Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz is a playable option with a decent matchup in Week 6 against the New England Patriots.

Dalton Schultz In TE2 Territory Against Bills

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz enters Week 5 against Buffalo coming off his most productive game of the season, albeit for just three catches and 34 receiving yards.

Houston’s Ka'imi Fairbairn Still A Top Kicker Option

As one of two kickers in the NFL to have made six field goals from 50 or more yards, Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn remains an easy starting lineup decision with the Buffalo Bills visiting in Week 5.

Texans D/ST Best Avoided Against Buffalo

The Houston Texans enter Week 5 in the middle of the pack among fantasy defenses on the season, making them a highly risky play against the Buffalo Bills.
