Rest-of-Season Outlook and Availability
Outlook
The ceiling hinges on touchdowns. Just three scores on 10 red-zone looks last year, and only six across his career, keeps the floor honest, especially with Jacksonville's loaded receiver room and a pair of rookie tight ends added. Still, his late-season surge and improving year-over-year usage make him a sturdy mid-round TE2 with sleeper upside if the scoring rate finally catches the volume.

Brenton Strange Rest-of-Season Outlook
Efficient depth TE for deep leagues only
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished TE23 last season at 9.8 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 3 games he's TE27 at 6.7 PPR points per game, against 9.8 over 12 games last season (TE23). He's running behind last season's pace.
Last season he ranked 25th of 81 in route participation (52.9%), 23rd of 82 in target share (11.0%) and 11th of 82 in efficiency (1.70 yards per route run). His points come from his efficiency. Trevor Lawrence is his quarterback.
The main risk is the job itself. He's the listed starter with Nate Boerkircher next on the depth chart, and a benching or an injury would take his value to zero overnight.
The next favorable matchups are the Bengals in Week 4 (5th against TEs) and the Colts in Week 8 (7th against TEs).
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 17, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
Strange's 2025 tape backs the leap: in 12 games he ran 318 routes (52.9% of dropbacks), drew 60 targets at an 11% share, and turned them into 46 catches for 540 yards on a 76.7% catch rate. The efficiency markers are loud for the position, a 0.523 EPA per play, a 63.3% success rate, and 1.70 yards per route run, all career bests that pushed him from TE31 to TE18 despite missing time. He's the undisputed top tight end in Jacksonville, third on the team in routes, and a genuine pillar of this passing game alongside Lawrence.
The ceiling hinges on touchdowns. Just three scores on 10 red-zone looks last year, and only six across his career, keeps the floor honest, especially with Jacksonville's loaded receiver room and a pair of rookie tight ends added. Still, his late-season surge and improving year-over-year usage make him a sturdy mid-round TE2 with sleeper upside if the scoring rate finally catches the volume.
