Brenton Strange
TE - Jacksonville Jaguars
Availability
Just as everyone bought into Brenton Strange last week, he tosses a dud. Last week, in a wonderful matchup, he secured only three of his six targets for 27 scoreless receiving yards. Since Week 12, he has two TE1 weekly finishes (TE4, TE7) while drawing a 17% target share with 55 receiving yards per game, 2.39 yards per route run, and a 17.7% first-read share. In those three games, he has had three red zone targets and four deep targets. This isn't the week to consider going back to Strange. Since Week 9, the Jets have allowed the 12th-fewest receiving yards per game and the ninth-fewest fantasy points per game to tight ends.
The Jaguars have started to get hot down the stretch. Is this a coincidence that their success has correlated with Strange's return? Potentially. Since returning, Strange has been a steady receiver for Trevor Lawrence. Totalling 15 targets, nine receptions, 165 yards, and a score over his last three games, he is a decent TE option in all formats. This week, they face the Jets, who are above league average against fantasy TEs. With Brian Thomas Jr. and Jakobi Meyers hitting their stride, Strange is a solid third option that is locked into a decent fantasy floor.
