How Texans LT Ersery Could Change Everything
Yahoo Sports NFLSource ↗
A torrent of free agency moves and draft decisions made the Houston Texans the talk of the NFL offseason from March to May, building hype among a football-starved crowd and fanbase aching for a championship. Recently, it’s felt like everyone has been aching for the Texans to break through, with Super Bowl predictions cropping up everywhere from Lance Zierlein to Aaron Schatz! It’s like Texans mania had swept the country in June…that is, until the Los Angeles Rams traded for DE Myles Garrett . Leave it to the Rams to steal the headlines and make some blockbuster trade reminiscent of their neighbors with the hardwood court and gold-and-purple get up. Besides L.A.’s tubthumping, Houston has assembled possibly their most complete team to date through the 2026 offseason, signing veteran tackles and tight ends to improve the “balance” of the offseason line, as Texans offensive coordinator Nick Caley described in his interview with the Houston Chronicle’s Jonathan M. Alexander: “You always want balance, and each game is a little different,” Caley told the Chronicle. “I think we found a way to even that out as the season progressed. So finding a way to do that. And balance doesn’t come necessarily in terms of a 50-50 run-pass ratio, but it’s also the usage of different players.” That’s why Houston added several tight ends this offseason. The Texans signed veteran Foster Moreau to a two-year deal and drafted rookie Marlin Klein in the second round. Brevin Jordan is also returning from a knee injury that ended his 2025 season before it got started. – Jonathan M. Alexander, “Exclusive: Why Texans OC Nick Caley is confident C.J. Stroud, offense will show improvement in 2026” This influx of new blockers to control the edge on Houston’s offense has a lot of fans bullish on the Texans entering 2026. New offensive linemen like RT Braden Smith, LG Wyatt Teller , and rookie C/G Keylan Rutledge give plenty of reason for optimism after last year’s red-zone woes. But, on top of those additions, the TE room Houston has assembled in 2026 has some analysts seeing red, including Battle Red Blog’s Nickschwager, who’s bullish on the position group to take a big step forward. Maybe these new faces are all Nick Caley needed to get his ground-game churning, but to me, those new players are only half the story. Don’t get me wrong – adding all of these veterans and rookies will give the Texans’ front some real teeth, but there’s one player in particular that can springboard this group from plucky playoff underdog to true Super Bowl Goliath: second-year LT Aireontae Ersery. Maybe the name alone doesn’t get you out of your seat like one such as Will Anderson Jr. , but Aireontae Ersery’s position as CJ Stroud’s blindside protector holds just as much value as any other spot on the roster. As a rookie starter drafted in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft, Ersery was given hefty responsibilities in an instant and did enough to hold his own as a young LT. He had cowboy-sized boots to fill when all-star Laremy Tunsil was traded to the Washington Commanders , and even though Ersery was too slow and too handsy to be a pass a Chanel-laiden Tunsil vibe check, he certainly put plenty of teams on notice in year one: In his rookie season with the Texans in 2025, Aireontae Ersery played in: 18 Starts (Including Playoffs) – 17 Games at LT, 1 at RT (Week 1) 1,225 Snaps (Including Playoffs) – 1,166 at LT, 59 at RT; 472 Run-Blocking Snaps, 753 Pass-Blocking Snaps 7 Sacks Allowed, 11 Hits, 48 Total Pressures, 13 Penalties 58.9 PFF Grade (50.9 RBLK, 66.1 PBLK) It’s not a shining report card, but given the circumstances, Ersery showed he can be a starter in the NFL. All of those pressures given up and penalties are hard to swallow, but the majority of these came in the first eight weeks of his NFL career. Ersery countered this rough onset of the season with an excellent run in November/December that coincided with Houston’s push into the NFL playoffs. I said as much [... truncated ...]

