Noah Gray to See Similar Usage to 2025 Season

Thursday, August 20, 7:31 PM

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Noah Gray could see a workload similar to what he had in 2025. Gray had a down year in 2025, hauling in just 21 of 37 targets for 178 yards and no touchdowns in 16 games. Despite playing over 50% of the snaps in each of the last four seasons, Gray didn't match the impact he had during the first three years of his NFL career. With Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy, and third-string tight end Jared Wiley all back and healthy, Gray may have a tough time being fantasy relevant this season. Even if future Hall-of-Fame tight end Travis Kelce suffers an injury that costs him playing time, Gray still doesn't offer enough upside to be a starting player on fantasy rosters in 2026.

Brenton Strange an Intriguing TE2 Option in Favorable Week 4 Matchup

Saturday, October 3, 12:40 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange has gotten off to a quiet start to the 2026 season, recording seven catches for 72 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets across three games. The Jaguars' talented wide receiver corps makes it difficult for Strange to see consistent target volume. However, the 25-year-old is coming off a season-high five targets in his team's Week 3 win over the New England Patriots. Strange could be poised for his best game of the season in Week 4 against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals' defense has struggled to defend the pass so far this season, ranking 29th in the NFL in passing yards allowed (863) through three weeks. Cincinnati's potent offense could also turn this game into a track meet and force the Jaguars into a pass-heavy game script. Strange's lack of target volume so far makes him hard to rely on, but he profiles as an intriguing TE2 option for fantasy managers in Week 4.
