Strange positioned for increased receiving role with reduced blocking burden in new scheme.

Strange is positioned to receive a larger receiving workload in 2026 as the Jaguars shift to multi-tight-end packages (12 and 13 personnel). Head coach Liam Coen's strategy is to reduce Strange's blocking burden—particularly against elite edge rushers like Travon Walker and Josh Hines-Allen—by deploying complementary tight end Nate Boerkircher as a blocker. This allows Strange to split out or match up against linebackers and safeties instead, creating an offensive advantage. Coen noted Strange's production correlation with team success: "when you look at when he has production what our record looks like, it's kind of interesting to see."