Film Room: Brevin Jordan’s Impact on the Texans Offense
Yahoo Sports NFLSource ↗
There is a familiar term in the gaming world for characters or strategy with high offensive power and low defense power called “glass cannons”. In NFL terms, it’s a player who is incredibly productive on the field, but is rarely fully healthy due to injuries. The Texans have several glass cannons on offense. Namely, Tank Dell and Brevin Jordan. The latter is the subject of today’s article; the criticism and potential entering his fifth season in Houston. The former University of Miami tight end was drafted in the fifth round of the 2021 NFL Draft. At the time, Jordan was slotted in behind veteran Pharaoh Brown and two under-achieving third rounders in Jordan Akins and Kahale Warring . There was both the opportunity to start right away and significant competition for snaps at the position. Jordan ’s rookie season started slow as he was a healthy scratch, but once he took the field he immediately impacted the offense. In nine games, he recorded a career high 20 receptions and three touchdowns. Since his rookie year, the issue has been two fold. First, finding a consistent, legitimate role for Jordan. The second is getting him on the field healthy. He has yet to play a full 17-game season. He’s only started 12 games and the most receptions he’s put tighter was his rookie season with 20. That track record lags behind the leash he’s been given in the Texans organization. Far more productive players have been given far less time to develop as Jordan has. Now with his fifth season in front of him and entering the final year of his contract, this is easily the most critical season in his career. Jordan has given the Texans enough moments over the years for the coaching staff to believe he has more to given when fully healthy. The fact of the matter is that Jordan hasn’t played meaningful football since 2023… and he only played 25% of all offensive snaps. That was under a different offensive coordinator and frankly under a different C.J. Stroud . Additionally, what is going to be Jordan’s role on offense? Dalton Schultz is your pass-catching TE1. Foster Moreau is the grizzled veteran blocking tight end. Cade Stover is the utility belt, potential full back. Marlin Klein is the young buck slated to be the blocking tight end of the future. That leaves a small sliver of opportunity for Jordan to carve a role. His 2023 stat line positions him well in the offense. As a primarily inline blocker, he can be used in the play action passing game as well as supporting the run. His speed and raw athleticism will create positional mismatches for the defense. If opposing defenses use a defensive back to cover him, then the Texans will opt to run the ball against a weaker box. If they heavy-up to stop the run, he is faster than most linebackers in the league. The below chart illustrates his capability to make an impact over the middle of the field. Provided by PFF, the majority of Jordan’s catches and targets in 2023 occurred within 10 yards of the line of scrimmage. Even though his speed was a defining factor in his play, it was only used to get first down and to the sideline. Additional film from his 2023 season helps display the way Jordan was used. #9 on your screen and potentially #4 on your depth chart, Jordan is a versatile chess piece in the Texans offense. The Texans liked to stick Brevin in this extended tight end position. It expands the defensive end away from the line of scrimmage while also brings in a secondary player to protect against the run. The quasi-slot role limits combines the support of the run game and threat of the play action pass. This position creates a fantastic angle for Jordan to block down on the defensive end. It also encourages the defense to utilize a defensive back instead of a linebacker as J This play from 2023 exhibits the impact Brevin’s speed has on a defense. From the tight end position, he’s able to be at the exact same distance downfield as WR Nico Collins , which forces both safeties to crash. [... truncated ...]

