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.

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.

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.
Evan Engram busted out with 766 receiving yards and four touchdowns for Jacksonville last season and is back on the franchise tag, which gives Strange a chance to develop in a secondary role after being selected in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft. Strange is a strong blocker who also caught 32 passes for 362 yards and five touchdowns during his final collegiate campaign at Penn State. He's unlikely to be fantasy relevant as a rookie with Engram atop the depth chart -- tight ends rarely are immediately productive, anyway -- but Strange is likely viewed as more of a potential long-term solution.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Not returning in Week 11
TEJacksonville Jaguars
November 14, 2025
Strange, who's been on injured reserve with hip and quadriceps injuries since Oct. 7 and was designated to return Wednesday, has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Strange had his 21-day practice window opened at the earliest possible date, since he's missed the minimum four games. The talented tight end had originally been projected for at least a five-game absence, so Friday's news isn't entirely unexpected. Strange was able to practice in limited fashion both Wednesday and Thursday before sitting out Friday's session, and he'll now turn his attention to trying to suit up for a Week 12 road matchup against the Cardinals.
