PositiveSleeperSep 11, 2026
The Jaguars have a solid 24 point implied team total this week and are hoping for plenty of passing touchdowns. The Jags paid Strange in the offseason for good reason: he was effective last year with a 15.4% red zone target share (tied for third-highest on the team) and a 12.5% receiving touchdown market share. Trevor Lawrence looks to Strange in the red zone.NegativeProjectionSep 9, 2026
Strange has improved his numbers season-to-season over his first three years in the NFL. Last year he averaged 3.8 catches and 45 receiving yards per game while showing good chemistry with Trevor Lawrence. The main concern is his touchdown ceiling—just six across his first three seasons—but as long as second-round rookie Nate Boerkircher doesn't eat into his targets significantly, Strange has as good a floor as any streaming option.PositiveProjectionSep 8, 2026

Strange has breakout potential in Jacksonville's offense under Liam Coen, who previously supported Evan Engram as an elite fantasy tight end. However, competing weapons (Brian Thomas Jr., Parker Washington, Jakobi Meyers) will compete for targets, creating uncertainty around his ceiling.PositiveBreakoutSep 3, 2026

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.NegativeProjectionAug 12, 2026
