Texans' Brevin Jordan: Set to fill in for Schultz again
Rotowire
Jordan is expected to draw another start at tight end Sunday against the Jets with Dalton Schultz (hamstring) ruled out for a second consecutive game, Tyler Greenawalt of USA Today reports.
Jordan produced a season-high 64 receiving yards in last week's win over the Broncos, and with Schultz ruled out again, the third-year tight end will have a nice opportunity to build on that performance against the Jets. The Jets enter Week 14 tied with New Orleans for the most touchdowns allowed to tight ends this season (seven).

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Week 14 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Jordan could start again for the Texans in Week 14 at the Jets if Dalton Schultz (hamstring) remains out. Jordan started in Week 13 against Denver and had three catches for 64 yards on four targets, and he would be considered a low-end starter against the Jets. With Tank Dell (leg) out, Jordan could also see additional volume from C.J. Stroud, and Jordan is worth adding for 1 percent of your FAB.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Enjoys best game of season
Rotowire
Jordan caught three of four targets for 64 yards in Sunday's 22-17 win over the Broncos in Week 13.
Jordan elevated to the top of the tight end depth chart with Dalton Schultz (hamstring) sidelined and played a season-high 51 snaps. His pass-catching ability has never been questioned, but Jordan does not provide the run-blocking ability to be an every-down player in a lot of offenses. Depending on Schultz's status for Week 14 against the Jets, Jordan could get more opportunities again next week. Additionally, a season-ending injury to Tank Dell (leg) could lead to more targets even if Schultz is ready to go next week.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Week 14 Early Waiver Targets (Add/Drop)
Rotowire
The Texans suddenly seem to have some needs in the passing game. Tank Dell's season is likely over after a fractured fibula suffered Sunday, and they were already playing without Dalton Schultz (hamstring) in Week 13. Schultz's status moving forward is definitely up in the air, but if the injury lingers, Jordan could continue to be a big part of the game plan after he was second on the team in catches, yards, and targets Sunday. If you need a tight end for Week 14, Jordan could be the one.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: In line for bigger workload
Rotowire
Jordan is in line for an elevated workload Sunday against the Broncos with Dalton Schultz (hamstring) ruled out for that contest, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Schultz wasn't able to practice this week due to a hamstring injury, and with his status now confirmed for Week 13 action, Jordan and Eric Saubert figure to earn increased snap counts in the short term. Through eight appearances this season, Jordan has hauled in six of seven targets for 60 yards and one touchdown, so the bigger workload may not result in added attention from quarterback C.J. Stroud. Still, Saubert has no catches to his name in three games with the Texans in 2023, meaning Jordan likely is the better bet among the two to make a mark in the box score.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Sleeper TEs
Rotowire
Dalton Schultz (hamstring) isn't expected to play in Week 13 against Denver, which should give Jordan the chance to start in a great matchup since the Broncos are No. 1 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends. A tight end has scored at least 10.7 PPR points in seven of the past eight games against Denver, and a tight end has scored a touchdown against the Broncos in three games in a row. Jordan has only appeared in eight games this season and has just six catches for 60 yards and one touchdown. But in deeper leagues, Jordan could be useful given the matchup.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Returns to action
Rotowire
Jordan was not targeted over 15 offensive snaps in Sunday's 21-16 win over the Cardinals in Week 11.
Jordan returned to action after missing three games due to a foot injury. He was one of two active tight ends, but Dalton Schultz is the only Houston tight end that matters. Schultz, who scored his fifth touchdown Sunday, is third on the team in targets with 59 and has nearly seven times more targets than the rest of the position group combined.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Good to go Sunday
Rotowire
Jordan (foot) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
The third-year tight end out of Miami was able to log a full practice Friday after recording a DNP on Wednesday, and it now seems as if he's been able to move past the foot issue that's held him out of the Texans' last three games. Jordan has played a minimal role in Houston's offense thus far, catching all five of his targets for 51 yards and one touchdown.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Returns to field
Rotowire
Jordan (foot) practiced Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
It's not clear whether Jordan logged a limited or full practice, but either way, it's an upgrade from his DNP on Wednesday. The 23-year-old has been out of action since Week 6, but assuming he doesn't suffer any setbacks it's possible he is trending in the right direction to suit up Sunday against the Cardinals.

