Fantasy Football Video: Will Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten take a step forward, break out in 2026?
The Jacksonville Jaguars may have the most crowded and confusing offense for fantasy football heading into 2026. We know the receiving corps goes four players deep and then there's TE Brenton Strange. Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2026 NFL season At running back, Travis Etienne Jr. bounced back under Liam Coen last season, but has left for the New Orleans Saints. That leaves second-year RB Bhayshul Tuten, veteran Chris Rodriguez Jr. and LeQuint Allen Jr. as the three backs left to duke it out for carries this season. Tuten showed a lot of promise as a rookie spelling Etienne, rushing 83 times for 307 yards and five TDs while adding 10 catches for 79 yards and two more scores. The consensus is that Tuten should lead the backfield. Matt Harmon and Justin Boone go deeper into the subject on the latest episode of the Yahoo Fantasy Forecast. Boone still believes that Tuten has a lot to prove and isn't the sure-fire RB1 for Jacksonville quite yet. But if we start to hear positive reports out of training camp on Tuten, that should raise his fantasy stock, per Boone. Plus, Rodriguez is dealing with an injury that may hold him out early in camp. If that lingers, it's even better for Tuten's prospects. All of that could lead to Tuten's ADP rising. As of now in early Yahoo drafts, Tuten's going off the board as the RB23. Boone has the Jags' back ranked just below that at RB24 in his July rankings update . The analyst says that ranking could change if Tuten's ADP continues to rise. Harmon wishes nothing but the best for Tuten but states that his price as the RB24 is perfect. Harmon doesn't want his stock to rise up to the RB18-19 range in which the value gets hurt a bit. For that reason, Harmon is still buying Tuten because he's a good breakout candidate for fantasy in 2026

2 All-Important Jaguars to Watch at 2026 Training Camp
2026 NFL training camps are about to kick off around the league, turning America’s attention back from fútbol to football. Travis and I will be out at the Miller Electric Center throughout the next few weeks to report back on your Jacksonville Jaguars. While he monitors several positional battles , I’ll be keeping an eye on two players in particular. Jacksonville’s skill player lineup for 11 personnel (1 RB, 1 TE, 3 WRs) looks impressive on paper. The starting receivers will be Brian Thomas Jr. , Parker Washington , and Jakobi Meyers ; the top tight end will be Brenton Strange ; and the lead running back role will rotate between Bhayshul Tuten , Chris Rodriguez Jr. , and LeQuint Allen Jr. The Jaguars are equipped for lighter packages as well. 10 personnel (1 RB, 0 TEs, 4 WRs) would allow Travis Hunter to play alongside those aforementioned wideouts, while 21 personnel (2 RBs, 1 TE, 2 WRs) — specifically, “pony” packages that field two receiving-capable backs as opposed to a tailback and a fullback — is another potential wrinkle to create schematic advantages. But what about when the offense wants to put heavier bodies on the field? Liam Coen could experiment with jumbo packages that add an extra offensive lineman to the equation, as he did on 108 snaps (sixth-most in the NFL) in his first year as Jaguars head coach. But that was more so a necessity than a luxury. About halfway through the 2025 season, Strange was placed on injured reserve, Hunter Long and Quintin Morris missed five combined games, and Johnny Mundt was at one point a healthy scratch. A lack of tight end availability gave way to more jumbo package opportunities. Plays with extra offensive linemen will still be part of Coen’s offense, but he’ll want to scale back those looks in favor of ones with multiple tight ends. The return of 12 personnel (1 RB, 2 TEs, 2 WRs) and 13 personnel (1 RB, 3 TEs, 1 WR) to a league ruled by three-receiver sets is perhaps the top schematic story of this offseason. Jacksonville re-signed Morris before selecting two tight ends, Nate Boerkircher and Tanner Koziol, in a draft that saw 22 tight ends in total go off the board (most since 2002). As a nearly-25-year-old prospect with just 38 career receptions, the selection of Boerkircher at No. 56 overall originally caught observers off guard. He’s an intriguing athlete, sure, but a near-top-50 selection? For someone who projects to be a No. 2 tight end? Really? Really. The Jags liked Morris enough to bring him back, and Long is still on the roster, but they’re hoping to see Boerkircher earn a Week 1 role as a complementary piece to Strange. During OTAs in June, Coen hinted toward a larger receiving workload for his top tight end so long as Boerkircher can hold up as a blocker. “As much as man, we love Brenton Strange blocking and he’s so tough, he wants to do it, he’s physical, he’ll bite you. He also missed some time last year … when you look at when he has production what our record looks like, it’s kind of interesting to see. And so, allowing Brenton to continue to do what he does well, but also to maybe take some of that wear and tear, some of the pounding that it takes when you’re blocking the Travon Walkers of the world and Josh Hines-Allens of the world, getting him matched up more on those linebackers and safeties and now he’s an advantage for us. Now we have an edge. So, we always feel good about Strange blocking at the point of attack, but we needed some help there. Being able to provide Strange an option to go maybe split out or go block other people that maybe keep him out of some of those one-on-one big situations, I think that’s going to help us tremendously.” I’m prepared to be underwhelmed by Boerkircher’s impact in the pass game for the duration of his rookie season. However, if he can hold his own in the trenches as early as training camp, I’ll feel much more comfortable about the flexibility of Coen’s offense entering the 2026 season. At the NFL’s annual l [... truncated ...]

