Brenton Strange Leads Jags in Catches for Second Straight Outing

Monday, September 29, 12:09 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange pulled in 6-of-7 passes for 45 yards in his team's 26-21 win over the hosting San Francisco 49ers. Strange has been a reliable target as quarterback Trevor Lawrence has at the moment, recording exactly six receptions and seven targets in each of the previous two weeks. The 24-year-old's receiving output leaves us wanting more, but he's easily pacing Jacksonville's TE room in snaps -- accruing 129 more than the next closest teammate. Moreover, he's leading the Jags in receptions (19) and yards (182). Strange and the team will get a true test next Monday night when they square off against the Kansas City Chiefs at home. For now, he's a high-end TE2 with PPR upside..

Xavier Legette News

Xavier Legette has Shaky Value

Friday, October 3, 6:34 PM

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette (hamstring) is back in action for the Week 5 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. Legette will return this weekend after a two-game absence due to a hamstring injury. The targets have been there for Legette, but the 24-year-old has been unable to make an impact. Through two games, Legette has hauled in four of his 15 targets for eight yards this season. The Panthers offense isn't having much success right now. Legette clearly needs to build more chemistry with quarterback Bryce Young. Legette is worth a stash in certain formats, but isn't worth a start for Week 5.
