Quiet day in blowout win
Strange caught one of three targets for 26 yards during Sunday's 48-20 win against the Jets.
Analysis: The 25-year-old didn't get on the board until a 26-yard reception in the third quarter, and he's now totaled just four catches for 53 yards across the past two games. Jacksonville's offense has been humming with seven straight games of at least 25 points, the last three of which have been blowout victories. Strange has clearly established himself as the Jaguars' No. 1 tight end but has limited upside for fantasy managers with the offense primarily running through Travis Etienne, Brian Thomas…read more

Only 27 yards in blowout win
Strange recorded three receptions on six targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 36-19 win over the Colts.
Analysis: Strange tied for second on the team with six targets, though he had little to show for it. His longest gain went for 16 yards on a reception late in the first quarter, and he also came up just short of the end zone on the Jaguars' first offensive possession while being targeted inside the 10. Strange has at least four targets in all three of his games since returning from injury, though this was his lowest yardage total in that span.

Comes through with 21-yard score
Strange recorded three receptions on four targets for 45 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 25-3 win over the Titans.
Analysis: Strange caught all three of his passes in the first half, with his most impactful reception coming on a 21-yard touchdown catch, splitting the Tennessee defense down the middle of the field. He chipped in a pair of 12-yard receptions to help set up a field goal as the first half concluded to cap off his day. Strange now has eight receptions on nine targets for 138 yards and a score in two games since returning from injured reserve.

Leading receiver in OT win
Strange (hip) finished with five receptions on as many targets for 93 yards in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win against Arizona.
Analysis: Strange made a triumphant return from a five-game injury absence, finishing as Jacksonville's leading receiver with a season-high 93 yards in a thrilling overtime victory. The 24-year-old was averaging 4.8 receptions and 45.5 yards in four games prior to going down in Week 5, so it was a great sign for fantasy managers to see their tight end maintain a large role on offense following his lengthy layoff. With a clean bill of health and the starting job intact, Strange checks in as a startable…read more

Strange (hip) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Analysis: Strange last suited up for game action in Week 5, but after being activated from IR by the Jaguars on Saturday, the tight end will rejoin a pass-catching corps that could use a boost this week, with WR Travis Hunter (knee) out for the season and WR Brian Thomas (ankle) as well as TE Hunter Long (hip/knee) both sidelined versus Arizona.

Returns from IR, still questionable
The Jaguars activated Strange (hip) from injured reserve Saturday, but he remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Analysis: Strange was a limited participant in practice all week, and though he's still carrying a designation into Sunday, his activation from IR indicates that he'll likely make his return to the lineup following a five-game absence. With Hunter Long (hip) ruled out for Week 12, Strange should step back in as the Jaguars' top tight end on the depth chart while Quintin Morris and Johnny Mundt provide depth at the position.

Questionable, but still on IR
Strange (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Arizona, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Unlike last week, when he was ruled out on the Jaguars' final injury report, Strange has a chance to return to action this weekend, but the team will need to activate him from IR by Saturday afternoon before not including him on its Week 12 list of inactives. Fellow TE Hunter Long (hip/knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest, so if Strange is able to suit up, he'll join Quintin Morris and Johnny Mundt as options at the position.

Strange (hip) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: The Jaguars opened Strange's 21-day practice window last week, with the tight end then logging limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday before resting Friday. He was ruled out for Sunday's eventual win over the Chargers, but he could make a real run at playing this coming Sunday against the Cardinals. With Hunter Long (hip) also banged up, Quintin Morris and Johnny Mundt shared TE snaps during the win over Los Angeles.

Won't return Sunday
Strange (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Analysis: Since the Jaguars designated Strange for return from injured reserve Wednesday, he logged a pair of limited practices before sitting out Friday's session. It's unclear if he may have tweaked the quad injury that has sidelined him since Week 6, but he at least isn't a candidate to be activated for Week 11 action. Among tight ends on Jacksonville's active roster, Hunter Long (hip/knee) also won't play Sunday, leaving Johnny Mundt and Quintin Morris as the options at the position.

The Jaguars announced Wednesday that Strange (quadriceps) has been designated for a return to practice from IR.
Analysis: Strange's practice window is opening at the earliest eligible date, as he's already missed four games since having been placed on IR due to a quadriceps injury and had the benefit of Jacksonville's bye in Week 8 to further rest. The top tight end could return to action as early as Sunday versus the Chargers, though in order to do so Strange could likely have to log full practice activity right off the bat.

It remains to be seen whether Strange could be a candidate to return to the starting lineup in time to face Los Angeles, however.

Strange (quadriceps) is expected to miss at least five weeks due to a quadriceps and hip injury that includes a ligament tear, NFL Insider Jordan Schultz reports.
Analysis: Strange already was facing an absence of at least four weeks after being placed on injured reserve Tuesday, so this update doesn't significantly change his return timeline, though it provides clarity on the nature of his injury. Schultz adds that Strange isn't expected to need surgery on the injury the tight end suffered in Monday's win over Kansas City.

