Strange had a breakout 2025 season as TE17 in fantasy points per game with career highs in targets (12 games), receiving yards, yards per reception, and fantasy points per game. Among 54 qualifying tight ends, he ranked 21st in target share, 14th in receiving yards per game, ninth in yards per route run, 23rd in first-read share, and 11th in first-downs per route run. Trevor Lawrence could lean on Strange in Week 1 with perimeter wide receivers facing tough matchups; Cleveland allowed the 13th-most yards per target and 18th-most fantasy points per opportunity to tight ends last year.

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.

Strange is hanging out in the 14th round on ESPN despite being one of the more underrated fantasy tight ends in the league. He missed five games last year but still commanded an 11 percent target share thanks to a 20.2 percent TPRR, converting it into a strong 1.82 YPRR (87th percentile among tight ends). Extrapolating a full season would yield approximately 65 catches on 85 targets for 765 yards and five touchdowns—139 points in 0.5 PPR and right on the fringe of a TE1 finish. He operates in short and intermediate parts of the field where Trevor Lawrence is proficient, giving him a strong rapport with his quarterback. The source wants exposure to the Jacksonville offense and sees Strange as the cheapest path, expecting a top-12 tight end finish in his range of outcomes despite being drafted as TE17.
