BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-end TE1
ANALYSIS: Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange was a late addition to the starting lineup last weekend as Evan Engram (hamstring) was scratched during warmups. Strange will once again serve as the No. 1 tight end for Jacksonville on Monday evening and is worth starting as a low-end TE1 in deeper formats.
Last weekend, the 23-year-old caught three of his six targets for 65 yards. He was targeted on 27.3% of his routes and posted an impressive aDOT of 15.3 yards.
While the sample size was small, it was promising to see the young tight end look comfortable in a starting role.
Without Evan Engram, Brenton Strange ranked 11th in target share on 3rd/4th downs in Week 2. Strange tied with Gabe Davis for the team-high 23.3% target share overall.

This evening, he will face the high-powered Bills who enter as 5.5 point favorites. As a result, the Jaguars may need to play catch-up at times which could force Trevor Lawrence to look Strange's way.
Strange is a viable TE1 in deeper leagues and is worth a look as a flex option in DFS.
