Strange was one of the most surprising picks of the 2023 NFL Draft considering where he typically landed in mock drafts, but he carries with him big-time prospect pedigree and he now joins an excellent system for developing tight ends (see: Evan Engram in 2022). Strange is unlikely to make a Fantasy impact in 2023 unless Engram misses time with injuries, but if he does, Strange could be a hot waiver wire commodity.

Jaguars' Brenton Strange: No targets in debut
Rotowire
Strange played 27 offensive snaps but wasn't targeted during Sunday's 31-21 win against the Colts.
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.

Jaguars' Brenton Strange: Duval bound
Rotowire
The Jaguars selected Strange in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 61st overall.
Evan Engram is coming off a career year, but Jacksonville needed a tight end that offers more as a blocker and Strange can provide that to an extent. The Penn State product checks in at 6-foot-3 and 253 pounds with 4.7 speed and impressive leaping ability for a tight end. He caught 32 passes for 362 yards and five touchdowns as a senior and showed some natural ability in that regard that could translate to the next level. It may take time for him to find a fantasy-relevant role in Jacksonville, however.
