Strange's target share and red-zone role support a 2026 breakout despite crowded WR room.

Strange's talent and situation align for a breakout: since joining Jacksonville in 2023, his routes and target share have trended upward; after returning from a Week 5 hip injury, he supplanted Brian Thomas Jr. as the WR3 (16.6% share) and led the team in red-zone targets (14); his yards per route run ranked ninth among all TEs in 2025 (minimum 10 games) and YAC per reception improved between Years 2 and 3. Despite a crowded receiving corps (Jakobi Meyers, Thomas Jr., Travis Hunter), Strange's productivity and utility within the offense should keep his draft cost down while offering upside.
