Jordan was not targeted over 27 snaps in Week 18's 28-25 loss to Tennessee.
Analysis: Jordan had experienced an increase in chances over the second half of the season, but the momentum stalled over the final two weeks. He averaged four targets and scored three touchdowns over seven games between Week 8 and 16 but had just one target after that. Known more for his contributions as a receiver, Jordan took over that role from Jordan Akins, who missed Week 18 due to illness and was a healthy scratch three times following Houston's Week 10 bye. Jordan is in position to be the leading pass-catching tight end, but the Texans need to add a traditional blocker at the position.
Brevin Jordan Catches lone target in loss
Jordan caught his lone target for nine yards in Sunday's 23-7 loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: Jordan entered the game with a combined eight catches, 11 targets and one touchdown over the previous two games, but Houston's tight ends were marginalized Sunday. The position group accounted for just two of quarterback Davis Mills' 30 targets. Jordan has been the most prolific tight end since the Texans started playing him regularly and should be the only one considered for those looking at a cheap option at the position. The rookie has three receiving touchdowns, second on the team behind Brandin Cooks (six).
