Brenton Strange

Brenton Strange hit career highs in receptions (46), receiving yards (540) and TD catches (3) last season despite playing only 12 games. The 25-year-old Strange, a second-round draft pick in 2023, averaged an impressive 9.0 yards per target and a solid 1.58 yards per route run in an ascendant Jacksonville offense. Still, his fantasy impact was modest. Strange finished TE18 in half-point PPR fantasy points per game among TEs who played at least five games. Although his 2025 performance hints at greater fantasy potential, Strange may have to share snaps with other tight ends in Jacksonville. The Jaguars selected Nate Boerkircher in the second round and Tanner Koziol in the fifth round of this year's draft. That suggests the Jaguars will use more multiple-TE sets this season, which wouldn't necessarily be bad for Strange, but it somewhat clouds his fantasy outlook for 2026.

The Jaguars signed Brenton Strange to a three-year contract extension.

Fantasy Impact

The deal is worth “up to” $48 million with $25 million guaranteed. Strange missed five games last season, but emerged as a top threat in the passing game when he was healthy for Trevor Lawrence last season. Strange profiles as a borderline TE1 for fantasy managers with Nate Boerkircher and Tanner Koziol competing for snaps behind him.
