Brenton Strange News
Monday, August 24, 9:37 AM
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange still has a secure job, but the fantasy case is not quite as clean as it looked a few months ago. Strange caught 46 passes for 540 yards and three touchdowns in 12 games last season, then Jacksonville gave him a three-year extension in June. The Jaguars also spent the 56th overall pick on Nate Boerkircher, and their passing game is crowded with Brian Thomas Jr., Jakobi Meyers, Travis Hunter and Parker Washington. Strange has continued to make plays in camp, including a red-zone touchdown from Trevor Lawrence during the August 19 joint practice with Carolina. Boerkircher scored in the same red-zone period, though, and Jacksonville has talked about using more two- and three-tight-end looks. That should keep Strange involved, but it also makes another big jump in targets tougher to project. RotoBaller has him at TE17 and 146th overall in PPR. Strange is still draftable as a TE2, but the number of mouths to feed makes him harder to trust as a weekly breakout bet.

Colston Loveland News
Saturday, August 22, 11:49 PM
Chicago Bears tight end Colston Loveland reeled in one of three targets for a gain of ten yards in Saturday's 27-9 preseason loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. The former Michigan Wolverine connected with quarterback Caleb Williams in the flat on Chicago's fifth play from scrimmage and turned upfield for a nice gain. That was the last time the duo would sync up, however, as Williams narrowly missed Loveland for a touchdown up the seam and had a pass batted down a play later. Misfires aside, it was a promising debut for the 22-year-old. More so, it's hopefully foreshadowing for the season ahead. Loveland is slated to be peppered with looks in 2026 - something he'll require to support his lofty price tag of the TE3 in ADP. Chicago will get the Tennessee Titans on the road for their preseason finale next Saturday, although it seems unlikely we'll see the second-year pro on the field for that contest.
