Brenton Strange is a viable waiver wire tight end option because he plays in a high-scoring offense where touchdown upside can elevate his weekly fantasy finish from TE22 to TE12. He is effectively the de facto third option in the Jaguars' heavy personnel sets.

Strange played 72% of snaps before the fourth quarter and scored a TD on one of his three targets across 60% route share. The source says his role should be similar to last year, and he's the kind of guy who is probably good enough to enjoy production spikes if injuries were to thin out the WR room more.

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. Strange had 43 catches for 540 yards and three touchdowns last season and remains the team's top pass-catching tight end despite the Jaguars taking a pair of tight ends in this year's draft.

Strange had a breakout 2025 season as TE17 in fantasy points per game with career highs in targets (12 games), receiving yards, yards per reception, and fantasy points per game. Among 54 qualifying tight ends, he 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.

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.

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.
