This thread is one of the best threads I've read in a while. I was entertained from the first page to the last.

I feel like the position is deeper than it's ever been, and you can make a case for nearly anyone out there.

I’m tracking with you on Jordan. He could have an excellent year as a sleeper pick. I have been snagging him where I can.
Agreed here as well.
He could be a thing but may be later in the year. The Texans really seem excited about Pep Hamilton who is installing a new offense so not sure just how he will do but he gets a chance to grow with Mills who the Texans really like as well.

The rebirth of the Texans so to speak should be fun to watch.

I don't own him but you guys have me thinking he may be worth picking up a share in one of my leagues that I have a spot for developmental TE. :thumbup:

He's in year 2. Only 21 y.o, but his metrics aren't great. He ran a 4.73 40 time (4.68 Pro day)
(https://www.playerprofiler.com/nfl/brevin-jordan/) but there's literally no one else around him for competition.

Seems like a decent dart throw over some of the other fish out there.

Side note: Will Foster Moreau become anything with Waller on the potential "decline".

David Njoku now making top 5 TE money... I did not see that coming.

Hard to ignore that kind of cash, might need to bump him up.

To be clear: I’m not planting a flag that Jordan will jump into the top 5, but rather he could join the cluster of startable guys that there is no meaningful difference between.

Athleticism is less important for Move Tight Ends like Brevin (think Zach Ertz). They're basically just big bodied slot receivers with the TE designation.

There will definitely be opportunity in HOU and his athleticism and draft capital are not the limiting factors people assume they are.. but what's going against him is his lackluster rookie season production and efficiency.

People are always hoping for TE's to be productive but you've got to remember that very, very few of these guys become consistently fantasy relevant.

I grabbed Jordan late last season, think he's got a chance to become pretty solid.Young QB and he's essentially a chain mover so I'm hoping he becomes startable but dont think he touches top 5.

Yep.

+ QB upgrade
+ Targets cleared out (Landry, Beckham, Hooper)
+ Long-term money

It's now or never for Njoku.

OJ Howard got a massive QB upgrade and is likely dirt cheap. Though, he’s likely rostered and for the price you’d pay someone would probably rather hold. Maybe if you started as a different trade and asked for him as a toss in.

There are much worse bets than that offense…

He's behind Dawson Knox though. You think he has fantasy football value as the TE2 there or are you thinking he'll beat out Knox?
Not all that counts can be counted. Not all that can be counted counts.

I think you’re betting on the latter. I don’t think Knox has been extremely impressive. Howard was quite the athlete but we know that hasn’t meant much.

Knox in the Red Zone. Howard between the 20s. Gabriel Davis all of the above.

I just cut a Washington TE after seeing I owned 2 of them…. that aren’t Logan Thomas. Wentz is leading this sinking ship and I think MAYBE I shouldn’t be hopeful for that environment. :lol: I STILL have 10 of 35 slots for TE. At least it’s TEP? :lol:
