DeAndre Hopkins Has Some Risk In Week 14

Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins will be in your fantasy lineups for Week 14's meeting with the Indianapolis Colts, but fantasy owners may need to temper their expectations somewhat.

Lamar Miller Is Solid RB2 Against Colts

Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller is coming off back-to-back 100-yard games and is a solid RB2 option against the Colts in Week 14. Miller has 100 or more yards in four of Houston's last six games, and though he only finished with 49 yards when Houston played the Colts earlier in the year, Miller's […]

Deshaun Watson Is A Solid Play In Week 14

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson hasn't thrown for 300 yards in his last seven games, but he's mostly avoided turnovers during that time frame and has made strong use of his legs at times, making him a good fantasy option against the Colts on Sunday.

Leonard Fournette Held In Check By Titans

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette returned from his one-game suspension for Thursday's meeting with the Tennessee Titans, but he was never able to gain much traction, finishing with 36 rushing yards on 14 carries and getting stuffed multiple times at the goal line as the Jacksonville offensive line failed to open any space for […]

The Tape Tells All - Dante Pettis's Week 13 Performance

Things were supposed to be good in San Francisco this year.
