Past Fantasy Outlooks

2023
When healthy, Strange is penciled in as the Patriots' starting left guard. However, the 2022 first-rounder -- who started all 10 games that he played in last season -- is bouncing back from a torn patellar tendon in his left knee he sustained last December, an issue which could limit or sideline him early on in 2024.
The Patriots selected Strange in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft, and the Chattanooga quickly settled into a key role on the team's interior offensive line. The 6-5, 310-pounder is slated to start at right guard for New England this coming season.
