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.
Jaguars OC Grant Udinski believes WR Parker Washington is capable of "even more" than he did at the end of last season. Washington averaged 4.8 catches, 74.7 yards, and 0.5 TDs over his final 10 games last year, including 114 yards and 0.75 TDs over his final 4.
Jaguars GM James Gladstone said he expects Travis Hunter to play both offense and defense again this season, and that the team is “absolutely not” done using him as a two-way player. He added that Hunter’s CB percentage and defensive snap count should rise. Hunter played 324 snaps at WR and 162 at CB last season, which matches the earlier reports pointing to a bigger defensive role. Gladstone did not call Hunter a “full-time” CB, but it sounds like those snap counts could be much closer to even in 2026.
ESPN's Michael DiRocco writes that the Jaguars and WR Brian Thomas Jr. expect the third-year wideout to rebound from a rough second season. Thomas navigated early-season struggles, a new offense, a mid-year high-ankle sprain, and a late-season role shift while delivering numbers well short of his standout rookie campaign.
NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe reports that the Jaguars plan to play Travis Hunter full time at CB in 2026 and just part time at WR. CBs Montaric Brown and Greg Newsome are set to hit unrestricted free agency, and Wolfe says the team is expected to let at least one of them walk to open a starting spot for Hunter.
Jaguars WR Parker Washington racked up 6 catches for 145 yards and a TD in Sunday's decisive win over the Broncos. He led the team in catches, yards, and targets (10) despite ranking just fourth in pass routes. Washington's 70.5% route rate trailed WR Jakobi Meyers (95.5%), WR Brian Thomas Jr. (84.1%), and TE Brenton Strange (72.7%).
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.
