14 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.

Jake Tonges has his bye in Week 8, Rhamondre Stevenson in Week 11. Plan your FLEX rotation around those weeks, especially if either player is anchoring your roster.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

If you can acquire Rhamondre Stevenson at a discount because your league-mates undervalue running back production, do it. Jake Tonges is a reasonable sell-high candidate if his recent games have spiked above his season average. Dynasty outlook: Jake Tonges (age 27) is in the middle of his productive window. Stable dynasty value. Rhamondre Stevenson (age 28, 4 years) is past the typical RB peak. Redraft value exceeds dynasty value.
