Who Should I Start? Evan Engram or Brenton Strange

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brenton Strange continues to rise in the latest dynasty fantasy football rankings. Between his own talent and the Jaguars' impressive offense, Strange has the potential to be a heavily-targeted option in the passing game with plenty of yards and touchdowns coming his way. We saw a glimpse of that in 2025, as he averaged 3.8 catches and 45 yards per game. However, he also missed five weeks due to injury, limiting his ceiling over the course of the season. He finished as the overall TE23, which is probably his floor in 2026. On the other hand, he has top-12 upside while catching passes from Trevor Lawrence, especially given how highly the Jaguars think of him. This past weekend, John Shipley of Jaguars On SI reported that the Jaguars believe Strange could be the most underrated tight end in football and "know just how important he is to everything they do." That's an encouraging sign that he'll get even more involved next year. These comments from Shipley were followed by a report that the Jaguars might look to draft a tight end to pair with Strange. That sounds concerning at first, but we don't think dynasty managers should panic. Strange remains the No. 1 tight end in Jacksonville, and the Jaguars don't have the 2026 draft capital to select someone who would immediately steal a big portion of his volume. As it stands, Strange is a top-18 fantasy tight end for 2026, and he has clear top-10 upside.
