Brenton Strange's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange had a fantastic game in Week 15 against the New York Jets. He finished with 11 catches for 73 yards on 12 targets. In a game with multiple receiving options out with injuries, Strange stepped up big time. Starting tight end Evan Engram was put on injured reserve after last week's game, putting Strange in a great position to be more involved. This was a breakout performance for the young tight end, easily the best game of his young career. Rookie receiver Brian Thomas Jr.'s outstanding 10-catch, 105-yard, two-touchdown performance will overshadow Strange's, but fantasy managers should be more intrigued by Strange given this outlier output. Strange will be looking to build on this breakout game in Week 16 against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange can be a decent option in Week 15 against the New York Jets for fantasy managers dealing with tight end injuries. Starting tight end Evan Engram is out for the season, meaning Strange has a chance to step up. Given Engram only put up four catches for 33 yards last week against the Tennessee Titans with Mac Jones under center, it is hard to imagine Strange having a big game. However, with multiple injuries to starting tight ends, such as Engram, David Njoku, Dallas Goedert, and Will Dissly, fantasy managers can do much worse than Strange. The Jets are good against tight ends, so it would be rash to start Strange over a more established option, but at the very least, Strange is worth picking up as a backup in Week 15.

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange has a unique opportunity to produce this week against the Philadelphia Eagles despite starting tight end Evan Engram fully healthy. Every prominent receiving option besides Engram is seemingly banged up, so the Jaguars could run more two tight end sets than usual. If that is the case, Strange could receive a decent target share this week due to less target competition than usual. That is a big if, but he did finish with five catches for 59 yards last week, so that should leave fantasy managers with some optimism for his outlook this week. If all of the receivers questionable are ruled out, Strange serves as an interesting dart-throw option at the tight end position for fantasy managers in Week 9.

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange surprised in Week 8 with a solid outing backing up Evan Engram. The second year tight end finished with five catches for 59 yards. Strange surprisingly led the team in receptions in what was somewhat of a down game for Engram. He also was just one yard shy of the team lead, behind Brian Thomas Jr.'s 60 receiving yards. While anyone who for some reason started Strange should be happy with this performance, it doesn't mean much for his fantasy prospects going forward. With Christian Kirk out for the rest of the season with a broken collarbone, Strange could be next in line to step up, but that still leaves him behind BTJ, Engram, Gabe Davis, and the running backs on the target order for Trevor Lawrence. Strange and the Jaguars take on the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 9.

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange caught one of the two passing touchdowns quarterback Trevor Lawrence had in a 37-34 win over the Indianapolis Colts. Strange finished with 24 yards on four catches. The young tight end now has two touchdowns and 120 yards on the season. It seemed like Evan Engram (hamstring) had a decent chance of returning in Week 5, but that was not the case, so the second-year pro got the start for the third straight game. This could be the last start Strange gets, so his fantasy managers should be happy with his fantasy output over the past few weeks given his status as a backup tight end. If Engram were to miss even more time, Strange would continue to be a solid streaming option. The Jaguars face off against the Chicago Bears in London in Week 6, where it will be interesting to see how involved Strange is if Engram does return.
