The Jaguars have agreed to a three-year extension with TE Brenton Strange with a max value of $48 million and $25 million in guarantees, NFL Network reports. That’s the fifth-most guaranteed money on a TE contract in the league right now. The $16 million a year at max value would also rank fifth-highest. (We’ll see about the base numbers.)

It was a little surprising when the Jaguars drafted Texas A&M TE Nate Boerkircher. It was the team’s first pick, after Jacksonville traded its first-rounder to move up for Travis Hunter in 2025, and Boerkircher totaled just 38 receptions across five college seasons (four at Nebraska, one at A&M). But the degree to which Jags leadership got excited about the selection might give us some hints at the team’s offensive plans for 2026 and beyond … and they could impact the fantasy outlook for your favorite Jacksonville receiver.

The Jacksonville Jaguars selected Houston TE Tanner Koziol in Round 5 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Koziol was one of the most productive TEs in college football over the past two seasons. In fact, his 168 receptions were tops among all FBS players. Koziol posted a 94-839-8 line at Ball State in 2024, leading the team in all three categories. He took a step up in competition at Houston last year and pumped out 74 catches for 727 yards and 6 TDs. Koziol’s 27.7% dominator rating (share of team’s receiving yards + TDs) led the top 27 TEs in this year’s class. His 2.26 yards per route ranked second to only Eli Stowers. Koziol didn’t do much work downfield in college, with a career 8.1-yard average target depth. But he caught over 70% of his targets and scored on 10% of his receptions. Koziol checked in at 6’7, 247 pounds at the Combine and earned a 9.58 Relative Athletic Score. He checks a ton of boxes and is one of our favorite sleepers in this TE class.

The Jaguars selected Texas A&M TE Nate Boerkircher in Round 2 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Boerkircher spent four years at Nebraska with just 19 total catches before transferring in 2025. He started every game at Texas A&M and showed well as both a blocker and receiver. But the usage and efficiency raise concerns for fantasy. Among 27 Combine-invited TEs, he ranked 19th in aDOT (6.6), last in team receiving yardage share (7.9%), last in receiving yards per team pass attempt (0.69), and 26th in yards per route run (1.12). He enters the league as an older prospect, at 24.

Jaguars WR Parker Washington (hip) is active for today’s game vs. the Jets. He’d be a desperation fantasy start but does add some target competition for WRs Jakobi Meyers and Brian Thomas Jr. and TE Brenton Strange.

Jaguars WR Parker Washington (hip) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Jets. He practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday, so we’re expecting him to play. Washington isn’t much of a fantasy option but does add some target competition for WRs Jakobi Meyers and Brian Thomas Jr. and TE Brenton Strange.

Jaguars WR Parker Washington (hip) was limited in Wednesday's practice. We're tentatively expecting him back for this weekend's game vs. the Jets but will keep tabs on his status over the next few days. Washington isn't much of a Week 15 fantasy option but would add some target competition for WRs Jakobi Meyers and Brian Thomas Jr. and TE Brenton Strange.

Jaguars WR Parker Washington (hip) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Colts. That leaves Jakobi Meyers and Brian Thomas Jr. as the clear top two WRs. TE Brenton Strange also gets a slight boost with Washington out.

Jaguars WR Parker Washington (hip) won't play vs. the Colts today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. That's not a surprise after Washington got in just one limited practice this week. We've had him projected out all week, so there are no changes to the Week 14 rankings. WRs Jakobi Meyers and Brian Thomas and TE Brenton Strange get target projection boosts with Washington out.

Jaguars WR Parker Washington (hip) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Colts. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. Washington would be a tough fantasy start at less than 100%. His absence would leave behind a few extra targets for WRs Jakobi Meyers and Brian Thomas Jr. and TE Brenton Strange.

Jaguars WR Parker Washington (hip) did not practice on Wednesday. We still don't have any details on this hip injury, but Washington isn't looking like a good bet to play vs. the Colts this weekend. His absence would leave Jakobi Meyers, Brian Thomas, and Brenton Strange as the clear top three targets in the passing game.

Jaguars TE Brenton Strange (hip) is active for today’s game vs. the Cardinals. He ranked 11th among TEs in expected PPR points per game and 16th in actual points per game over the first four weeks of the season. But Strange would be a risky fantasy start today in his first action since Week 5.

The Jaguars activated TE Brenton Strange (hip) from IR, setting him up to play vs. the Cardinals tomorrow. Strange has been out since Week 5. He was off to a nice start before that, averaging 5.8 targets, 4.8 catches, and 45.5 yards over the first four weeks. Strange ranked 11th among TEs in expected PPR points per game and 16th in actual points per game during that stretch. We'd try not to use him in Week 12 fantasy lineups, but Strange could quickly re-emerge as a lower-end TE1.

Jaguars TE Brenton Strange (hip) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Cardinals. We’ll see if he’s activated from IR ahead of Saturday’s 4 pm ET deadline, but we’d try not to trust Strange in fantasy lineups in his first action since Week 5.

Jaguars TE Brenton Strange (hip) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Chargers. He returned to practice this week for the first time since going down back in Week 5 but isn't ready for game action yet. We'll see if Strange is cleared for Week 12. He's a worthwhile stash in deeper fantasy leagues.
