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 worth a look as a flex option in DFS.