What will Brock Bowers be worth when he’s extension eligible?
Brock Bowers, the Raiders' first-round pick, is set to become eligible for a contract extension next offseason. Given his franchise player status, the Raiders are expected to prioritize extending him. His potential future contract is likely to exceed current deals for tight ends like Kyle Pitts and Brendan Strange, and could approach or surpass the averages of top earners like George Kittle and Trey McBride, potentially reaching $20-22 million per season

Nate Boerkircher the Favorite for TE2 Duties in Jacksonville
Sports Illustrated's John Shipley writes that Jacksonville Jaguars rookie second-rounder Nate Boerkircher is the favorite to be the team's No. 2 tight end behind Brenton Strange in 2026. Boerkircher had only 38 catches for 417 yards and four touchdowns in five collegiate seasons with Nebraska and Texas A&M, but the Jags "have been extremely high on their rookie" and what he can do for the rest of the offense. The 6-foot-4, 220-pounder figures to make an impact immediately as a blocker, but they also think that he has untapped potential in the passing game. It won't be easy for Boerkircher, though, as he'll face competition from Quinton Morris and fellow rookie fifth-rounder Tanner Koziol. Koziol was "hands-down the most impressive tight end" not named Strange during offseason workouts. Depending on how the numbers shake out for the final 53-man roster, Hunter Long could be the odd-man out at the position. For Jacksonville's No. 2 TE role, blocking will be a point of emphasis, and Boerkircher definitely has the upper hand there over Koziol, whose blocking was a serious question mark in college

Jaguars lock up Brenton Strange to three-year, $48 million extension
Brenton Strange is staying in Jacksonville for the long haul. The Jaguars and the tight end agreed to a three-year, $48 million extension Wednesday with up to $25 million guaranteed, NFL Network reported Wednesday. The extension keeps Strange in Jacksonville until at least 2029, as the 25-year-old was entering the final year of his rookie contract. Strange’s contract ranks fifth among tight ends in average annual value ($16 million) and eighth in total money. After playing for Penn State from 2019-22 and hauling in 11 touchdowns over four years, the Jaguars selected Strange 61st overall in 2023 to support quarterback Trevor Lawrence . Strange was buried behind Evan Engram on the Jaguars’ depth chart as a rookie, making just five catches for 35 yards despite appearing in 14 games. But with Engram playing just nine games in 2024 amid a disastrous 4-13 Jaguars season, Strange played in all 17 games and had 40 catches, 411 receiving yards and two touchdowns. The Penn State product took his game to a new level in 2025, setting career highs in catches (46), receiving yards (540) and touchdowns (three). Strange’s progression last year was a major factor in how the Jaguars increased their win total by nine games to 13-4 en route to an AFC South title. When Strange was healthy for 12 games last season, the Jaguars went 11-1 and averaged 30.1 points. When he was sidelined for five contests, they went 2-3 and put up just 22.6 points per game. Strange should continue to play a key role in Liam Coen’s offense in 2026, even with the team taking another tight end in Nate Boerkircher early in the draft. The Jaguars open their 2026 season at home against the Browns on Sept. 13

The gap in the tight end market is starting to fill: What it means for Tucker Kraft
Prior to Tuesday, there were no tight ends in the NFL who were on multi-year contracts that averaged between $19 million per year and $13.3 million per year. As you can imagine, that was a pretty significant gap in the market for teams, players and representation to operate in. Then, Kyle Pitts signed a three-year, $54 million contract ($18 million per year), and now Brenton Strange has signed a three-year, $48 million ($16 million per year) deal . Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft , who was having a career year before he tore his ACL in 2025, was always probably going to get money in the George Kittle ($19.1 million per) or Trey McBride ($19 million per) range, but the recent extensions of Pitts and Strange have certainly set a floor for his market. For perspective, Isaiah Likely , who was only a part-time player with the Baltimore Ravens , signed a $13.3 million per year deal with the New York Giants , where former Ravens coach John Harbaugh is now running the show, this free agency cycle. For years, the tight end market has lagged behind other positions in terms of wage increases, but the position is finally starting to see some movement. On the Packers’ end, there probably isn’t any huge reason for urgency to get a Kraft deal done in the immediate future, as the only other major tight end left on an expiring contract going into 2026 is the Detroit Lions ’ Sam LaPorta . Unless LaPorta signs a deal that significantly resets the tight end market before the Packers can ink a contract with Kraft, timing shouldn’t be a big deal, as long as they get a contract done with the tight end before the season ends. Over the long haul, players’ wages increase at every position in the NFL. It’s just worth noting that this week, specifically, has been a period in which the arrowing is trending upward for tight ends. We should also mention that the Packers tend to sign young starters to four-year extensions, compared to the three-year deals that Pitts and Strange have signed, and generally give low guarantees (usually just a bigger signing bonus and the first year’s salary) on their contract, so don’t be surprised if Kraft’s extension eventually ends up having a high APY over four years with relatively low guarantees compared to some of these deals

Strange and the Jaguars have agreed to a three-year contract extension, according to Strange’s agents. Strange, a second-round draft pick in 2023, had one year remaining on his rookie deal.

Strange agreed to terms Wednesday on a three-year extension with the Jaguars, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Strange's new contract with Jacksonville is reportedly worth up to $48 million, with $25 million guaranteed. The 26-year-old tight end is not only a capable pass catcher, but he's established himself as one of the league's best blocking TEs since joining the Jaguars in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft. Strange has spent spring practices lining up in multiple roles and seemingly building up for an expanded role in head coach Liam Coen's offense, which added a pair of rookie tight ends in the 2026 NFL Draft in Nate Boerkircher (second round) and Tanner Koziol (fifth round)
