The Doug Pederson offense has long featured the tight end and that continued in Week 15 with Brenton Strange seeing 12 targets in relief of Evan Engram. While I do value Strange as a top-12 tight end and a great streamer against a good matchup, it's worth mentioning that Engram missed four games earlier this season only saw 18 targets in the four games combined.

In the first game without Evan Engram (shoulder) since he went on injured reserve in Week 15 against the Jets, Strange went off with 11 catches for 73 yards on 12 targets. And he now has at least 9.2 PPR points in three of the last four games Engram has missed after he was out from Weeks 2-4 earlier this year. We'll see if that can happen again in Week 16 at Las Vegas, but it's a great matchup since the Raiders are No. 5 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends. Three tight ends in the past five games against Las Vegas have scored at least 10 PPR points, and Strange should be considered a No. 1 Fantasy tight end in all leagues in Week 16.

Strange caught 11 of 12 targets for 73 yards in Sunday's 32-25 loss to the Jets. Strange took over as a short-yardage outlet in the first game since Evan Engram (shoulder) was ruled out for the remainder of the season. The 2023 second-round draft pick put on his best Engram impression, setting career highs in targets, catches and receiving yards. Without an appealing second option behind wide receiver Brian Thomas in Jacksonville's passing game, Strange could maintain a prominent role in Week 16 against a Raiders defense that has struggled to defend tight ends.

Strange caught two of three targets for 25 yards during Sunday's 12-7 loss to Minnesota. Strange finished second on the team in receiving yards, though that's not saying much on a day when fill-in quarterback Mac Jones threw for only 111 yards. The 2023 second-round pick has been occasionally involved in the passing game since the return of starter Evan Engram, but Strange shouldn't be on the fantasy radar while Engram is healthy.
-
Strange played nine offensive snaps and wasn't targeted during Sunday's 28-23 loss to the Eagles. The 23-year-old secured a career-high five receptions Week 8 against the Packers, but he was out-snapped by No. 3 tight end Luke Farrell in Sunday's loss. Strange may be occasionally involved in the passing game when Evan Engram is healthy but doesn't have a consistent enough role for fantasy consideration.
