Strange finished 2025 on a high note, averaging five targets and 48 yards with three touchdowns over the last seven games. The Jaguars added blocking tight end Nate Boerkircher in the draft, so Strange should be freed up to run more routes. Trevor Lawrence has proven to be at his best when throwing to the middle of the field, and Coach Liam Coen seemed very aware of Lawrence's strengths during the second half of last season. Drafting Strange near TE20 could result in a borderline TE1 season as the deep sleeper with a coaching staff that appears ready to unleash him as a pass catcher.

Tight end in crowded Jaguars pass-catching room. Community mentions him as one of five potential pass catchers (BTJ, Meyers, Washington, Hunter, Strange) who could be fantasy-relevant. One comment: 'We all know that's actually Brenton Strange' (joking that he will be the breakout). Another: 'Brenton Strange is also going to get his.' Likely to see red-zone and intermediate targets but not a primary focus in 2026 projections.

Brenton Strange is going as TE20 in the 12th round with a TE16-TE17 projection, positioning him to outperform his price. He posted career highs in 2025 with 46 receptions, 540 receiving yards, and three touchdowns despite missing five games (12-game season); his nine receptions of 20-plus yards ranked fifth in the AFC among tight ends, and he was TE15 from Weeks 11-17. Under Liam Coen—who elevated Cade Otton to TE14 at Tampa Bay in 2024 by relying on a single pass-catching tight end—Strange will play an integral role in an ascending Jacksonville offense and produced 83 percent of overall tight-end PPR scoring despite his missed time. A legitimate concern: Strange hasn't been utilized much near the goal line, having yet to clear three touchdowns or four end-zone targets in a single season, which limits his ceiling despite strong overall production and role security.

PositiveUsageJul 6, 2026Hayden Winks - PPR Rankings
Brenton Strange (TE, JAX) is #152 overall in Hayden Winks' 2026 Half-PPR rankings vs. Underdog ADP 151.5 with a 124.8-point projection. Verdict: Strange is a viable target in extremely crowded offense as mid-range TE2. Strange is a quality player in both phases and provides some upside as a flier TE2 in fantasy football, but the reality is the Jaguars have 4 WRs, 3 RBs, and 2 TEs in the mix. The Jaguars drafted 2nd-round TE Nate Boerkircher to help out in blocking situations this offseason, and Strange's breakout coincided without Travis Hunter and with Brian Thomas Jr. struggling.

Three-year extension signals Jaguars' commitment. Community sentiment split: some see late-round upside (15th-16th round) in Trevor Lawrence stack if multiple WRs get injured; others note he's crowded in receiving room and upside is limited given profile. One comment claims he was leading team in receiving prior to injury, suggesting underrated potential, but consensus is his fantasy value depends heavily on injury luck to pass catchers ahead of him.

Article features Strange as undervalued sleeper; community split. Supporters cite 75%+ snap share and best-value ADP in Jags offense; skeptics counter that he tied for 18th in targets per game (0.1 tpg ahead of Theo Johnson), and Jags drafted TE in 2nd round (negative draft capital signal). One comment notes Jags spread ball and Strange is latest-drafted piece on field 75%+ snaps; another warns too many mouths to feed in JAX. Consensus: worthy upside dart throw but target volume is the real concern, not snap share.

Not featured in article but dominates community discussion as preferred late-round TE alternative. Described as 'Mr. Goat' and '#1 target' of Trevor Lawrence. High-scoring comment (190): 'If I'm not getting one of the top 4 guys I am just rolling with TLaws #1 Target AKA Mr.Goat Brenton Strange.' Jaguars fan reports Strange targeted on first 4 passes in preseason when starters played. Positioned as consistent cheap-floor TE with higher upside than Friermuth (previous years). One comment: 'Strange in round 12 or 14 and Fannin off the waivers' as part of value-based TE strategy. Some skepticism: one comment notes Koziol might be better and Strange 'wasn't a great prospect'; another calls hi...
