Jaguars' Brenton Strange: Career-high 11 catches as TE1
Brenton 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.

Jaguars' Brenton Strange: Becomes top TE on depth chart
Brenton Strange is set for a larger role on offense to close out the 2024 campaign, with head coach Doug Pederson having announced Friday that Evan Engram will miss the rest of the season due to a shoulder injury, John Shipley of SI.com reports.Strange has recently played 40-plus percent of offensive snaps even with Engram available, and his involvement maxed out at 70-plus percent of snaps when Engram missed Week 2 through 5. Now, beginning Sunday versus the Jets, Strange will be in a position to operate as Jacksonville's top option at tight end with Mac Jones under center. The second-year pro has compiled 23 catches for 256 yards and two touchdowns on 32 targets so far this season across 13 appearances.

Jaguars' Brenton Strange: Totals 25 yards
Brenton 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.

Jaguars' Brenton Strange: No targets in loss
Brenton 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.

Jaguars' Brenton Strange: Cashes in all five targets Sunday
Brenton Strange corralled all five of his targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Packers.Strange finished with the most receptions for the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, but it was fellow tight end Evan Engram who produced the better fantasy line (4-36-1). Strange has provided low-end fantasy value as a sophomore and should be treated as such heading into next Sunday's road tilt against the Eagles.

Jaguars' Brenton Strange: No targets in win
Brenton Strange did not draw any targets in Sunday's 32-16 win against the Patriots.The Jacksonville Jaguars were able to leverage a very run-heavy attack offensively in Week 7, so Strange's snap count (27) actually lagged behind that of blocking specialist Luke Farrell (30). As long as Evan Engram is healthy, Strange won't be anything more than a fantasy dart throw.

Jaguars' Brenton Strange: Two targets in Engram's return
Brenton Strange caught one of two targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 35-16 loss to the Bears.Strange faded back into obscurity as Evan Engram returned from a hamstring injury and led the Jacksonville Jaguars with 10 catches for 102 yards. Strange saw an end-zone target despite Engram's presence, but the 2023 second-round pick will be tough to rely on from a fantasy standpoint now that he's back in a No. 2 role.

Jaguars' Brenton Strange: Likely heading to backup role
Brenton Strange could see a reduction in playing time Sunday against the Bears due to Evan Engram (hamstring) being active for the first time since Week 1, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.After Engram injured his hamstring in pregame warmups prior to the Jacksonville Jaguars' Week 2 loss to the Browns, Strange has performed admirably as the team's No. 1 tight end over the past four contests, putting together a 12-120-2 receiving line on 18 targets. Though Engram will likely start Sunday's contest, the Jaguars could ease him back in with a lighter snap count than usual, given that he remained a limited participant in practice all week. Even so, the return of Engram is still expected to result in fewer snaps for Strange, whose limited fantasy appeal will likely fall by the wayside.

Jaguars' Brenton Strange: Catches another touchdown
Brenton Strange secured all four of his targets for 24 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 37-34 win against the Colts.The 2023 second-round pick played 49 of 58 offensive snaps as Evan Engram (hamstring) sat out a fourth straight game after being labeled questionable. Strange wasn't significantly involved in the passing game but still finished tied for third on the team in targets and receptions while tallying his second touchdown of the season. Engram appears to be closing in on his return to game action, at which point Strange should see reduced opportunities as Jacksonville's No. 2 tight end.

Jaguars' Brenton Strange: Brings in three targets
Brenton Strange secured all three of his targets for 19 yards during Sunday's' 24-20 loss to the Texans.Strange has drawn three straight starts at tight end with Evan Engram (hamstring) sidelined, and has been the busier pass-catcher over Luke Farrell (zero catches, one target versus Houston). In that span, Strange has caught eight of 14 targets for 96 yards and one score. If Engram is able to get back on the field against the Colts in Week 5, however, Strange figures to return to a depth role.
