Who Should I Start? Hayden Hurst or Brevin Jordan

Saturday, January 11, 3:09 PM

According to the team, Los Angeles Chargers tight end Hayden Hurst and rookie running back Kimani Vidal are both inactive for Saturday's playoff game against the Houston Texans. Both Hurst and Vidal were not on the injury report but will sit out during the opening game of the NFL playoffs. Hurst has appeared in only nine games this season and averaged a mere 1.4 targets per game. Fantasy managers should expect Will Dissly to operate as the clear TE1 on Saturday afternoon. With Vidal sitting out, fantasy managers should expect J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards to lead the backfield. Dobbins carries RB1 upside in this match, while Hurst should be viewed as a TE2.

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.
