PositiveValueOct 30, 2026
Strange has commanded at least seven targets in three straight outings and sits as TE12 on TE9 usage across his last four games, averaging 8.7 half PPR points and 8.7 expected points per contest with a 22% target share. Hayden Winks ranks him as a low-end TE1 rather than TE2 despite Yahoo consensus placing him lower. Indianapolis ranks 13th in half PPR points allowed to TEs at 11.3 points per game and has shown recent vulnerability, allowing 19.0 points to Pat Freiermuth in Week 5 and 11.5 to T.J. Hockenson in Week 7; their LB room has been terrible after trading DeForest Buckner. Jacksonville hosts as 7.5-point home favorites with a 28.0-point implied team total (fourth).PositiveRoleOct 26, 2026
From Weeks 4 through 6, Strange garnered 23 targets, which ranked fourth at the position behind Isaiah Likely, Trey McBride, and Brock Bowers. The 25-year-old averaged 10.1 half-PPR points during that stretch. While not a sexy play, he is a decent bet to not kill lineups in PPR formats.PositiveProjectionOct 26, 2026
High-end TE2 streamer with low-end TE1 potential; continues to be disrespected by fantasy managers. Averaging sixth-most targets among tight ends over the last month with at least seven targets in each outing during that span. Posted three usable stat lines of 7-95-0, 7-68-0 and 5-44-0, including two top-12 weekly fantasy finishes. Earning volume that could make production more sustainable; needs to be rostered especially in a week with George Kittle and Isaiah Likely on bye.NegativeValueOct 21, 2026
Ranked 16th among tight ends in rest-of-season trade value with a chart value of 101 in half-PPR scoring, tied with Harold Fannin Jr. in trade asset value.NegativeValueOct 14, 2026
Ranked 14th among tight ends in rest-of-season trade value with a HALFPPR value of 8, placing him in the lower tier of fantasy tight ends.PositiveRoleOct 14, 2026
Brenton Strange has emerged as Jacksonville's primary pass-catcher in the middle of the field over the last three weeks, leading the Jaguars with 26.3% of targets in that area. His profile since Week 3 is encouraging: 77.5% route rate (11th among qualifying TEs), 26.6% targets per route run (5th), and 2.47 yards per route run (2nd). His on-field deployment shows just a 10.2% pass-blocking snap rate, and his efficiency and target-earning ability check four of five key TE metrics. Against Houston (Week 7), the Texans have faced only two TEs with consistent roles and gave up 185 yards on 16 targets to Dalton Kincaid and Tyler Warren, suggesting Strange should be a productive asset.PositiveValueOct 14, 2026
Brenton Strange is highlighted as one of the top five waiver wire pickups for Week 6, indicating availability and potential immediate fantasy impact for teams seeking tight end depth.PositiveRoleOct 12, 2026
Brenton Strange is a featured part of the Jaguars' offense and just put up consecutive games with seven catches on eight targets. He should be rostered everywhere.PositiveRoleOct 12, 2026
Strange has now led the Jaguars in targets over the last two weeks, racking up an impressive 25.8% target share during that stretch. The 25-year-old has turned that usage into 13 and 10.3 half-PPR points, respectively, making him a solid streaming option at a tough position.PositiveProjectionOct 12, 2026
Making a case to be in the low-end TE1 conversation following a pair of quality outings with at least eight targets both times; recorded back-to-back top-12 fantasy finishes with stat lines of 7-95-0 and 7-68-0; earning the kind of volume that could make his production more sustainable; given his role in one of the best offenses in the league, Strange needs to be rostered.PositiveRoleOct 12, 2026
Strange is listed as a top-10 overall pickup for Week 6 at the tight end position for the Jaguars.PositiveRoleOct 12, 2026
Strange continues to separate himself from the rest of Jacksonville's pass-catching corps alongside Parker Washington. With Lawrence's increased time to throw and the Eagles' pressure scheme creating quick-release opportunities, Strange has emerged as a primary target for the Jaguars. Facing Houston next week (44.4% of pressures in less than 2.5 seconds) should keep him in the limelight.PositiveProjectionOct 11, 2026
Strange caught 7 passes for 68 yards with no touchdown in Jacksonville's win over Philadelphia; he has popped the last couple of weeks.NegativeProjectionOct 7, 2026
Strange is priced at $9 in the Shuffle Up rest-of-season rankings, placing him in the 'Talk Them Up, Talk Them Down' tier, indicating moderate uncertainty about his production trajectory.PositiveProjectionOct 7, 2026
Strange posted TE5 in Week 4, benefitting from a trend against Cincinnati's defense. His emergence reflects the value of monitoring usage trends and defensive matchups rather than relying solely on draft cost.NegativeValueOct 7, 2026

