Fantasy Football Injury Updates for Week 7: Jordan Mason, Anthony Richardson, De'Von Achane, Nick Chubb, Mike Evans

Many fantasy football leagues play 14-week regular seasons, which means that we are officially at the halfway point after Week 7. Fantasy success this season has been largely tied to how well a roster avoided injuries to its top players, as high draft picks like De'Von Achane, Jonathan Taylor, Anthony Richardson, and James Cook are […]

C.J. Stroud Still In QB1 Territory At Packers

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud enters a Week 7 matchup against Green Bay as a steady QB1 in one of the NFL's top offenses. The Ohio State product has established a nice fantasy floor — five out of six top-15 finishes at his position — but so far, he's only cracked the top five once. […]

Texans’ Xavier Hutchinson A High-Risk Option In Week 7

Houston Texans wide receiver Xavier Hutchinson should continue to see a higher-than-normal volume of snaps, making him a high-risk option in deep leagues for a Week 7 game at Green Bay. Houston's top wide receiver, Nico Collins, will miss at least three more games on injured reserve, thrusting the second-year receiver into more playing time. […]

WR1 Potential For Stefon Diggs At Packers

Houston Texans wide receiver Stefon Diggs is in WR1 territory as he prepares to meet his old friends, the Green Bay Packers, during a Week 7 game at Lambeau Field.

Tank Dell In Flex Zone At Green Bay

Coming off his best game of the season, Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell is a solid flex option heading into a Week 7 matchup at Green Bay. The diminutive receiver drew a team-high nine targets in Week 6, which is no coincidence as Houston reconfigures its offense with top receiver Nico Collins (hamstring) on […]

Texans’ Dalton Schultz A TD-Dependent Play At Packers

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz is a fringe starter with some target volume upside in Week 7 at Green Bay. The 28-year-old has been among the letdown draft picks at tight end, ranking 25th at the position through six games. However, the Stanford product still remains a playable option with top Houston receiver Nico […]

Ka'imi Fairbairn An Elite Option Versus Green Bay

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn has been one of the best fantasy kickers in the NFL this season, and he remains a clear starter with Houston at Green Bay in Week 7. Fantasy managers who selected the Houston kicker have seen consistent production so far. The UCLA product is 13-for-15 on field goals, an impressive […]

Bad Matchup For Texans D/ST In Week 7

The Houston Texans defense/special teams delivered in a great matchup in Week 6, but Houston has no such luck with a tough draw at Green Bay in Week 7.

C.J. Stroud Tosses Three Touchdowns Against Patriots

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud completed 20 of his 31 attempts for 192 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception in a 41-21 victory on Sunday against the New England Patriots.

The third-year back also added one catch for one yard, but compiled most of his […]

Texans D/ST Forces Four Turnovers Against Patriots

Playing against a rookie quarterback and one of the NFL's worst offenses, the Houston Texans defense/special teams came through on Sunday in a 41-21 win against the New England Patriots.

Houston’s Tank Dell Scores First ’24 Touchdown At Patriots

After what has been a frustrating start to the season, Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell broke out Sunday at New England with seven catches for 57 yards and a touchdown on a team-high nine targets.

Stefon Diggs Catches TD In Defeat Of New England

Houston Texans wide receiver Stefon Diggs compiled another productive week with seven targets, six catches, 77 receiving yards, and a touchdown in Houston's 41-21 triumph on Sunday at New England.

Joe Mixon Highly Productive In Return From Injury

Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon delivered in his first game back from an ankle injury, compiling 132 total yards, two catches, and two touchdowns in a 41-21 defeat of the New England Patriots.

With four teams taking their bye this week, injuries continue to be a major factor as leagues already near the halfway point of fantasy regular seasons. Managers' benches and waiver wire adds are getting tested, as major contributors like Jonathan Taylor, Joe Mixon, Malik Nabers, Anthony Richardson, and James Cook, among others, head into Week […]

Favorable Matchup For C.J. Stroud In Week 6

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud faces one of the NFL's worst teams on Sunday when the Texans visit New England. There hasn't been anything resembling a sophomore slump for the second-year quarterback, who has been good if not overwhelming for fantasy managers who drafted him as an every-week starter. The Patriots, meanwhile, have been a […]

Stefon Diggs A Fringe WR1 In Week 6 Matchup

Now that Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins (hamstring) is on injured reserve, fellow receiver Stefon Diggs figures to be Houston's top pass-catching option ahead of a Week 6 game at New England. The 30-year-old plays a different role than Collins within the Houston offense, but an already good volume play (82% of snaps, 8.2 […]

Tank Dell In Flex Territory For Week 6 Matchup

Fantasy managers who selected Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell haven't seen much production yet, but there's some hope that could change in Week 6 with Houston at New England. The second-year pass-catcher could be in line to improve on a disappointing 71st ranking among fantasy receivers, as team-leading wide receiver Nico Collins (hamstring) is […]

Dalton Schultz A TE2 Option At New England

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz is a playable option with a decent matchup in Week 6 against the New England Patriots. The 28-year-old has had a disappointing fantasy season so far, but the silver lining is that his target percentage has gone up three weeks in a row, and he's still an every-down player, […]

Ka’imi Fairbairn Remains Top Kicking Candidate Against Patriots

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn remains a solid starting option with Houston visiting the struggling New England Patriots in Week 6. The veteran ranks second among fantasy kickers so far this season, and the Texans are up against one of the league's worst teams in this matchup. New England's offense has had trouble simply staying […]

Texans D/ST A Superb Streaming Option In Week 6

The struggling New England Patriots present a terrific opportunity for the Houston Texans' defense in Week 6. Only the Tua Tagovailoa-less Miami Dolphins have scored fewer points per game than New England, which is officially making a quarterback change this week. Rookie quarterback Drake Maye will make his first start for the Patriots, who are […]

Stefon Diggs Produces Against Former Team In Week 5

Houston Texans wide receiver Stefon Diggs led the way for his offense with a team-high eight targets and 82 receiving yards on six catches in a 23-20 victory in Week 5 against the Buffalo Bills.

Houston’s Tank Dell Moderately Involved In Week 5 Win

The Houston Texans improved to 4-1 with a 23-20 defeat of Buffalo on Sunday, but wide receiver Tank Dell was only moderately involved with four catches for 38 yards.

Cam Akers Finds End Zone Against Bills

Houston Texans running back Cam Akers scored his second touchdown of the season on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills, capping a day in which he had 42 rushing yards on nine carries and caught two of three targets for five yards.

Dare Ogunbowale Involved As Receiving Option In Week 5

Fantasy Football Injury Updates for Week 5: Jonathan Taylor, Malik Nabers, Joe Mixon, Davante Adams, Brian Robinson Jr.

Decent Matchup Faces C.J. Stroud In Week 5

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud faces a marquee game on Sunday with the Buffalo Bills in town. The quarterback's sophomore campaign is off to a solid start: he already has surpassed the 1,000-yard mark, he has a 3:1 touchdown-to-interception ratio, and the Texans are 3-1. Next up is a steady Bills defense that has blitzed […]

Nico Collins Still A WR1 Against Elite Defense

The Buffalo Bills have been awfully tough on pass catchers in 2024, but Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins remains in elite territory as the two sides prepare to clash in Week 5. The 25-year-old receiver looks to be entering his prime with a capable supporting cast, and the early returns have been excellent. Collins […]
