Brayden Willis is Elevated Ahead of Week 17

Saturday, December 27, 6:41 PM

San Francisco 49ers tight end Brayden Willis has been elevated from the practice squad ahead of the Week 17 matchup against the Chicago Bears. The elevation of Willis is not a good sign for fellow tight end George Kittle (ankle), who is questionable for this contest. The fact that Willis was brought up means Kittle is most likely going to miss this weekend's game. If Kittle sits, Jake Tonges figures to operate as the primary tight end in this offense. Tonges posted some decent performances earlier in the season when Kittle was sidelined. He could offer some streaming appeal to tight-end-needy fantasy managers, assuming Kittle is unable to play.

Brenton Strange's Targets Dry Up Ahead of Week 10

Thursday, November 12, 6:22 AM

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange played 44 of 56 offensive snaps against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 9, but Trevor Lawrence looked his way just twice on 26 pass attempts. Four days earlier, he saw two targets on 28 snaps against the Indianapolis Colts, when Lawrence threw only 14 passes in a blowout. A 46-yard catch accounted for most of Strange's 55 yards against Indianapolis, and he finished with 22 yards on two receptions in Baltimore. Strange is a fringe starter in 12-team PPR leagues for Sunday's visit to the Tennessee Titans. Before Jacksonville's bye, Strange drew seven targets against the Houston Texans and eight apiece against the Cincinnati Bengals and Philadelphia Eagles. He caught 14 of 16 targets for 163 yards in those two games. All four of Strange's targets since the bye came outside the red zone. Nate Boerkircher drew three targets on 31 snaps in Baltimore and caught a 52-yard pass on Jacksonville's opening drive. Lawrence also looked for Boerkircher from the one-yard line on that drive, four days after the rookie caught a 31-yard touchdown against Indianapolis.
