Strange looked great in Week 12 at Arizona in his first game back from a five-game absence with a hip injury with five catches for 93 yards on five targets. That's now three healthy games in a row with at least 10.5 PPR points going back to Week 4, and I would start him in all leagues against the Titans in Week 13, especially if Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) remains out. Tennessee has allowed two tight ends in the past three games to score at least 11.1 PPR points, and Strange has top-10 upside in all leagues in this matchup.
Even if I am not starting him this week, I would like to have Strange on a roster. He faces the Colts twice in the last month of the Fantasy season, including the Fantasy Championships in Week 17.

Jaguars' Brenton Strange: Week 13 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Strange returned from his five-game absence with a hip injury with a bang in Week 12 at Arizona with five catches for 93 yards on five targets. That's now three healthy games in a row with at least 10.5 PPR points going back to Week 4, and he should continue to be a big factor for the Jaguars, especially with Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) hurt. Strange is worth adding in all leagues for at least 10 percent of your remaining FAB, and he could be a low-end starter in all leagues in Week 13 at Tennessee.

Jaguars' Brenton Strange: Leading receiver in OT win
Rotowire
Strange (hip) finished with five receptions on as many targets for 93 yards in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win against Arizona.
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 option in most formats for next Sunday's tilt against the Titans.

Jaguars' Brenton Strange: Active for Week 12
Rotowire
Strange (hip) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
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. Prior to being sidelined, Strange had caught 20 passes (on 24 targets) for 204 yards in five contests, a pace that had landed him on the fantasy lineup radar before his hip injury.

Jaguars' Brenton Strange: Returns from IR, still questionable
Rotowire
The Jaguars activated Strange (hip) from injured reserve Saturday, but he remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
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. Prior to his injury, Strange caught 20 passes (on 24 targets) for 204 yards across five appearances.

Jaguars' Brenton Strange: Questionable, but still on IR
Rotowire
Strange (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Arizona, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
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.

Jaguars' Brenton Strange: Limited at practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Strange (hip) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
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.

Jaguars' Brenton Strange: Week 12 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Strange (hip) has been out since Week 5, but he will hopefully return in Week 12 at Arizona. When healthy, Strange could be a low-end starter in the majority of leagues, especially if Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) remains out. Prior to getting hurt, Strange scored at least 10.5 PPR points in two games in a row, and he should be added for at least 5 percent of your remaining FAB.

Jaguars' Brenton Strange: Won't return Sunday
Rotowire
Strange (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
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.

Jaguars' Brenton Strange: Practice window officially opens
Rotowire
The Jaguars announced Wednesday that Strange (quadriceps) has been designated for a return to practice from IR.
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. Top WR Brian Thomas (ankle) and No. 2 tight end Hunter Long (hip) were both unavailable Week 10 versus Houston.

Jaguars' Brenton Strange: Week 11 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Strange (quadriceps) is eligible to return in Week 11, and hopefully, he's healthy enough to play against the Chargers. Prior to getting hurt in Week 5 against Kansas City, Strange had scored at least 10.5 PPR points in two games in a row against the Texans and 49ers. Given the state of Jacksonville's receiving corps -- Travis Hunter (knee) is on injured reserve and Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) is hurt -- Strange could be a go-to weapon for Trevor Lawrence. Strange is worth adding for 1 percent of your remaining FAB.

Jaguars' Brenton Strange: Will practice Week 11
Rotowire
Jaguars head coach Liam Coen said Monday that Strange (quadriceps) will have his 21-day practice window opened Week 11, Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Strange has missed Jacksonville's last four games while on IR, but he'll get back on the practice field in at least a limited capacity in advance of Sunday's matchup against the Chargers. It remains to be seen whether Strange could be a candidate to return to the starting lineup in time to face Los Angeles, however. Once fully cleared, Strange will resume operating as the Jaguars' top tight end, a role that Hunter Long (hip) had filled before an injury forced him to remain sidelined Week 10 versus the Texans.

Jaguars' Brenton Strange: Heads to IR with quad issue
Rotowire
The Jaguars placed Strange on injured reserve Tuesday due to a quadriceps injury, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Strange sustained what the Jaguars had previously labeled as a hip injury with just over four minutes remaining in the first half of Monday's 31-28 win over the Chiefs, resulting in his early exit from the contest. After undergoing further testing, Strange has now been diagnosed with a quad issue that will keep him out multiple games, though Garafolo relays that the Jaguars anticipate that the tight end has avoided a season-ending injury and will be able to return in around a month. Despite playing just 22 snaps in Monday's win, Strange leads the Jaguars with 20 catches through five games and has produced 204 receiving yards and no touchdowns. His absence should open up more opportunities at tight end for Johnny Mundt and Hunter Long.

Jaguars' Brenton Strange: Week 6 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
I'll update this post after Monday night's game against the Chiefs, but Strange went into Week 5 having scored at least 10.5 PPR points in each of his past two games against Houston and San Francisco. In Week 6, Strange gets a fantastic matchup against the Seahawks, who are No. 3 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends. He's worth adding in all leagues for at least 10 percent of your remaining FAB.
Strange probably has the highest floor on the waiver wire this week. He's scored at least 9.9 PPR Fantasy points in three of four games, and he doesn't have a touchdown yet. He has 14 targets in his last two games combined. The Chiefs have given up very little to opposing tight ends, but Mark Andrews is the closest thing they have faced to a good tight end.

Jaguars' Brenton Strange: Week 5 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Strange has been a solid, low-end starter for the past two weeks, and he is worth adding in all leagues for at least 5 percent of your remaining FAB. In his past two games against Houston and San Francisco, Strange has combined for 12 catches for 106 yards on 14 targets, and he scored at least 10.5 PPR points in each outing. He has a difficult matchup in Week 5 against Kansas City, but Strange should continue to be a reliable weapon for Trevor Lawrence and a good source of production for Fantasy managers in need of a tight end.

Jaguars' Brenton Strange: Leads team with six receptions
Rotowire
Strange brought in six of seven targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 26-21 win over the 49ers.
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 quietly entered the fantasy conversation at a shallow position as the Jaguars prepare to face Kansas City on Monday Night Football in Week 5.

Jaguars' Brenton Strange: Week 4 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Strange had his best game of the season in Week 3 against Houston with six catches for 61 yards on seven targets. He's now scored at least 9.9 PPR points in two of three games this season, and he's averaging six targets per game in his past two outings against the Bengals and Texans. Strange should be considered a streamer heading into Week 4 at San Francisco, and he's worth adding in all leagues for 1 percent of your remaining FAB.

Jaguars' Brenton Strange: Season-best effort in win
Rotowire
Strange brought in six of seven targets for 61 yards in the Jaguars' 17-10 win over the Texans on Sunday.
Strange led the Jaguars in both receptions and receiving yards on the afternoon with figures that also qualified as season highs for the third-year tight end. 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. The 2023 second-round pick appears to have burgeoning chemistry with the inconsistent Trevor Lawrence, and Strange could once again serve as a key target when Lawrence tries to navigate an aggressive 49ers defense in a Week 4 road matchup next Sunday.
