Proven TE in his prime — production and runway both hold.
DVS is our model view, scored on Engine-default half-PPR — not a guaranteed price in your league. Bye weeks and schedule strength are left out on purpose.

Quick answer
BuyStrange caught 46 passes for 540 yards in 2025, finishing TE23. He scored 16% more than his touches said he should. Finish path matters here: TE31 → TE23 is a breakout, not a development pitch. 2026 looks more like a flex than a locked starter. The trend line says buy: this is a climb, not a name you're paying nostalgia tax for.
