Who Should I Start? Brevin Jordan or Grant Calcaterra

The Houston Texans signed tight end Brevin Jordan (knee) to an undisclosed one-year contract extension on Thursday morning, according to a source. Jordan was poised for a breakout season in 2024 but tore his ACL in Week 2 against the Chicago Bears. With the extension in place, the Texans will look forward to having him back in 2025. The 24-year-old served as mostly a lead blocker in the first two games of the season behind pass-catching tight end Dalton Schultz, catching only two of his three targets for seven yards. His injury vaulted Cade Stover into a bigger role behind Schultz this year, but the rookie only has 14 receptions for 132 yards and one touchdown in 13 games played. Jordan has never had more than 20 catches, 219 receiving yards or three touchdowns in any of his four NFL seasons and won't be on the fantasy map in 2025 coming off his serious knee injury.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Grant Calcaterra will aim to build on his first NFL touchdown as the team prepares to face the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 15. Filling in for the injured Dallas Goedert (knee), Calcaterra recorded three catches for 16 yards and a touchdown in last week's win over the Panthers. The Steelers present a challenging matchup, allowing just 218.6 passing yards per game and only 14 passing touchdowns this season, tied for the fifth-fewest in the league. While Calcaterra has shown flashes, finishing as a top-10 PPR tight end three times in five starts, his upside is limited by just one touchdown and a single red-zone target in that span. Pittsburgh has been tough against tight ends, giving up the eighth-fewest fantasy points per game to the position over the last five weeks. Calcaterra profiles as a low-end streaming option in Week 15.
