The Jacksonville Jaguars will visit the Indianapolis Colts in Week 17. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding TE Brenton Strange.
Is Brenton Strange Playing in Week 17?
Strange is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.

Should You Start or Sit Strange in Week 17?
I’m not here to sell you on Brenton Strange being the savior of the TE position in this, the final week of most leagues, but since returning in Week 12, he’s running 26.4 routes per game and seeing an average of five balls thrown his way for a red-hot passing attack that is simply taking what the defense is giving them.
That meant big games for him and Parker Washington last week in Denver, and while that could flip at a moment’s notice, I kind of think that the Broncos executed their plan.
Keep an eye on Jakobi Meyers/Brian Thomas Jr. and let the chips fall where they may otherwise.
Simply being on the field with this level of regularity is deserving of our attention, nevermind the 9.4-yard aDOT across those post-injury games that is fueling some upside (he had a 23-yard catch in the second quarter to set up his three-yard score).
He’s assured of nothing, but he’s attached to a profitable offense and playing an iffy defense that is on a short week: that’ll work!
