Fantasy analyst Matt Okada recommends benching Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange for Week 5 due to a challenging matchup against the Eagles. Although Strange posted seven catches for 95 yards in Week 4 against the Bengals, the Eagles typically limit tight end scoring. The Eagles have kept opposing tight ends to an average of four receptions and 39 yards this season, with no touchdowns allowed. Strange's inconsistent target share, alongside a blocking role in the Jaguars' run game, further complicates his fantasy value. He has recorded 14 catches for 167 yards and one touchdown through four games this season, but Okada advises to keep him benched for now.
