Strange is quietly the TE12 in fantasy points per game with a 17.9% target share, 2.02 YPRR, three red zone targets, one deep target, and a 19.5% first-read share. The source notes the Jags could feed him more high-cholesterol usage downfield near the goal line, but despite those factors lacking, Strange could easily be a TE1 again this week. Indy has the 12th-highest single-high rate (52.1%); against single-high, Strange is second on the team with a 30% TPRR while posting 2.82 YPRR. Over the last five games, Indy has faced the second-fewest tight end targets but has given up the sixth-most receiving touchdowns (tied) and the eighth-most fantasy points per opportunity to the position.NegativeProjectionOct 30, 2026

Brenton Strange has been playing a larger role with WR Brian Thomas Jr. having effectively vanished from the Jacksonville offense. Over his last three games, Strange has 19 receptions on 23 targets for 207 yards and zero touchdowns, ranking as TE7 in PPR scoring from Week 4 to Week 6 without scoring a touchdown. Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence certainly doesn't mind throwing to tight ends; in 2023, Evan Engram had a 114-catch, 963-yard season while playing with Lawrence in Jacksonville. Strange has thrived against single-high safety coverage shells this season, averaging 0.30 targets per route run and 2.82 yards per route run vs. single-high coverage. In Week 8, he faces a Colts defense that, entering Week 7, had played single-high safety at the 11th-highest rate in the league.PositiveValueOct 30, 2026

Strange has emerged as a primary target for the Jaguars over his last three games, posting 19-207-0 on 23 targets. He ranked TE7 in PPR scoring from Week 4 to Week 6 without scoring a touchdown. With WR Brian Thomas Jr. effectively vanishing from the Jacksonville offense, Strange has played a larger role. QB Trevor Lawrence has a history of targeting tight ends (Evan Engram had 114 catches and 963 yards in 2023 with Lawrence). Strange has thrived against single-high safety coverage, averaging 0.30 targets per route run and 2.82 yards per route run in that shell.

Among 47 qualifying tight ends, Strange ranks eighth in target share (18.2%), sixth in YPRR (2.12), tenth in FD/RR (0.099), and sixth in first-read share (20.8%). He has three red zone targets and one deep target. Derek Brown notes Strange has been amazing on a per-route basis and has emerged as the consistent number two target for Trevor Lawrence. Strange could be a TE1 again this week against Houston, which has allowed the 12th-most yards per target to tight ends while facing the sixth-fewest targets to the position.NegativeProjectionOct 16, 2026

Strange has quietly emerged as a significant part of Jacksonville's passing attack, collecting seven receptions in consecutive games while earning eight targets in each contest. His 18.8% target share and 75.9% route participation suggest this production is supported by opportunity rather than touchdown dependency. Houston presents a difficult matchup for tight ends, but consistent targets provide Strange with a path to outperform expectations, making him a confident start in tight end premium formats where his receiving volume becomes particularly valuable.PositiveProjectionOct 15, 2026
Strange is TE14 in fantasy points per game with at least 10.3 PPR points in three of five games.

Strange caught 7 of 8 targets for 68 yards (20.0% adjusted share, down from 34.6%) on an 81% snap share (58 snaps, down from 87% in Week 4), with five catches in the first half and two catches at the PHI 1 without scoring. The source rates him as an add, noting the role is intact and two catches at the goal line point toward touchdown regression in his favor. Per NGS, Strange leads the Jaguars with 21 targets, 17 receptions, and 195 yards over the last 3 games despite ranking third on the team in routes (75) and hasn't scored since the season opener.PositiveValueOct 13, 2026

