2024 Fantasy Outlook
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.

Strange (knee) was a limited participant during practice Wednesday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Strange was designated to return from the reserve/PUP list earlier Wednesday, and this was his first practice session of any kind this season. So, it makes sense the team would take it slow with the 26-year-old. He'll have an opportunity to ramp up his activity level Thursday and Friday, before any determination for his status for Sunday's game against the Dolphins is likely given.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
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.