Strange brought in six of seven targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 26-21 win over the 49ers.
Analysis: Strange finished in a tie with Brian Thomas for the lead in team targets while leading his club in receptions in a solid overall effort. The 24-year-old tight end has produced 19 receptions for 182 yards through four starts, well ahead of his pace across 17 games last season (40-411-2).

Strange has at least four targets in each of the first three games as he takes over what was a high-volume role during Evan Engram's tenure with the team.

Strange secured three of five targets for 17 yads during Sunday's 31-27 loss to Cincinnati.
Analysis: Strange again operated as Jacksonville's clear No. 1 tight end, playing 90 percent of offensive snaps, but it was wideouts Dyami Brown (5-57-1) and Parker Washington (5-76-0) who stepped up in the receiving game with both Brian Thomas and Travis Hunter held in check for a second straight week. Strange has drawn nine targets through two weeks, enough volume to put him on the radar as a back-end TE1 for fantasy purposes heading into a Week 3 matchup against the Texans.

Strange recorded one reception on one target for 11 yards in Saturday's 31-25 preseason loss to the Steelers.
Analysis: Strange played one offensive possession with the Jaguars' starting skill-position unit and hauled in his only target over the middle of the field. The offseason departure of Evan Engram leaves Strange as the clear top tight end on the depth chart, though it may be hard for him to be a consistent fantasy contributor due to target competition from the likes of Brian Thomas and Travis Hunter.

Strange has had strong chemistry with quarterback Trevor Lawrence and been a consistent performer early in training camp, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

Working as clear TE1 at camp
Strange is operating as the Jaguars' starting tight end at training camp, Paul Bretl of USA Today reports.
Analysis: This comes as zero surprise following Evan Engram's offseason departure to Denver, but it was noteworthy that Jacksonville did very little at the tight end position during the offseason, opting to add only depth-type blockers Johnny Mundt, Hunter Long and Quintin Morris. Strange started eight regular-season games that Engram missed last season, totaling 29-285-2 receiving in those contests. Strange is a popular late-round pick at tight end in early fantasy drafts this summer.

Strange started the final four games of the season for the Jaguars with Evan Engram (shoulder) sidelined, catching 17 of 21 targets for 155 yards over that stretch.

Strange caught 11 of 12 targets for 73 yards in Sunday's 32-25 loss to the Jets.
Analysis: 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.

Becomes top TE on depth chart
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.
Analysis: 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.

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 corralled all five of his targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Packers.
Analysis: Strange finished with the most receptions for the Jaguars on Sunday, but it was fellow tight end Evan Engram who produced the better fantasy line (4-36-1).

Analysis: Strange faded back into obscurity as Evan Engram returned from a hamstring injury and led the 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.

Analysis: 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.

In that span, Strange has caught eight of 14 targets for 96 yards and one score.

The 2023 second-round pick played 41 of 60 offensive snaps and finished second on the team in targets.

Strange finished the season with five catches on nine targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in 14 games.
Analysis: The rookie second-round pick's first year in the NFL wasn't a particularly notable one, as he worked as Jacksonville's No. 3 tight end. Both Evan Engram and Luke Farrell remain under contract in 2024, but the latter is primarily a blocking tight end.

Analysis: The rookie tight end out of Penn State was limited all week in practice after missing Jacksonville's last three games with this foot issue, and he has a shot at suiting up Week 16. Even if Strange is able to play Sunday, he'd likely see minimal work on offense, as he's behind both Evan Engram and Luke Farrell on the Jaguars' depth chart.

Limited to begin Week 15 prep
Strange (foot) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Strange has missed the Jaguars' past two games due to a foot injury, and he didn't practice at all last week. His ability to get in a limited session on the first day of Week 15 prep suggests that he's making progress, but the tight end's chance of returning to action against Baltimore on Sunday could hinge on how much he's able to practice the rest of the week. When healthy, Strange has had a fairly significant role as a blocker, but he's totaled just four catches on seven targets for 34 yards…read more

Catches first touchdown
Strange caught two of three targets for 27 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 37-20 win over Indianapolis.
Analysis: The rookie second-round pick had just two catches for seven yards across the first five games of the season, but he played a season-high 55 percent of Jacksonville's offensive snaps Sunday. He saw similar playing time as fellow reserve tight end Luke Farrell, while Evan Engram remains the clear starter. Strange could work as Jacksonville's No. 2 tight end going forward, but he's unlikely to see much action in the passing game if Engram stays healthy.

No targets in debut
Strange played 27 offensive snaps but wasn't targeted during Sunday's 31-21 win against the Colts.
Analysis: The rookie second-round pick received a fair amount of playing time in his professional debut but was an afterthought in the passing game, with starter Evan Engram being the only Jacksonville tight end to receive any targets. Luke Farrell received a bit more playing time, but neither he nor Strange are likely to see much of the ball while Engram remains healthy.

Fighting for backup job
Strange recorded three receptions on four targets for 23 yards in Saturday's 25-7 preseason win over the Lions.
Analysis: Strange was the second tight end on the field after incumbent backup Luke Farrell. He ended up getting a significant amount of run late into the second quarter, and his most significant contribution came on a 15-yard gain that was primarily based on work after the catch. For now, Strange appears to be third on the tight end depth chart, though he could jump Farrell prior to the close of the preseason.
