Had breakout season as TE17 in fantasy points per game, setting career highs in targets (only in 12 games), receiving yards, yards per reception, and fantasy points per game. Among 54 qualifying tight ends, ranked 21st in target share, 14th in receiving yards per game, ninth in yards per route run, 23rd in first-read share, and 11th in first downs per route run. Per-route metrics display talent to surpass last year's numbers if he ever gets featured role in Jags' passing attack, but as depth chart currently stands, likely fourth or fifth option in target hierarchy. Nice stash or pickup in season if injuries strike depth chart because he could see numbers boom; intriguing TE2 with upside.NegativeValueAug 27, 2026
In shallow leagues, settling for Brenton Strange as a tight end alternative to elite tier-1 options like Bowers, McBride, Loveland, or Warren will result in a significant production disadvantage; the source warns this is 'going to be in for a rude awakening.'PositiveBreakoutAug 26, 2026
Strange finished as the fourth option in Jacksonville's passing game with 60 targets, converting them into 46 receptions for 540 yards and three touchdowns. The source projects a fourth-year leap given his athleticism to stretch the seam and create yards after the catch; if his target share climbs even slightly, he has the potential to deliver consistent TE1 production and become one of the most valuable mid-round picks at the position.PositiveValueAug 25, 2026

Brenton Strange is presented as a second-tier tight end option that should not be relied upon in shallow leagues. The source warns that if you don't secure one of the elite tight ends (Bowers, McBride, Loveland, Warren), attempting to manage with Strange or Jake Ferguson instead will result in 'a rude awakening' in shallow formats where every manager fields an All-Star team capable of point explosions.PositiveBreakoutAug 19, 2026

Wolf Trelles-Heard is not eager to draft Brenton Strange despite his ascending trajectory and three-year, $48-million extension with Jacksonville. While Strange improved from Year 2 to Year 3 (upping targets, receptions, yards, and TDs) and averaged 9.8 fantasy points per game in 2025 (TE17 finish), Trelles-Heard sees too many mouths to feed in Jacksonville's passing attack to allow Strange to fully flourish. The Jaguars tied for fourth in rushing touchdowns last year (22) and brought in Chris Rodriguez Jr., a thumper for goal-line work, suggesting a run-first approach near the end zone. Additionally, the team has multiple pass-catchers competing for targets: Brian Thomas Jr. (expected bounce-back), Parker Washington (league-winner potential), Jakobi Meyers (high-floor PPR option), and Travis Hunter (No. 2 overall pick seeing WR time). At TE19 ADP, Strange doesn't cost much but lacks the target volume upside needed to justify a draft pick.NegativeValueAug 15, 2026

One the source is comfortable dropping as low as the back half of his TE1 tier and then quickly circling back for a TE2 shortly after in tight end premium formats, landing around Brenton Strange at TE17 as his personal TE2 cutoff; his argument is that tight ends are closer to roughly 1.2 times more valuable in premium formats rather than the full 1.5 times many managers assume, and the market often overcorrects as a result.PositiveSleeperJul 22, 2026
