By extending Brevin Jordan for another year, the Texans are interested in seeing what the young Tight End has to offer.
While lacking a true star at the position, Houston does have plenty of talent in the Tight End room. Dalton Schultz had a mini-renaissance catching passes from C.J. Stroud, Cade Stover has shown flashes in limited action his rookie season, and 2nd round draft pick Irv Smith is standing by on the practice squad. All that to say, Houston could have walked away from a 4th year player at the end of his rookie contract who has not really produced and also tore his ACL. And yet they didn’t.
Brevin Jordan is still young by TE standards, he will just turn 25 before the start of next season. While he currently should not be rostered in all but the deepest dynasty leagues, keep an eye on Brevin and the Houston TE room next year. He did catch 3 touchdowns on just 28 receptions his rookie season, and looked smooth on his 76 yard touchdown catch vs the Browns in the 2023 Wild Card game. Check the tape.

Brevin Jordan suffered a torn ACL and will miss the rest of the 2024 season recovering from the injury.
Brevin Jordan suffered the injury at some point during week 2, playing the entire game before finding out the next day. Jordan will miss the remainder of year, but is aiming to come back better than ever.
Cade Stover will now assume the clear TE2 duties behind Dalton Schultz. Stover played with C.J. Stroud at Ohio State and Stroud has referred to him as “a brother.” Stover can expect to see more opportunities for the remainder of the year, and this news should accelerate his development by seeing more playing time. Schultz also got a little banged up in week 2 with an ankle injury, but was back practicing in full on Thursday after turning in a limited practice on Wednesday.
Brevin Jordan no longer warrants a fantasy roster spot at this time, even in deeper leagues. Stover should be owned in all deeper dynasty leagues, especially those that place a premium on the tight end position, as it seems inevitable that he’ll eventually be Stroud’s go-to target at tight end. For now, Stover should be on your bench, but offers strong upside if Schultz gets sidelined.
