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.

Cleared to play Week 8 vs. Colts despite minor eye injury; will play in full capacity. Upside scenario if Jakobi Meyers ruled out (hamstring/ankle), which would increase Strange's workload. Comments show mixed interest: some view him as viable TE streamer (over LaPorta, Loveland, Chigbueze), others prefer alternatives like Hockenson or Likely. Pun-heavy thread limits serious analysis, but Strange appears healthy and positioned for potential role increase.

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).

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.

NegativeRoleOct 29, 2026RotoWire NFL Articles
Strange doesn't typically see many targets when Jacksonville's offense performs well; offensive coordinator Liam Coen prioritizes wide receivers and running backs, and as a 10-point favorite against Indianapolis, Jacksonville should be able to execute that game plan. Strange's value is entirely dependent on touchdown scoring, with his PPR production unlikely to materialize. The Week 9 matchup at Baltimore offers a far more promising opportunity for PPR production.

Indianapolis ranks 13th in half PPR points allowed to TEs at 11.3 points per game; the Colts have shown vulnerability to the position recently, giving up 19.0 half PPR points to Pat Freiermuth in Week 5 and 11.5 points to T.J. Hockenson in Week 7. Their LB room has been terrible, and they just traded away their best player in DeForest Buckner. Jacksonville hosts this divisional clash as 7.5-point home favorites with a healthy implied team total of 28.0 points (4th).

Strange is quietly the TE12 in fantasy points per game with a strong season: 17.9% target share, 2.02 YPRR, three red zone targets, one deep target, and 19.5% first-read share. Against Indianapolis's 52.1% single-high rate, Strange ranks second on the team with 30% TPRR and 2.82 YPRR. Over the last five games, Indianapolis has faced the second-fewest tight end targets but given up the sixth-most receiving touchdowns (tied) and eighth-most fantasy points per opportunity to the position. Despite lacking high-cholesterol usage downfield near the goal line, Strange could easily be a TE1 again this week.

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. In Week 8, he faces the Colts, who entered Week 7 having played single-high safety at the 11th-highest rate in the league.

Jaguars tight end disrespected by fantasy managers despite consistent volume; high-end TE2 streamer with low-end TE1 potential, averaging sixth-most targets among tight ends over 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 week with George Kittle and Isaiah Likely on bye.
