# Brenton Strange NFL player. Position: **TE**. Team: **JAC**. ## Quick Facts - **Position:** TE - **Team:** JAC (Jacksonville Jaguars) - **Bye week (2026):** 7 - **FantasyPros PPR rank (pulled 2026-05-21):** 141 ## 2026 Outlook Strange's receiving yards per game more than doubled from 2024 (24.2) to 2025 (45.0), showing improvement every season since entering the league in 2023. The Jaguars rewarded his breakout with a 3-year extension worth up to $48M ($25M guaranteed) in June 2026, signaling long-term confidence in his role as Trevor Lawrence's primary tight end target. With the contract secured, Strange can focus on development in his third year in Liam Coen's system. An exponential leap in production remains possible, though he remains mid-tier in TE draft value (per 2026 NFL Preview: Which 10 Contract-Year Players Are Most Likely To Breakout?) and now a locked-in starter (per Jaguars TE Brenton Strange 3-year extension). Under Coen's refined system in 2026, the team environment feels "less chaotic" than 2025, with better mental comfort from key players like Trevor Lawrence. Strange has been used in multiple position configurations during offseason work and remains the focal point of the passing attack. Considered a legitimate sleeper TE1 candidate headed into draft season (per 4 Fantasy Football Sneaky TE1 Contenders: Tight End Sleepers to Target (2026) - RotoBaller). Coming into training camp 2026, Strange occupies one of three guaranteed tight end spots on the Jaguars' 53-man roster, with Nate Boerkircher and Tanner Koziol competing for the other two positions. (per Jaguars training camp battles: Evaluating back end of tight end depth chart) **2025 season performance detail:** In just 12 games (started strong with 19 rec / 182 yards over the first four games), Strange suffered a hip injury in a Week 5 win over Kansas City and was placed on IR, missing five consecutive games. Upon return in Week 12, he immediately resumed his production with 5 rec / 93 yards in an OT win over Arizona. He finished with 46 rec / 540 yards / 3 TDs, ranking third on the team in receptions. All three TDs came in the final six games, suggesting full health as the season progressed. Jacksonville went 13-4 overall and averaged 30.1 points per game in the 11 contests Strange played. (per Jaguars, TE Brenton Strange reportedly agree to 3-year extension worth up to $48 million) ## Role / Depth Chart Starting TE for Jacksonville. Nate Boerkircher (2026 first-rounder, pick 56) is positioned as the #2 TE and will contribute heavily to Jacksonville's expanded 12 and 13 personnel (multi-TE packages) under Liam Coen. Strange remains the clear primary tight end and focal point of the passing attack, while Boerkircher will earn significant snaps as a blocker in the running game and occasional pass-catcher. The Jaguars do not need Boerkircher to put up eye-popping numbers to provide value—his role unlocks Jacksonville's offensive versatility (per 5 Most Important Backups on Jaguars' Roster: Caleb Ransaw's Value is Clear). ## Recent News - 2026-07-07 — Penn State in the NFL: Micah Parsons injury update, Brenton Strange's big new deal,...