Rotowire
Jordan (foot) did not participate at practice Wednesday.
After missing the Texans' last three games tending to a foot injury, Jordan is now missing Houston's first practice of the new week. Unless he's able to return to practice Thursday or Friday, he'll likely be sidelined in Week 11.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Not practicing Wednesday
Rotowire
Jordan (foot) isn't practicing Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Jordan sat out the Texans' Week 8 loss to Carolina while dealing with plantar fasciitis, and the tight end has yet to shake off the injury as Houston begins preparations for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. If Jordan misses another game, Eric Saubert -- whom Houston signed off Dallas' practice squad Tuesday -- will likely serve as the No. 2 tight end behind starter Dalton Schultz.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Could miss time
Rotowire
Jordan, who did not play in Sunday's 15-13 loss to the Panthers, is dealing with a plantar fasciitis issue in his foot and could miss additional time, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
It's unclear when Jordan picked up the foot injury, but it held him out of Friday's practice and ultimately ruled him out for Week 8. He could be a candidate to be placed on the team's IR if he's going to miss extended time.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Won't play Week 8
Rotowire
Jordan (foot) has been deemed out for Sunday's contest in Carolina.
Jordan practiced in limited fashion Wednesday and Thursday before sitting out Friday. That unpromising sequence has resulted in him being ruled out for Week 8. Jordan hasn't gotten more than two targets or played more than 20 percent of Houston's offensive snaps in any game so far this season, so his absence Sunday is unlikely to cause many fantasy waves.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Finds end zone in win
Rotowire
Jordan caught both of his targets for 13 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-17 win over Jacksonville.
He played just 10 snaps, but Jordan provided quarterback C.J. Stroud with another weapon in the red zone. The touchdown was his first since Dec. 12, 2021. The tight end played only special teams in Week 1 but has seen 18 percent of the combined offensive snaps in Weeks 2 and 3.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Plays offense for first time
Rotowire
Jordan caught both of his targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 31-20 loss to the Colts.
Jordan was used on offense for the first time this season after playing special teams only in Week 1. He was third among the position group with 15 snaps, but Jordan is considered a better ball-catcher than No. 2 tight end Teagan Quitoriano. The franchise had high hopes for Jordan when he was drafted in 2021, but the third-year veteran failed to prove he's deserving of a larger role. Dalton Schultz is the clear No. 1 at this point.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: No run on offense
Rotowire
Jordan played five snaps on special teams in Sunday's 25-9 loss to the Ravens in Week 1.
Jordan, who did not play during the preseason due to a hamstring injury, did not get on the field when the offense had the ball. After two seasons in which the organization tried to make Jordan its lead tight end, it looks like they've moved on. Dalton Schultz (62 snaps) and Teagan Quitoriano (22 snaps) are the top two at the position.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Appears ready to play
Rotowire
Jordan (hamstring) wasn't listed on Houston's injury report Wednesday ahead of Sunday's game at Baltimore.
Despite having to deal with a hamstring injury back in training camp, Jordan seems to be healthy heading into his team's Week 1 game. After giving Dalton Shultz a $9 million contract during the offseason, the Texans have some incentive to funnel targets in that direction at the expense of Jordan.

Jordan dealt with a hamstring injury during most of training camp, but it was encouraging to see him back at practice Wednesday.

Jordan' (hamstring) isn't slated to play in Thursday's preseason game against the Patriots, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
With Jordan still dealing with a hamstring issue, his next chance to see game action will occur Saturday, Aug. 19 against the Dolphins. Once he's back in action, Jordan will look to carve out a role in a Houston tight end corps that also includes Dalton Schultz and Teagan Quitoriano (quadriceps).
