Brenton Strange vs. Browns — Starting Role Offers Streaming Appeal

Strange enters the season opener healthy as Jacksonville's lead tight end ahead of Nate Boerkircher. While earlier this offseason coaching praised his expanding pass-catching role, he faces target competition alongside wideouts Brian Thomas Jr. and Jakobi Meyers in a matchup where the Jaguars are heavily favored.

Rostered in roughly 35% of leagues and started in just 7%, Strange is best viewed as a streaming candidate in deeper leagues. Our weekly projection anticipates about 3 to 4 catches on roughly 5 targets for 37 yards, providing a workable floor that needs a touchdown for ceiling upside.

Outlook A.J. Brown

A.J. Brown Set for Immediate Target Share in Patriots Debut

Brown makes his Patriots debut healthy and locked into the primary receiver role for quarterback Drake Maye. Reunited with head coach Mike Vrabel, Brown tops the depth chart over Romeo Doubs and DeMario Douglas. Facing Seattle on the road, New England will count on Brown's physical perimeter play to set the tone against a hostile crowd at Lumen Field.

Rostered and started in 100% of fantasy leagues, Brown is an undeniable must-start. Our projections forecast roughly 5 receptions on 8 targets for 68 yards and 16.2 fantasy points. Fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats, as Maye's deep-ball aggression gives Brown clear WR1 upside.