Strange doesn't have a particularly friendly Week 6 matchup against the Texans, who are giving only 4.4 catches and 45.8 receiving yards per game to tight ends and have not given up a touchdown to a TE this season. However, Strange has been prominently involved in the Jaguars' passing game lately, with 14-163-0 on 16 targets over his last two games. He has some low-level streamer appeal this week, though it may be hard to carry him beyond Week 6 as the Jaguars go on bye in Week 7.PositiveUsageOct 11, 2026
Strange earned eight targets for the second week in a row, accumulating 14 receptions and 163 yards over his last two games. The source views him as a staple in the Jaguars' successful-enough offense and would happily start him in any league needing a tight end.NegativeProjectionOct 11, 2026
Strange ranks nineteenth among tight ends for Week 5 with low expert variance; best rank 15, worst rank 22, average rank 19, standard deviation 2, indicating strong consensus on his mid-tier tight end projection.PositiveProjectionOct 10, 2026
Strange is the TE21 in fantasy points per game after finishing as the TE5 in weekly scoring last week, with a 17.3% target share, 2.04 YPRR, two red zone targets, zero deep targets, and a 19% first-read share. Against Jacksonville's defense, which has allowed the 12th-fewest yards per target and the sixth-fewest fantasy points per opportunity to tight ends, a quieter week is expected.NegativeMatchupOct 9, 2026
It will be tempting to start Brenton Strange after he posted 7-95-0 on eight targets against the Bengals in Week 4, but he faces a tougher matchup this week against the Eagles. The Eagles have given up just 16-156-0 to tight ends over the first four weeks. Cincinnati has been consistently hammered by tight ends dating back to last season, when the Bengals allowed more catches, receiving yards, and touchdowns to tight ends than any other defense. Strange is ranked as a midrange TE2.PositiveSleeperOct 8, 2026
Strange is quietly turning into Trevor Lawrence's favorite weapon. A matchup against an Eagles secondary that has been inconsistent could lead to T-Law checking down to his wide-open target often. While Strange might not put up super sexy numbers that win your league, he will get an easy double-digit in 1-point PPR leagues.PositiveProjectionOct 8, 2026
Strange is the TE21 in fantasy points per game after finishing as the TE5 in weekly scoring last week. He has a 17.3% target share with 2.04 YPRR, two red zone targets, zero deep targets, and a 19% first-read share.

Strange caught 7 of 8 official targets (9 true) for 95 yards with 34.8% official/34.6% adjusted target share (team lead), 87% snap share, and 78% route participation; compared to Week 3 (5 targets/3 catches/32 yards, 16.7%), more than double the share and nearly triple the yards; source notes he has a really great role conducive to fantasy production and through four games ranks 9th in route participation among TEs; takeaway: Attack the Bengals defense with TEs.PositiveValueOct 6, 2026
Brenton Strange (JAC) trade value is 5.9 with a notable +4.9 week-over-week increase and a TEP value of 7.1 with a +5.9 increase; bye week is Week 7 with upcoming matchups against PHI, HOU, and a bye.PositiveUsageOct 6, 2026
Strange delivered one of the best games of his career in Week 4 against Cincinnati, catching 7 of 8 targets for 95 yards and leading the Jaguars in both receptions and yards in a 22-17 win. He played 53 snaps and has established himself as a legitimate part of Trevor Lawrence's passing attack. Eight targets are difficult to ignore at tight end, and he has shown he can be productive when given those opportunities. While Philadelphia's defense has allowed only 156 receiving yards and no touchdowns to tight ends through four games (a less appealing matchup than Cincinnati), Strange has done enough to remain one of the better widely available streaming options heading into Week 5.NegativeUsageOct 5, 2026
Brenton Strange had an outstanding Week 4 performance against Cincinnati with 7-95-0 on eight targets, repeatedly gaining chunk yards over the middle against a Bengals defense that has struggled defending the middle of the field and has been bad against tight ends. Strange had 46-540-3 last season in only 12 games and plays with top QB Trevor Lawrence, who seems most comfortable throwing over the middle. Lawrence fueled a 114-catch, 963-yard season for TE Evan Engram in 2023. However, the Eagles (Week 5 opponent) have given up only 16-156-0 to tight ends over the first four weeks, so avoid chasing last week's soft matchup.PositiveProjectionOct 5, 2026
Strange had 7-95-0 on eight targets against Cincy in Week 4 and repeatedly had chunk gains over the middle against a Bengals pass defense that has had difficulty defending the middle of the field and has been bad against tight ends going back to last season, when Cincinnati yielded more fantasy points to TEs than any other defense. Strange is a solid tight end with 46-540-3 last season in only 12 games. He plays with a top quarterback in Trevor Lawrence, and Lawrence seems most comfortable throwing over the middle; Lawrence fueled a 114-catch, 963-yard season for TE Evan Engram in 2023. However, just be careful about chasing last week—the Eagles, whom the Jaguars face this week, are not a soft matchup, having given up 16-156-0 to tight ends over the first four weeks.NegativeRoleOct 5, 2026

