Strange caught all four of his targets for 60 yards in Sunday's 26-23 overtime loss to the Colts. It was a nice bounce-back effort from the second-year tight end, who failed to catch his only target in Week 17 against the Titans. 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. Engram is expected to be fully healthy to begin Jacksonville's offseason program and has one more year remaining on his current contract, which will likely relegate Strange to a backup role again to begin 2025.

Strange caught all four of his targets for 60 yards in Sunday's 26-23 overtime loss to the Colts. It was a nice bounce-back effort from the second-year tight end, who failed to catch his only target in Week 17 against the Titans. 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. Engram is expected to be fully healthy to begin Jacksonville's offseason program and has one more year remaining on his current contract, which will likely relegate Strange to a backup role again to begin 2025.
Strange (shoulder) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Titans after practicing fully Friday, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports. Strange was deemed limited on practice reports Wednesday and Thursday, but the tight end's full session Friday paves the way for him to suit up versus Tennessee. With Evan Engram (shoulder) on IR, Strange is in line to remain a key target for QB Mac Jones over his team's last two games this season. After racking up 11 catches for 73 yards on 12 targets in Week 15 against the Jets, Strange turned in a 2-22-0 effort on four targets in a 19-14 loss to the Raiders last weekend. In his current key role in the Jaguars offense, he merits consideration in Week 17 fantasy lineups.
Strange (shoulder) was limited at practice Thursday. Strange, who was also listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's practice report, has been managing a shoulder issue, but he could approach Sunday's game against the Titans without an injury designation, as he did ahead of Week 16 action despite being limited in practice Wednesday through Friday. Strange, who racked up 11 catches for 73 yards on 12 targets in Week 15 versus the Jets, is coming off a 2-22-0 effort on four targets in the Jaguars' 19-14 loss to the Raiders this past weekend.
Strange (shoulder) was listed as limited on Wednesday's practice report. Strange was limited ahead of Week 16 action, but didn't end up having a designation for the Jaguars' ensuing loss to the Raiders. Chances are, the tight end's listed limitations Wednesday were maintenance-related, with added context regarding Strange's status for Sunday's game against the Titans set to arrive via Thursday's injury report.
Strange recorded two receptions on four targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 19-14 loss to the Raiders. Strange failed to carry momentum over from a 12-target performance in Week 15, as he returned to minimal involvement in the Jacksonville offense despite Mac Jones taking to the air 39 times. While his potential for production has increased since Evan Engram (shoulder) has been sidelined, Brian Thomas remains the focal point of the offense while Parker Washington has also seen consistent targets in recent weeks. That leaves Strange as the projected third option in a poor passing offense, limiting his fantasy appeal.
Strange (shoulder) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Raiders. Strange was limited in practice all week but is good to go for Week 16. With Evan Engram (shoulder) done for the season, Strange sits atop the depth chart at tight end and is coming off an 11-73-0 line on 12 targets and 82 percent of the offensive snaps last week against the Jets. Strange has consistently produced useful fantasy box scores when Engram has missed games this season, and he gets a juicy matchup Sunday versus Las Vegas.
Strange (shoulder) remained limited at practice Thursday. Per Juston Lewis of the Florida Times-Union, Strange, who also was limited Wednesday, sustained an AC joint sprain in last week's loss to the Jets. However, head coach Doug Pederson indicated that the tight end should be good to go Sunday against the Raiders after logging 11 catches for 73 yards on 12 targets versus New York this past Sunday. Friday's final injury report will reveal whether Strange heads into the weekend with an injury designation or cleared for Week 16 action.
Strange was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a shoulder injury. According to Demetrius Harvey of the Florida Times-Union, head coach Doug Pederson said that Strange sustained an AC joint sprain in last week's 32-25 loss to the Jets. Fortunately for Strange, Pederson said that Strange will be fine to play in Sunday's game at Las Vegas, but he may need to upgrade to full practice participation by Friday to avoid taking a designation into the weekend. After Evan Engram (shoulder) placed on injured reserve last week, Strange stepped in as the Jaguars' top tight end in the loss to New York and turned some heads by recording 11 catches for 73 yards on 12 targets. Strange could struggle to reach that lofty target count again in Week 16, but he should nonetheless represent one of the top options in the passing game for quarterback Mac Jones.
Strange caught 11 of 12 targets for 73 yards in Sunday's 32-25 loss to the Jets. 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.
