Four grabs in OT loss Strange caught all four of his targets for 60 yards in Sunday's 26-23 overtime loss to the Colts.

Impact It was a nice bounce-back effort from the second-year tight end, who failed to catch his only target in Week 17 against the Titans. Strange started the final four games of the season for the Jaguars with Evan Engram (shoulder) sidelined, catching 17 of 21 targets for 155 yards over that stretch. Engram is expected to be fully healthy to begin Jacksonville's offseason program and has one more year remaining on his current contract, which will likely relegate Strange to a backup role again to begin 2025.

Cleared for Sunday Strange (shoulder) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Titans after practicing fully Friday, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Strange was deemed limited on Wednesday and Thursday's practice reports, but the tight end's full session Friday paves the way for him to suit up versus Tennessee. With Evan Engram (shoulder) on IR, Strange is in line to remain a key target for QB Mac Jones over his team's last two games this season. After racking up 11 catches for 73 yards on 12 targets in Week 15 against the Jets, Strange turned in a 2-22-0 effort on four targets in a 19-14 loss to the Raiders last weekend. In his current key role in the Jaguars' offense, Strange merits consideration in Week 17 fantasy lineups.

Logs limited practice Thursday Strange (shoulder) was limited at practice Thursday.

Impact Strange, who was also listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's practice report, has been managing a shoulder issue, but he could approach Sunday's game against the Titans without an injury designation, as he did ahead of Week 16 action despite being limited in practice Wednesday through Thursday. Strange, who racked up 11 catches for 73 yards on 12 targets in Week 15 versus the Jets, is coming off a 2/22/0 effort (on four targets) in the Jaguars' 19-14 loss to the Raiders this past weekend.

Listed as limited Wednesday Strange (shoulder) was listed as limited on Wednesday's practice report.

Impact Strange was limited ahead of Week 16 action, but didn't end up having a designation for the Jaguars' ensuing loss to the Raiders. Chances are, the tight end's listed limitations Wednesday were maintenance-related, with added context regarding Strange's status for Sunday's game against the Titans set to arrive via Thursday's injury report.

DECEMBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet against Raiders Strange recorded two receptions on four targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 19-14 loss to the Raiders.

Impact Strange failed to carry momentum over from a 12-target performance in Week 15, as he returned to minimal involvement in the Jacksonville offense despite Mac Jones taking to the air 39 times. While his production is split in two games since Evan Engram (shoulder) has been sidelined, Brian Thomas will remain the focal point of the offense while Parker Washington has also seen consistent targets in recent weeks. That leaves Strange as the projected third option in a poor passing offense, limiting his fantasy appeal.

DECEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared to face Las Vegas Strange (shoulder) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Raiders and is expected to play.

Impact Strange was limited in practice all week but is good to go for Week 16. With Evan Engram (shoulder) done for the season, Strange sits atop the depth chart at tight end and is coming off an 11-73-0 receiving line on 12 targets and 82 percent of the offensive snaps last week against the Jets. Strange has consistently produced useful fantasy box scores when Engram has missed games this season, and he gets a juicy matchup Sunday against Las Vegas.

Another limited practice Strange (shoulder) remained limited at practice Thursday.

Impact Per Juston Lewis of the Florida Times-Union, Strange -- who was also limited Wednesday -- sustained an AC joint sprain in last week's loss to the Jets. However, head coach Doug Pederson indicated that the tight end -- who logged 11 catches for 73 yards on 12 targets versus New York -- should be good to go Sunday against the Raiders. Friday's final injury report will reveal whether Strange heads into the weekend with an injury designation or cleared for Week 16 action.

DECEMBER 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Nursing AC joint sprain Strange was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a shoulder injury.

Impact According to Demetrius Harvey of the Florida Times-Union, head coach Doug Pederson said that Strange sustained an AC joint sprain in last week's 32-25 loss to the Jets. Fortunately for Strange, Pederson said that Strange will be fine to play in Sunday's game at Las Vegas, but he may need to upgrade to full practice participation by Friday to avoid taking a designation into the weekend. After Evan Engram (shoulder) placed on injured reserve last week, Strange stepped in as the Jaguars' top tight end in the loss to New York and turned some heads by recording 11 catches for 73 yards on 12 targets. Strange could struggle to reach that lofty target count again in Week 16, but he should nonetheless represent one of the top options in the passing game for quarterback Mac Jones.

Career-high 11 catches as TE1 Strange caught 11 of 12 targets for 73 yards in Sunday's 32-25 loss to the Jets.

Impact Strange took over as a short-yardage outlet in the first game since Evan Engram (shoulder) was ruled out for the remainder of the season. The 2023 second-round draft pick put on his best Engram impression, setting career highs in targets, catches and receiving yards. Without an appealing second option behind wide receiver Brian Thomas in Jacksonville's passing game, Strange could maintain a prominent role in Week 16 against a Raiders defense that has struggled to defend tight ends.

Impact Strange has played 40-plus percent of offensive snaps even with Engram available, a workload that bumped up to 70-plus percent of snaps when the veteran missed Week 2 through Week 5. Now, beginning Sunday versus the Jets, Strange will be in position to operate as Jacksonville's top tight end with Mac Jones under center. The second-year pro has compiled 23 catches for 256 yards and two touchdowns on 32 targets so far this season, across 13 appearances.

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, 2024 • 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, 2024 • 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, 2024 • 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, 2024 • 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, 2024 • 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.