Brenton Strange is listed as a core play for the Week 4 DFS slate in the CIN vs. JAC matchup, indicating the source recommends him as a primary target for cash games and tournaments.PositiveValueOct 2, 2026
Brenton Strange is the source's preferred tight end because he's a punt play who provides salary relief in DFS cash games. With the source paying up for players like Ja'Marr Chase, saving money on Strange makes sense. The source recommends building a Jaguars stack with Trevor Lawrence, Parker Washington, and Brenton Strange, then bringing it back with Ja'Marr Chase.PositiveSleeperOct 1, 2026
Brenton Strange provides plenty of upside in Week 4 and feels too low at TE17 with a flex ranking outside the top 100. He saw a season-high five targets last week, and the source expects his volume to increase in what could be a higher-scoring game. Trevor Lawrence has yet to eclipse 250 passing yards this season, but to keep pace with the high-powered Bengals offense, Jacksonville may need to throw more than usual. Tight ends have found success against the Bengals defense, allowing 90+ receiving yards to the position in back-to-back weeks. With the potential for increased passing volume and a favorable matchup, Strange has a legitimate chance to outperform his current ranking.PositiveValueOct 1, 2026
Strange is TE24 in fantasy points per game with a 71.3% route share, 12.3% target share, 1.16 YPRR, two red zone targets, zero deep targets, and 12.1% first-read share. Cincinnati hasn't allowed a receiving score to a tight end yet this season but has given up the fourth-most yards per target to the position. The source calls him a viable streaming option at tight end or desperation flex in deeper leagues, with potential to be a TE1 this week.NegativeProjectionOct 1, 2026
Ranked 17th in tight end rankings with best rank of 16 and average rank of 19.0; two standard deviations indicate some expert disagreement around the top-20 tier.PositiveValueOct 1, 2026
Strange is a cheap add-on to the Bengals-Jaguars stack. Though not a highly targeted part of the offense due to high-caliber receiving alternatives, Strange has a 71.3% route participation rate, two red-zone targets, one end-zone target, and one receiving touchdown this year. He can boost production this week by facing the Bengals, who have coughed up the fifth-most DraftKings points per game (17.7) and the eighth-most FanDuel points per game (13.8) to tight ends this year.PositiveUsageSep 29, 2026
Real riser in adjusted target share (9.4% → 16.7%) and true targets (3 → 5), his most-targeted game with 3 catches for 32 yards. Next four matchups include Week 5 vs PHI and Week 6 vs HOU, both neutral-site games.NegativeValueSep 29, 2026

Strange gets the best possible matchup against Cincinnati in Week 4. The Bengals allowed the most receptions, receiving yards, and touchdowns to tight ends last season and surrendered 97 yards to Pittsburgh's tight ends in Week 3, one week after allowing Dalton Schultz to record 140 yards. This is exactly the type of matchup fantasy managers should target when streaming tight ends.PositiveUsageSep 29, 2026
Strange caught three of his five targets for 32 yards against New England in Week 3, with the five targets marking a season high. His season totals stand at seven receptions for 72 yards and a touchdown through three weeks, showing increased involvement in Jacksonville's passing game.PositiveMatchupSep 28, 2026
A Week 4 matchup against the Bengals makes Brenton Strange a viable one-week streaming option. The Bengals gave up the most catches, receiving yards, and touchdowns to tight ends last season. As coordinated by Al Golden, Cincinnati's defense often seems willing to concede receptions to tight ends in order to minimize explosive plays from wide receivers. Strange has 7-72-1 on 10 targets and hasn't been a featured performer in Liam Coen's offense, but the fourth-year tight end has a brighter-than-usual outlook this week.NegativeProjectionSep 25, 2026

Last year against this same defense, he was TE9 with 19.4% target share, 39 receiving yards, three red zone targets, a touchdown, and 19% first-read share. However, Denver allowed fourth-fewest fantasy points per opportunity to tight ends last year (ranking 19th in yards per target), making this a difficult matchup despite historical precedent.PositiveMatchupSep 17, 2026
Strange faces a tough matchup against Denver's tight end defense, which allowed the fourth-fewest fantasy points per opportunity to tight ends while ranking 19th in yards per target to the position last year.

Strange opened the season with 2-23-1 on three targets in the Jaguars' 34-10 blowout of the Browns, though Trevor Lawrence threw only 23 passes in the game.
