One Jacksonville Jaguars player was named a fantasy football sleeper in Week 8.
ESPN's Eric Moody predicted three fantasy sleepers that should be in your lineup this week, one of which was Jaguars' tight end Brenton Strange.
"Strange might have slipped through the cracks while Jacksonville was on bye last week," Moody wrote. "He has had at least seven targets and at least 13 fantasy points in two of his past three games."
To Moody's point, Strange had 44 yards in Week 6, but in the previous two games, he surpassed 150 receiving yards and found the end zone once.
While in the Liam Coen offense, target share from one week to the next can vary, Strange is first on the team in receptions and second in targets.
The Jaguars are also up against a Colts' defense that has struggled to defend the tight end position this season, with up and down play from their linebackers.
"He faces a Colts defense that has allowed five touchdowns to tight ends this season," Moody added. "For fantasy managers looking to replace George Kittle or Isaiah Likely during their byes, Strange is worth a look."
On the year, Strange has caught 26 passes for 279 yards with one touchdown.
