HIGHLIGHT | Brenton Strange Secures PA Slant Reception for 21 Yards Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange catches a play-action slant reception for 21 yards against the Tennessee Titans.
Totals 25 yards Strange caught two of three targets for 25 yards during Sunday's 12-7 loss to Minnesota.
Impact Strange finished second on the team in receiving yards, though that's not saying much on a day when fill-in quarterback Mac Jones threw for only 111 yards. The 2023 second-round pick has been occasionally involved in the passing game since the return of starter Evan Engram, but Strange shouldn't be on the fantasy radar while Engram is healthy.
NOVEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE
No targets in loss Strange played nine offensive snaps and wasn't targeted during Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Eagles.
Impact The 23-year-old secured a career-high five receptions Week 8 against the Packers, but he was out-snapped by No. 3 tight end Luke Farrell in Sunday's loss. Strange may be occasionally involved in the passing game when Evan Engram is healthy but doesn't have a consistent enough role for fantasy consideration.

Cashes in all five targets Sunday Strange corralled all five of his targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Packers.
Impact Strange finished with the most receptions for the Jaguars on Sunday, but it was fellow tight end Evan Engram who produced the better fantasy line (4-36-1). Strange has provided low-end fantasy value as a sophomore and should be treated as such heading into next Sunday's road tilt against the Eagles.
OCTOBER 27 • ROTOWIRE
No targets in win Strange did not draw any targets in Sunday's 32-16 win against the Patriots.
Impact The Jaguars were able to leverage a very run-heavy attack offensively in Week 7, so Strange's snap count (27) actually lagged behind that of blocking specialist Luke Farrell (30). As long as Evan Engram is available as a route-runner, Strange won't be anything more than a fantasy dart throw.

Impact The Jaguars were able to leverage a very run-heavy attack offensively in Week 7, so Strange's snap count (27) actually lagged behind that of blocking specialist Luke Farrell (30). As long as Evan Engram is healthy, Strange won't be anything more than a fantasy dart throw.
OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE
Two targets in Engram's return Strange caught one of two targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 35-16 loss to the Bears.
Impact Strange faded back into obscurity as Evan Engram led the Jaguars with 10 catches for 102 yards in Engram's return from a hamstring injury. Strange saw an end-zone target despite Engram's presence, but the 2023 second-round pick will be tough to rely on from a fantasy standpoint now that Strange is back in a No. 2 role.
OCTOBER 14 • ROTOWIRE
Likely heading to backup role Strange could see a reduction in playing time Sunday against the Bears with Evan Engram (hamstring) active for the first time since Week 1, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Impact After Engram injured his hamstring in pregame warmups prior to the Jaguars' Week 2 loss to the Browns, Strange has performed admirably as the team's No. 1 tight end over the past four contests, putting together a 12-120-2 receiving line on 18 targets. Though Engram will likely start Sunday's contest, the Jaguars could ease him back in with a lighter snap count than usual, given that he remained a limited participant in practice all week. Even so, the return of Engram is still expected to result in fewer snaps for Strange, whose limited fantasy appeal will likely fall by the wayside.
OCTOBER 13 • ROTOWIRE
Catches another touchdown Strange secured all four of his targets for 24 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 37-34 win against the Colts.
Impact The 2023 second-round pick played 49 of 58 offensive snaps as Evan Engram (hamstring) sat out a fourth straight game after being labeled questionable. Strange wasn't significantly involved in the passing game but still finished tied for third on the team in targets and receptions while tallying his second touchdown of the season. Engram appears to be closing in on his return to game action, at which point Strange should see reduced opportunities as Jacksonville's No. 2 tight end.

Brings in all three targets Strange secured all three of his targets for 19 yards during Sunday's' 24-20 loss to the Texans.
Impact Strange has drawn three straight starts at tight end with Evan Engram (hamstring) sidelined, once again splitting work with Luke Farrell (zero catches, one target vs. Houston). In that span, Strange has caught eight of 14 targets for 96 yards and one score, numbers that paint the picture of a fringe TE1 or TE2 for fantasy purposes. If Engram is able to get back on the field versus the Colts in Week 5, however, Strange will figure to return to a depth role.

SEPTEMBER 26 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM
Scores second career TD Strange secured two of five targets for 12 yards and a touchdown in the Jaguars' 47-10 loss to the Bills on Monday night.
Impact The second-year tight end capped off the opening possession of the second half with a six-yard touchdown grab, his second career score. Strange was coming off a career-best 3-65 line on six targets against the Browns in Week 2, and he and Luke Farrell once again helped make up for the absence of Evan Engram (hamstring) on Monday night. However, if Engram is able to suit up for Sunday's Week 4 road clash against the Texans, both reserve tight ends figure to return to fantasy irrelevance except in very deep formats.

SEPTEMBER 20 • JAGUARS.COM
Career-best showing in loss Strange caught three of six targets for 65 yards during Sunday's 18-13 loss to the Browns.
Impact Starting tight end Evan Engram (hamstring) was a late scratch for Sunday's contest, and Strange took advantage of the opportunity as he more than doubled his career total for receiving yards. The 2023 second-round pick played 41 of 60 offensive snaps and finished second on the team targets. Engram's availability for Week 3 remains up in the air, so there's a chance Strange works as Jacksonville's No. 1 tight end for a second straight week. The latter appears to have the edge for playing time over Luke Farrell, who caught both his targets for 13 yards while playing 28 offensive snaps Sunday.
SEPTEMBER 16 • ROTOWIRE
No targets Week 1 Strange wasn't targeted during Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Dolphins.
Impact The 2023 second-round pick out-snapped Luke Farrell 19 to 14 on offense, but starter Evan Engram was the only Jacksonville tight end to be involved in the passing game. Strange caught five passes for 35 yards and a touchdown in 14 games as a rookie last year, and he's again opened 2024 in a minor role.
SEPTEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE
Uneventful rookie campaign Strange wasn't targeted against the Titans in Week 18 and finished the season with five catches for 35 yards and a touchdown in 14 games.
Impact The rookie second-round pick's first year in the NFL wasn't a particularly notable one, as he worked as Jacksonville's No. 3 tight end all season. Both Evan Engram and Luke Farrell remain under contract in 2024, so Strange may need a strong offseason and training camp in order to move up the depth chart.
JANUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE
Limited to begin Week 15 prep Strange (foot) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday.
Impact Strange has missed the Jaguars' past two games due to a foot injury, and he didn't practice at all last week. His ability to get in a limited session on the first day of Week 15 prep suggests that he's making progress, but the tight end's chance of returning to action against Baltimore on Sunday could hinge on how much he's able to practice the rest of the week. When healthy, Strange has had a fairly significant role as a blocker, but he's totaled just four catches on seven targets for 34 yards and one touchdown over 11 games.
DECEMBER 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Unlikely to face Browns Coach Doug Pederson said Friday that Strange (foot) is not expected to suit up for Sunday's game against the Browns, John Shipley of SI.com reports.
Impact Strange couldn't play Monday versus the Bengals and he will now likely have to miss a second straight contest. If Strange can't play Sunday, his next chance to take the field will come Week 15 versus Baltimore.
DECEMBER 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Catches first touchdown Strange caught two of three targets for 27 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 37-20 win over Indianapolis.
Impact The rookie second-round pick had just two catches for seven yards across the first five games of the season, but he played a season-high 55 percent of Jacksonville's offensive snaps Sunday. He saw similar playing time as fellow reserve tight end Luke Farrell, while Evan Engram remains the clear starter. Strange could work as Jacksonville's No. 2 tight end going forward, but he's unlikely to see much action in the passing game if Engram stays healthy.
