Who Should I Start? Drew Sample or Brevin Jordan

Saturday, September 27, 2:08 PM

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Drew Sample has only three catches this season, with one resulting in a trip to the end zone. The 29-year-old has logged more snaps than Mike Gesicki and Noah Fant (foot) through the first three weeks of the 2025 campaign. However, both have received more attention from quarterbacks Joe Burrow (toe) and Jake Browning. The Bengals offense is a mess, which has been a surprise to most. As a result, it's hard to trust anyone on that side of the ball. Granted, Sample should continue to lead the position in snaps, especially with his abilities as a blocker. Still, while he will likely add a few more scores to his resume before the end of the season, he's not consistent enough to be considered a starting fantasy option in any format in Week 4 versus the Broncos.

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.
