2025 Fantasy Outlook
Strange is set to take over full-time as Jacksonville's top tight end following the offseason departure of Evan Engram, who signed with the Broncos. The 2023 second-round pick got an extended look in that role last season while Engram dealt with injuries, catching 29 passes for 275 yards and two touchdowns on 39 targets in the eight games Engram missed. Overall, Strange had 411 receiving yards and two TDs in 2024, improving significantly on his 35-yard rookie season. He had at least 59 yards on four occasions but failed to exceed 25 in any other game. The inconsistency is unlikely to change much in 2025, with second overall pick Travis Hunter joining 2024 first-round pick Brian Thomas in a talented young WR room that will demand the majority of QB Trevor Lawrence’s attention. Strange figures to spend a lot of time blocking or running simple check-down routes, as he isn't particularly fast (4.70 40) and never had more than 362 yards in a season during his four years at Penn State.

Signed a four-year, $6.11 million contract with the Jaguars in May of 2023.
Out at least five weeks
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.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Strange played in 14 games during his rookie campaign and primarily served as Jacksonville's No. 3 tight end. He caught five of nine targets for 35 yards and a touchdown. Evan Engram is locked in as the Jags' top tight end, but the No. 2 role should be up for grabs. Strange, who was selected in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft, will be competing with Luke Farrell and Josiah Deguara for the role.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Breakout candidate for 2025 season
Strange holds down the tight end spot in Bucky Brooks of NFL.com's All-Breakout Team for 2025.
ANALYSIS
Strange had several productive performances during Evan Engram's injury-riddled 2024, and with the latter now in Denver, Brooks expects the former to fully come into his own as Trevor Lawrence's primary checkdown option. Given the expected vertical nature of Jacksonville's passing game and the fact defenses will have to account for Brian Thomas, Travis Hunter and Dyami Brown any time they're on field, Strange, who has impressive speed for a 250-pound-plus player, could find plenty of success in the middle of the field and down the seam.
