Who Should I Start? Noah Fant or Brevin Jordan

Sunday, December 28, 12:03 PM

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Noah Fant (ankle) is officially active on Sunday to face the visiting Arizona Cardinals in Week 17. Fant will return to action this weekend in a meaningless game after missing last week's blowout win over the Miami Dolphins due to an ankle injury. Even in a plus matchup against the Cardinals, fantasy managers should have much better TE2 streaming options to choose from in Week 17, even in deeper leagues. The 28-year-old Fant just won't have enough opportunities while continuing to work behind Mike Gesicki at the position in Cincy. Fant has a total of 33 catches for 283 yards and three touchdowns on 39 targets in 13 games (six starts) in his first year with the Bengals. He hasn't had more than one catch in a game since Nov. 16, and he has not gone over 44 receiving yards in a single contest in 2025.

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.
