Brian Thomas puts Jaguars up 7-0 over Colts
Jaguars head coach Liam Coen said he had confidence that wide receiver Brian Thomas would help the team make plays against the Colts in Week 8 and he was proven right in the first quarter. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence punctuated the team’s opening drive with a 12-yard pass to Thomas in the end zone. The score put the Jaguars up 7-0 with nearly 10 minutes off the clock in Jacksonville. Thomas had no catches in Jacksonville’s last two games and he was benched in the second half of Week 6. The Jaguars moved 98 yards on the scoring drive as the Colts pinned them deep after a punt on their opening possession. Lawrence hooked up with tight end Brenton Strange for 46 yards on the biggest play of the drive. The Jags did lose safety Eric Murray to an elbow injury. He’s called questionable to return

Jakobi Meyers limited in Jaguars practice, Antonio Johnson out
The Jaguars are coming off a bye week and their return to practice featured a few limited participants. The group included wide receiver Jakobi Meyers, who is dealing with a hamstring injury but has not missed any game action this season. Meyers has 20 catches for 285 yards and two touchdowns. Safety Antonio Johnson has not missed any games either, but he appears to be likelier to miss this week than Meyers. Johnson did not practice on Wednesday due to an akle injury. Long snapper Ross Matiscik (shoulder), defensive lineman Ruhe Orhorhoro (ankle), and linebacker Jahlani Tavai (hamstring) joined Meyers as limited participants. Cornerback Montaric Brown (hamstring) was a full participant after missing the team’s two London games and tight end Brenton Strange (eye) also landed in that category

Mark Andrews a TE2 With Upside in Week 7
Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews is expected to play in Week 7 against the Cincinnati Bengals and could see increased volume due to matchups. Despite a quiet season, a favorable matchup against a Bengals defense that struggles with tight ends, coupled with a potential Lamar Jackson return and defensive focus on Zay Flowers, presents Andrews as a boom-or-bust option with upside

Brenton Strange - Five catches in loss
sleeper-rotowire+13 stories · 30dSource unavailable
Strange caught five of seven targets for 44 yards during Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Texans. Strange finished tied for the team lead in catches with wide receiver Jakobi Meyers, while his seven targets were third behind Meyers (10) and Parker Washington (11). The tight end has now reeled in at least five passes in three straight contests, compiling 207 receiving yards on 19 catches in those games. The Jaguars are off in Week 7, so his next chance to continue his momentum will come Nov. 1 against the Colts

Brenton Strange a Good Bet for Week 6 and Beyond?
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange has commanded a vastly superior target share over his past two appearances, making him an appealing streaming candidate ahead of a divisional bout with the Houston Texans. Strange began the campaign with seven receptions on ten targets (72 yards) through the first three games and was officially off the radar for fantasy. However, a combined 14/163 line on back-to-back eight-target outings is enough to raise an eyebrow. Furthermore, the Penn State product leads all Jaguars pass catchers over that stretch in each major receiving category, excluding touchdowns. It's an intriguing development for Strange, and he's aided by a matchup against a Houston defense that has yet to put it all together in 2026. Fantasy managers on the search for assistance at tight end can turn to the 25-year-old this Sunday, and if he posts another similar outing to his previous two, he could be worth holding through the team's Week 7 bye

Liam Coen: I can do more to avoid delay of game penalties
The Jaguars were able to take advantage of the Eagles’ poor clock management to pull out a win at the end of last Sunday’s game in London, but their own miscues cost them a chance to take firmer control of the game earlier in the fourth quarter. A Trevor Lawrence pass to tight end Brenton Strange landed the Jaguars at the Eagles’ 1-yard-line with under nine minutes to play, but they burned a timeout before getting the next snap off. After a false start and a short run, the Jaguars sandwiched a pair of delay of game penalties around an incompletion and ultimately failed on fourth down to end the drive without any points. The Jags had another delay of game in the first quarter and head coach Liam Coen said on Wednesday that the penalties were “directly on me.” He also explained how he can do more to make sure that the Jaguars don’t continue to struggle with getting plays off in time. “That was probably one of the louder atmospheres I’ve been in a while,” Coen said, via Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com. “Especially in those critical moments to where, ‘Hey guys, I can help you out with my playcall.’ Maybe shorten it up, trim the verbiage or call something a little bit more simplified down there where it was in that end zone specifically that got loud and some of those critical downs.” The Jaguars had 13 penalties overall against the Eagles and they had 13 more against the Bengals in Week 4. They won that game as well, but the lack of discipline is something that is likely to catch up with them if Coen can’t clean up the operation in the coming weeks

Brenton Strange - Another strong showing in Week 5
sleeper-rotowire+13 stories · 30dSource unavailable
Strange caught seven of eight targets for 68 yards in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Eagles. After breaking out for a 7-95-0 line last week, Strange tied that season high in catches, although for less yardage. The tight end is re-establishing himself as Trevor Lawrence's preferred safety valve, which should assure him a solid floor for volume. Strange will take a 21-235-1 line on 26 targets through five games into a Week 6 clash with the Texans

Brenton Strange Has Earned a Look in 12-Team Leagues
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange put himself squarely on the waiver radar with his best game of the season Sunday. He caught seven of eight targets for 95 yards in the win over Cincinnati after entering Week 4 with seven catches for 72 yards through three games. The eight targets were a season high, and Trevor Lawrence leaned on him several times in important spots. Strange now has 14 catches for 167 yards and one touchdown on 18 targets. The breakout is worth chasing in 12-team leagues, where RotoBaller currently has him second among tight end waiver options. The caution is that Jacksonville has several mouths to feed, and Strange is still better viewed as a matchup-based TE2 than an automatic weekly starter. Philadelphia is also a tougher Week 5 draw. Managers who need tight end help should add Strange, but there is no need to treat one big afternoon as a permanent jump into the TE1 tier

Brenton Strange leads team in receiving Sunday
Brenton Strange hauled in 7-of-8 targets for 95 yards in Sunday's 22-17 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. The veteran tight end stepped up on Sunday. He finished as the team's top receiver with 95 yards against the Bengals, which was very timely on an afternoon where most of their receiving options were struggling. He had a good fantasy total in this game, but managers shouldn't expect this to be a regular thing for him moving forward

Brenton Strange - Pops off for 95 yards in win
sleeper-rotowire+13 stories · 30dSource unavailable
Strange caught seven of eight targets for 95 yards in Sunday's 22-17 win over the Bengals. Cincinnati annually plays bad defense against opposing tight ends, and Strange was able to take advantage of the clean matchup by leading the team in targets, catches and receiving yards Sunday. An every-down tight end in Jacksonville's potent offense, he's a weekly fringe TE1/2 headed into next Sunday's game against the Eagles. On the season, Strange has 14 catches for 167 yards and one touchdown on 18 targets