Brenton Strange versus Philadelphia is listed as a risky streaming option at 27% rostered for Week 5.PositiveUsageOct 5, 2026
Strange earned a 35 percent target share—the highest mark of his career—and brought down seven passes for 95 yards in Week 4 against the Bengals; however, the source suspects he will be stuck in the TE2 ranks in Week 5 against the Eagles due to Philadelphia's sputtering offense likely leading to more Chris Rodriguez and Bhayshul Tuten usage.NegativeProjectionOct 5, 2026
Strange hadn't been awfully involved in the Jacksonville offense through three weeks. A matchup with the Bengals changed that. Strange earned a 35 percent target share—the highest mark of his career—and brought down seven passes for 95 yards. Unfortunately for Strange and the entire Jags offense, they face a sputtering Eagles team next week. If Philly can't get points on the board, the Jags will likely see a lot of Chris Rodriguez and Bhayshul Tuten next Sunday. Strange is expected to be stuck in the TE2 ranks for that game.PositiveSleeperOct 1, 2026
Brenton Strange is ranked outside the Top-14 TEs this week and is being considered as a sleeper option if stuck. Cincinnati has allowed the second most yards and third most catches to opposing TEs.NegativeValueSep 30, 2026

Ranked 140th in Week 3 fantasy Flex rankings as a streaming option at tight end.NegativeRoleSep 24, 2026
Strange lacks sufficient confidence for lineups in leagues up to 16 teams. While he connected with Trevor Lawrence on 2 of 3 targets for 23 yards and a touchdown in Week 1, he has generated minimal volume since. New England has allowed just 52 yards and zero scores to opposing tight ends through two weeks. Lawrence has multiple mouths to feed with wide receivers Parker Washington, Jakobi Meyers, and Brian Thomas Jr., pushing Strange further down the pecking order. He had just 2 targets for 17 yards in Week 2 and is too touchdown-dependent for reliable fantasy production.NegativeProjectionSep 17, 2026
Strange projects for 32.5 yards in Week 2 against Denver, ranking fifteenth among tight ends in the source's projections.NegativeMatchupSep 17, 2026
Strange should be sat in Week 2 against Denver despite connecting with Trevor Lawrence on two of three targets for 23 yards and a TD in Week 1. Lawrence has plenty of mouths to feed with wide receivers Parker Washington, Jakobi Meyers, and Brian Thomas Jr., pushing Strange further down the pecking order. Denver allowed Travis Kelce a 59-yard catch but would have held him to two catches and 12 yards without that mistake, and the Broncos defense will likely come into their home opener looking to right the ship after a poor Week 1 performance.NegativeValueSep 16, 2026
Ranked 21st among tight ends in Justin Boone's rest-of-season trade value chart with a HALFPPR value of 4; minimal trade value.PositiveSleeperSep 11, 2026
The Jaguars have a solid 24 point implied team total this week and are hoping for plenty of passing touchdowns. The Jags paid Strange in the offseason for good reason: he was effective last year with a 15.4% red zone target share (tied for third-highest on the team) and a 12.5% receiving touchdown market share. Trevor Lawrence looks to Strange in the red zone.NegativeProjectionSep 9, 2026
Strange has improved his numbers season-to-season over his first three years in the NFL. Last year he averaged 3.8 catches and 45 receiving yards per game while showing good chemistry with Trevor Lawrence. The main concern is his touchdown ceiling—just six across his first three seasons—but as long as second-round rookie Nate Boerkircher doesn't eat into his targets significantly, Strange has as good a floor as any streaming option.PositiveProjectionSep 8, 2026
Brenton Strange is ranked as the No. 14 tight end for Week 1 fantasy football.PositiveSleeperSep 8, 2026

Scott Pianowski mentions Brenton Strange as a nice consolation prize if you get sniped on Juwan Johnson, suggesting he's available about a round later and worth targeting as a sleeper option.PositiveBreakoutSep 3, 2026
Strange has breakout potential in Jacksonville's offense under Liam Coen, who previously supported Evan Engram as an elite fantasy tight end. However, competing weapons (Brian Thomas Jr., Parker Washington, Jakobi Meyers) will compete for targets, creating uncertainty around his ceiling.PositiveBreakoutSep 3, 2026
Jacksonville's offense excelled with Liam Coen. Trevor Lawrence previously supported Evan Engram as an elite fantasy tight end, which gives hope that there is breakout potential for Strange. However, other weapons in the Jaguars offense (Brian Thomas Jr., Parker Washington, Jakobi Meyers) will compete with him for targets.PositiveSleeperSep 1, 2026
Strange is mentioned by JJ Zachariason as an alternative sleeper tight end pick, preferred over Terrance Ferguson as a late-round target.NegativeRoleAug 28, 2026
Confirmed out for Jacksonville Jaguars preseason Week 3; will be rested ahead of Week 1.PositiveBreakoutAug 21, 2026
Strange's talent and situation align for a breakout: since joining Jacksonville in 2023, his routes and target share have trended upward; after returning from a Week 5 hip injury, he supplanted Brian Thomas Jr. as the WR3 (16.6% share) and led the team in red-zone targets (14); his yards per route run ranked ninth among all TEs in 2025 (minimum 10 games) and YAC per reception improved between Years 2 and 3. Despite a crowded receiving corps (Jakobi Meyers, Thomas Jr., Travis Hunter), Strange's productivity and utility within the offense should keep his draft cost down while offering upside.NegativeProjectionAug 12, 2026

Ranked Tier IV (#17 overall) in Sleepers, Part I; a 'starter' on his NFL team who could see decent volume and plenty of red zone opportunities; at least one player from this tier will end up as a Top-10 TE.
