Brenton Strange News
Wednesday, June 24, 11:11 AM
The Jacksonville Jaguars and standout tight end Brenton Strange agreed to a three-year contract extension on Wednesday worth up to $48 million with $25 million guaranteed, sources told Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. In 12 games last season, the Penn State product caught 46 passes for 540 yards and three touchdowns, and he has become a key part of quarterback Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars' offensive scheme. The 25-year-old was taken in the second round (61st overall) in the 2023 NFL draft, and he has caught 91 of his 122 targets for 986 yards and six touchdowns in 43 regular-season games (26 starts) in his three years in the league. Strange has improved a bit each year in terms of production, and even though the Jags added two rookie TEs in this year's draft, he's expected to be the unquestioned No. 1 pass-catching option at the position again in 2026. With the Jaguars potentially taking another step forward in head coach Liam Coen's offense in Year 2, Strange will be an intriguing TE2 with upside in fantasy drafts this fall. RotoBaller currently has him ranked as the No. 19 fantasy TE.

Brock Bowers News
Wednesday, July 1, 7:40 PM
Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers had a record-setting rookie year with 112 catches, 1,194 yards, and five touchdowns with quarterbacks Gardner Minshew and Aidan O'Connell throwing him the football. Last year was a disappointment, though, with Geno Smith running the offense and Bowers missing time with injuries. However, his catch rate stayed steady at 74% in both of his seasons, and his yards per reception went from only 10.7 to 10.6. The former 13th overall pick out of the University of Georgia was targeted slightly less last year, but with new head coach Klint Kubiak coming to town, Bowers' target rate should rise in Year 3. ESPN's Ben Solak suggests that Bowers will be a candidate to win Offensive Player of the Year. A TE has never won the award in NFL history, with Travis Kelce coming the closest in 2020. Not only does Bowers have elite pass-catching talent at the position with a bigger role in the offense expected in 2026, but the QB play in Vegas should be better between veteran Kirk Cousins and rookie Fernando Mendoza. There's a reason RotoBaller has Bowers ranked as the top fantasy TE for the upcoming season, even after a disappointing sophomore showing.
