Strange's efficient route production and Eagles' slot weakness create Week 5 opportunity.

Strange runs 41 percent of his pass routes from the slot and posts 0.46 fantasy points per route run, which exceeds production from Sam LaPorta and Juwan Johnson. Against Philadelphia's slot defense in Week 5, which ranks 19th in adjusted yards per target on slot looks, Strange could benefit from the Eagles' vulnerability to slot-targeted receivers.
