Hunter Long In Line For Big Increase In Playing Time
The Jacksonville Jaguars will spend the next month without tight end Brenton Strange (quadriceps), opening the door for fellow tight end Hunter Long to see a major increase in snaps heading into Week 6. The Jags placed Strange on injured reserve on Tuesday, assuring he's out through Week 9, and Long seems likely to take on significantly more snaps. When Strange departed Monday's win against Kansas City, Long played 60% of the team's offensive snaps, though it led to only one target. Managers should dial back expectations, as the fifth-year man has never been much of a fantasy asset, though he'll have an opportunity like never before as the Jags rely on him and Johnny Mundt to take on bigger roles for the four weeks.
