Dameon Pierce Might Be Only Playable Texan In Week 9

Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce remains a fantasy RB2 play heading into Thursday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles, even as the rest of his team is virtually unplayable against the league's fourth-best scoring defense. The Houston passing game is currently suffering from receiver injuries and is likely going to struggle to move the ball […]

Davis Mills A Risky Option In Week 9

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills should be mainly off the fantasy radar for Thursday night's contest against the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles allow the fourth-fewest passing yards per game, while the Texans throw for an average of 196 yards per contest, which ranks 25th in the NFL. With Nico Collins (groin) out and Brandin Cooks […]

Brandin Cooks Leads Texans In Receiving In Week 8

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks caught four passes for 73 yards in Sunday's loss to the Titans. He was targeted six times. With Nico Collins sidelined, Cooks was the only real weapon for quarterback Davis Mills, as no other player had more than 24 receiving yards. With rumors floating around that Cooks could be […]

Dameon Pierce Catches Touchdown In Week 8

Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce had gone over 80 rushing yards in four consecutive games entering Sunday's contest against the Titans, but Tennessee's defense was able to shut the rookie down on the ground. Pierce had 15 carries, but produced just 35 yards. His fantasy day was salvaged, though, when he was on the […]

Davis Mills Struggles Against Titans

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills was 17-for-29 for 152 yards in Sunday's loss to the Titans, throwing one touchdown while also getting picked off. Mills also added eight rushing yards.

Texans Defense Has Limited Appeal In Week 8

The Houston Texans defense is a little more appealing than usual on Sunday against a Titans team that ranks just 21st in the NFL in points per game, but there's still plenty of reason to be concerned. For example, the Texans allow the most rushing yards per game in the NFL and face a team […]

Ka'imi Fairbairn Has Some Upside In Week 8

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn started the year hot, not missing a single kick in his first three games. He's missed two of them in the last three games, so there's definitely a little concern there about his accuracy. But the Texans offense has a tendency to stall out in opponent territory, which is why […]

Jordan Akins Has Some Deep-League Appeal In Week 8

Houston Texans tight end Jordan Akins could be a sneaky play in deep leagues or DFS this week against the Titans, who allow the second-most passing yards per game in the NFL. He's seen at least two targets in four consecutive games, and last week he caught three passes for a team-high 68 yards. It's […]

Nico Collins Not Expected To Play Sunday

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins (groin) isn't expected to play Sunday when the Texans take on the Titans, according to KPRC's Aaron Wilson. The Titans allow the second-most passing yards per game in the NFL, so Collins likely would have been considered a fantasy sleeper if he played. Expect more targets to Brandin Cooks, […]

Brandin Cooks Has WR2 Appeal In Week 8

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks (wrist) looks like he'll play Sunday against the Titans, and with fellow receiver Nico Collins (groin) trending in the wrong direction, Cooks should be in line for more targets this week. His overall fantasy value has taken a hit because his target share has decreased on a near-weekly basis, […]

Dameon Pierce Remains An RB2 Play Against Titans

Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce doesn't have the easiest matchup on Sunday against a Titans team that allows the fourth-fewest rushing yards per game to opposing teams, but his volume makes him an RB2 play despite that. He's had 20 or more carries in three of the last four games, while he's also been […]

Davis Mills Has Deep Fantasy Appeal Against Titans

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills hasn't had a great season, but he's got a chance to post solid numbers on Sunday against a Titans team that ranks 31st in the NFL in passing yards allowed per game. That might not end up mattering since the Texans offense has often relied on its run game this […]

On Monday, the Indianapolis Colts announced that the team was benching quarterback Matt Ryan and would be replacing him with former Texas Longhorns quarterback Sam Ehlinger.

Should I Add Parris Campbell After His Week 7 Performance?

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I was really interested to see how things shook out in Dallas this week since Dak Prescott was back under center.

Donovan Peoples-Jones (WR, CLE) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 20% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Donovan Peoples-Jones has been a constant presence in the bottom half of this column all season. His numbers have been solid this season—he wasn't going to win you a fantasy matchup, but in a 14-team league, there's value in someone who won't […]

Tyler Boyd (WR, CIN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 65% of Leagues ANALYSIS: We're at the point where Tyler Boyd's fantasy value gets a boost: bye weeks. I love having a guy like Boyd to help me get through byes because he has a consistent role on a good offense. And that's not to mention […]

Mecole Hardman (WR, KC) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 24% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Chiefs have a bye next week, so Hardman can't help you immediately, but we can't ignore a player who scored three touchdowns this week, even if two of them came on run plays, something that's pretty fluky. Hardman's found the end zone […]

Is Breece Hall Out For The Season? Should I Pickup Michael Carter Off the Waiver Wire?

New York Jets rookie running back Breece Hall was in the midst of a breakout after consecutive games with over 100 scrimmage yards. But in Week 7, Hall had just four carries before exiting with a knee injury. He was on the way to having a huge game, as he already had 72 rushing yards […]
