News: 2 days agoStrange caught three of five targets for 32 yards during the Jaguars' 35-6 win over the Patriots on Sunday.

Spin: Most of Strange's production came on a 23-yard catch midway through the second quarter, which put the Jaguars just outside the red zone and helped lead to a 10-yard touchdown pass from Trevor Lawrence to Jakobi Meyers five plays later. Strange finished Sunday's game tied for the second-most targets and catches and third in receiving yards behind Meyers (64) and Parker Washington (40). Strange is off to a somewhat slow start to the 2026 season, though he's competing against Meyers, Washington and Brian Thomas for targets in the passing game. Strange will take a 7-72-1 line (on 10 targets) into a Week 4 road clash against the Bengals.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Strange played well in his first season as Jacksonville's clear No. 1 tight end, but it simply didn't lead to much fantasy success. The 2023 second-round pick handled a solid 16% target share during the 12 games he was healthy, but that was only enough to lead to 9.8 fantasy PPG (18th among tight ends). Strange simply hasn't been utilized much near the goal line, as he's yet to clear three touchdowns or four end zone targets in a single season. The 25-year-old is a reliable target for QB Trevor Lawrence, but with the team so well-stocked at wide receiver, consistent fantasy production is a long shot. Consider Strange a low-ceiling TE2.
