News: 4 days agoStrange is the Jaguars' projected Week 1 starter at tight end following the NFL's cut-down day, John Oehser of the team's official site reports.

Spin: Strange inked a three-year extension with Jacksonville back in June, and in the wake of roster cuts, rookie second-round pick Nate Boerkircher, rookie fifth-rounder Tanner Koziol and fifth-year pro Quintin Morris are the other TEs on the roster. As a result, Strange is the likeliest member of the group, barring health concerns, to end the campaign as the leader in offensive snaps. He's also coming off a 2025 season in which he posted a 46-540-3 line on 60 targets across 12 regular-season games.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Strange played well in his first season as Jacksonville's clear No. 1 tight end, but it simply didn't lead to much fantasy success. The 2023 second-round pick handled a solid 16% target share during the 12 games he was healthy, but that was only enough to lead to 9.8 fantasy PPG (18th among tight ends). Strange simply hasn't been utilized much near the goal line, as he's yet to clear three touchdowns or four end zone targets in a single season. The 25-year-old is a reliable target for QB Trevor Lawrence, but with the team so well-stocked at wide receiver, consistent fantasy production is a long shot. Consider Strange a low-ceiling TE2.
