Who Should I Start? Brevin Jordan or Luke Musgrave

Houston Texans tight end Brevin Jordan (knee) agreed on a one-year extension with the organization on Monday. Jordan has been sidelined all season due to a torn ACL that he suffered in August. The 25-year-old was set to become a free agent after the season, but he will stick around in Houston for at least one more season. Clearly, the Texans view Jordan as part of their future on offense. During his last healthy season, he finished with 17 receptions for a career-high 219 yards with two touchdowns in 2023. The Texans don't have a ton of viable options at tight end outside of Dalton Schultz. Jordan could have a path to being a solid contributor in Houston next season, but he'll still be off the fantasy radar in most redraft leagues next fall.

Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave could see a further uptick in his workload for the Packers in Week 17 as Green Bay takes on Baltimore on Saturday at Lambeau Field. Musgrave saw his highest percentage of routes per dropback this season in Week 16, running a route on 84% of dropbacks. That was primarily due to John FitzPatrick (Achilles) leaving the game because of his injury, and Musgrave seeing that time on the field with Green Bay's TE3 Josh Whyle inactive. Musgrave should see the bulk of the snaps and routes for the tight end position in Week 17, but the murky quarterback situation with Jordan Love (shoulder/concussion) and Malik Willis (shoulder/illness), both questionable, makes it difficult to recommend Musgrave. Consider Musgrave a very risky play for fantasy managers in Week 17.