Houston Texans Rosterology: predicting the 53-man roster
Yahoo Sports NFLSource ↗
Welcome to the ninth year of the Houston Texans Rosterology. The longest-running article series on the site is back again to document the process of crafting the team’s initial 53-man roster. The Texans have been at OTAs this week, which gives us insight into the team’s initial depth chart and how the team plans to use some of their new additions. At the onset, this is the deepest roster I’ve ever had the pleasure of covering. I recall entering training camp in 2021, I only thought there were 40 roster-worthy players on the entire 90-man roster. This year? I have 63 players worthy of the 53-man roster. A truly incredible improvement. Similar to how NCAA Basketball’s Bracketology works, I’ll update the below with the Last Four (players) in the roster, the first four out, the biggest riser, and biggest faller. I’ll update this series every other Tuesday until the final 53-man roster is announced on Sunday, August 30th. Note: Rookies are in bold and UDFAs are italicized Alijah Huzzie , nickel Naquan Jones , DT Jamal Hill, LB Brevin Jordan , TE Justin Watson , WR Jarrett Patterson , OC/OG Cade Stover , TE Marte Mapu , LB The free agent defensive end holds a lot of weight in the room right now. He is the backup behind Will Anderson Jr. and Danielle Hunter even though he has only had a rotational role in his time in Chicago . Considering how productive Derek Barnett was in the same role last year, Robinson has high expectations and big shoes to fill. The Texans are demonstrating immense patience and trust in the new DE in a critical role by not adding another player to compete against him. Patterson has started 21 games over the past three seasons, but was thrown to the wolves when Houston drafted Kelyan Rutledge and Febechi Nwaiwu in the 2026 NFL Draft. Patterson’s lack of strength and power have limited him in the run game, and he struggled to protect Stroud throughout his career. Houston may quickly be looking to move on from the former sixth round pick. C.J. Stroud, Davis Mills CUT: Graham Mertz Analysis: I predict Houston will only keep two QBs on the roster and designate Mertz to the practice squad with the intention of elevating him up to the roster as the emergency QB throughout the season. Mertz’s development in year two and another season removed from his ACL tear will be an interesting talking point. With Mills facing the last year of his contract, can Mertz present enough of a case to eventually assume the backup QB role? David Montgomery , Woody Marks , British Brooks , Jawhar Jordan CUT: Noah Whittington, Josh Pitsenberger , Evan Hull Analysis: The Texans abstained from adding to this position in the draft. That saved Jordan’s role as the third RB… for now. He will compete with undrafted rookie Noah Whittington for the last roster spot. Whittington is a bowling ball and better fit for the new running scheme. Look for Whittington to earn reps throughout camp. British Brooks has waded through injury and multiple blocking schemes throughout the past two seasons. However, there are reports that TE Cade Stover could be switching to fullback. If that’s the case, the entire RB room could be upended. A lot of moving pieces in this room, but OTAs will shine light on this group over the next several days. Nico Collins , Tank Dell , Jayden Higgins , Jaylin Noel , Xavier Hutchinson , Lewis Bond CUT: Justin Watson, Jared Wayne , Daniel Sobkowics, Jalen Walthall, Treyvhon Saunders, Jha’Quan Jackson Analysis: Rookie Lewis Bond is impressing immediately. His ascension will put stress on veteran Justin Watson, who had his worst season of his career with Houston. The Texans would save $1.5M if they cut Watson. Watson’s role in the offense as a big slot option for Stroud, but that never materialized. Their battle this offseason will be an examination into winning now or building for the future in the WR room. Dalton Schultz , Marlin Klein , Foster Moreau , Brevin Jordan CUT: Cade Stover, Layne Pryor Analysis: La [... truncated ...]

Woody Marks Should Have Plenty of Opportunities to Catch Passes
Although the Houston Texans acquired running back David Montgomery in an offseason trade with the Detroit Lions, second-year back Woody Marks should "stay fresh in a complementary role that should involve a lot of opportunities to catch passes out of the backfield," according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Sports. As long as Montgomery stays healthy, Marks won't have an opportunity to take over a three-down role in Houston, but he could still be very valuable for fantasy managers in PPR leagues, and RotoBaller has Marks currently ranked as the No. 45 overall RB in half-PPR setups. The former fourth-rounder out of USC in 2025 was a prolific pass-catcher as a Trojan and during his time at Mississippi State. Marks finished his rookie campaign in the NFL with a team-high 703 rushing yards on 196 carries after taking over the starting gig from veteran Nick Chubb. The 25-year-old added 24 receptions on 36 targets for 208 yards and three scores through the air in 16 regular-season games (eight starts). In college, Marks had at least 47 catches in four of his five seasons
