Quick answer
BuyStrange caught 21 passes for 235 yards in 2026, ranking TE13 through 5 games. Through 5 games he sits TE13, up from TE23 — a climb, not a final rank. 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.
