PositiveProjectionOct 30, 2026
Strange has at least seven targets in three straight games and is scoring 13.2 fantasy PPG during that stretch. The source positions him as having fringe-TE1 value in 10-team leagues for Week 8 against the Colts, a team already trading away starting talent and in rebuild mode.PositiveUsageOct 16, 2026
Strange has seen a recent surge in production and volume for the Jaguars despite facing a Houston defense ranked in the top five versus tight ends in Week 6. He has at least 13 points in back-to-back games with seven receptions on eight targets in both. Strange will see the ball versus Houston's zone coverages as the outlet for Trevor Lawrence and will be deployed on seams and over routes, earning fringe TE1 status.PositiveUsageOct 15, 2026
Strange easily leads the Jaguars in targets over the past three weeks with 21, including exactly eight targets in each of his past two games resulting in receiving lines of 7-95-0 and 7-68-0. The boost in usage launches him into the streaming conversation, though caution is warranted given his slow start (7-72-1 on 10 targets in Weeks 1-3) and crowded offense; he averaged just 5.0 targets and 9.8 fantasy PPG last season. He faces a Houston defense that has allowed the sixth-fewest fantasy points and zero TDs to tight ends this season.PositiveMatchupOct 14, 2026
Strange faces the Texans, a limiting matchup despite his productive fantasy season ranking 13th among tight ends in fantasy points per game (10.1). He has the position's 10th-largest target share (19%) and fourth-best catch rate (81%), keeping him barely beneath the fantasy TE1 cutoff most weeks. However, the Texans have struggled much more against wide receivers (6.5 Adj. FPA) than tight ends (minus-3.2 Adj. FPA) and have afforded the position a single target in the red zone so far.PositiveProjectionOct 9, 2026
Strange scored a season-high 16.5 points in the Week 4 win over the Bengals, catching seven of eight targets for 95 yards. Strange now has 10 or more points in two of four games played, with 13 total targets over his last two games. Even with a tougher matchup versus the Eagles, Strange will see opportunities on middle-of-the-field throws from Trevor Lawrence.NegativeUsageOct 5, 2026
Strange, in his fourth season, hasn't earned consistent targets this season. He scored 16.5 points against the Cincinnati Bengals, thanks to seven receptions and 95 receiving yards against a team that often struggles to handle tight ends, but he had entered play with a total of seven catches and 72 receiving yards over three games.NegativeProjectionSep 14, 2026
Strange played better than many realize last season, totaling 540 receiving yards and averaging 11.7 yards per catch. He scored a touchdown in Sunday's win over Cleveland but caught only two passes.PositiveValueAug 31, 2026
Brenton Strange was selected as TE2 in Round 13, Pick 13.3, reflecting late-round allocation to the Jacksonville Jaguars tight end.PositiveProjectionAug 14, 2026
Strange was limited to 12 games because of injury, but he put quality stuff on tape last season, scoring 9.8 PPG with five games of 12 or more points. The source is intrigued by Strange. Available in the fifth tier.PositiveProjectionNo date
Strange's Jaguars did not play in Week 7, but the team's starting TE has averaged 13.2 fantasy points during his past three games, which should be enough to interest fantasy managers. The Jaguars face the sputtering Colts in Week 8.PositiveRoleNo date
Strange played better than many realize last season, totaling 540 receiving yards and averaging 11.7 yards per catch; he scored a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Browns but caught only two passes, suggesting limited volume despite efficiency.
