The Jacksonville Jaguars will face the Indianapolis Colts in Week 18. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding TE Brenton Strange.
Is Brenton Strange Playing in Week 18?
Strange is not listed on the injury report this week, so barring any setbacks, he is on track to play this weekend.
We’ll continue to monitor the Jaguars’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Brenton Strange in Week 18?
Strange is filling in for Evan Engram, but he’s not Engram, and Mac Jones isn’t Trevor Lawrence. The playing time is there (70% snap share in two of his past three games), but the floor that comes with a role that can see Strange earn one target on 19 Jones passes is something I have zero interest in gambling on.
The Jags have failed to clear 20 points in six of their past seven games. We have no assurance that a single Jacksonville pass catcher proves worthy of our trust, let alone a tight end with limitations.
