The Houston Texans are a fantasy football D/ST waiver wire pickup and streamer. Week 16 (2023) fantasy football team defenses - free agent waiver wire adds.
BALLER MOVE: 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 37% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: The Texans' defense was the reason they pulled off an overtime win in Tennessee in Week 15. With CJ Stroud out, the defense needed to step up to keep them in the close battle for the top spot in the AFC South and step up they did, sacking Will Levis seven times. This week they face the 26th-ranked Browns offense at home, and Joe Flacco, one of the least mobile QBs in the NFL.

The Texans have scored at least eight fantasy points in five of the last six games and have averaged 4.7 sacks per game over the last three. Like the Colts, the Texans also have a favorable matchup in Week 17 at home against the Titans. If you don’t have one of the Tier 1 or 2 DSTs, the Texans are a good option.
