Low Ceiling Should Keep Dalton Schultz On Fantasy Benches

At this stage of the season, fantasy managers rostering Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz in a one-tight end format would be hard-pressed to trust him, even in a great matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Houston still clearly values the veteran tight end, who is playing 80% of its snaps, but his decline in receiving […]

Favorable Conditions For Texans’ Ka'imi Fairbairn Against Jags

Kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn of the Houston Texans enters Week 13 against Jacksonville coming off one of the worst missed field goals of the year, an uncharacteristically pulled chip shot that would have tied the game in an eventual 32-27 defeat to Tennessee. The UCLA product is now 82% on field goal attempts this year, which […]

The Houston Texans defense/special teams is in the middle of the pack when it comes to points allowed, but they have been among the most disruptive — which could mean another productive fantasy day in Week 13 against Jacksonville.

Who Should I Start for Fantasy Football Week 13? Isiah Pacheco, Xavier Worthy, Noah Gray

Predicting which skill-position player Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid's gameplan will favor is a form of whack-a-mole, but it's a game in which fantasy managers have to dabble. Yet again, the back-to-back defending Super Bowl champs are atop the AFC, with Reid's offense regularly cooking up innovative ways for quarterback Patrick Mahomes and their […]

Bears Rule Out Elijah Hicks, Ryan Bates For Week 13

The Chicago Bears will be without safety Elijah Hicks (ankle) and reserve offensive lineman Ryan Bates (concussion) during their Thanksgiving Day game at Detroit, according to the club's final Week 13 injury report.

Washington Commanders cornerback Marshon Lattimore (hamstring), who has yet to make his team debut after being acquired in a trade with New Orleans, is on track to practice on Wednesday.

Another Up-And-Down Game For C.J. Stroud

A promising start ended with an ugly defeat for Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud, who finished 20-for-33 for 247 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions in a 32-27 loss to Tennessee.

Nico Collins Returns To Form Against Titans

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins looked like his pre-injury self on Sunday against the Tennessee Titans, hauling in five passes for 92 yards and a touchdown in a 32-27 loss.

Just Two Targets For Dalton Schultz Vs. Titans

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz caught both of his targets for 20 yards in a 32-27 loss to Tennessee.

The Houston […]

First NFL Touchdown For Houston’s Cade Stover

Houston Texans tight end Cade Stover finished with three catches for 26 yards on four targets and caught his first NFL touchdown on Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. It was an all-Ohio State connection, as quarterback C.J. Stroud found the rookie tight end for a 19-yard score in the first quarter. The 24-year-old tight end […]

Decent Day For Houston’s Tank Dell Versus Titans

Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell caught just three passes Sunday but turned them into 72 receiving yards in a 32-27 loss to Tennessee.

We're down to the home stretch of the fantasy regular season, and with six teams (yes, six) on a bye this week, injuries are going to be an even bigger deal. Waiver wires and free-agent pickups are likely to be competitive with some lineup regulars on injury reports this week, including Brock Purdy, CeeDee Lamb, […]

C.J. Stroud Relegated To Superflex Option In Week 12

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud should mostly be kept to Superflex duty as his team takes on the solid Tennessee Titans defense in Week 12. The Ohio State product has had an up-and-down second season, ranking a disappointing 17th among fantasy quarterbacks after his breakout rookie campaign. Part of the struggle has been pass protection, […]

Joe Mixon Takes Hot Streak Against Slumping Titans

Already one of the top-performing fantasy players of the year, Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon faces another decent matchup when his team plays host to the Tennessee Titans in Week 12.

WR1 Potential For Nico Collins Despite Matchup

Back in the lineup after a prolonged absence, Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins is once again a top fantasy option as his team takes on the Tennessee Titans in Week 12.

Tank Dell Faces Tough Matchup Against Titans

The Tennessee Titans present a difficult matchup for Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell in their first meeting of the season in Week 12. The Titans' brutal offense has dragged down the team's record, but their defense ranks an impressive second overall against fantasy wide receivers through 11 weeks. That presents a complicated decision for […]

Dalton Schultz Off Starting Radar In Week 12

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz will face the struggling Tennessee Titans in Week 12, though that's not good news for a mid-tier fantasy player at his position.

Productive Ka'imi Fairbairn An Easy Starting Option Again

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn remains a clear starter once again as his team prepares to take on the slumping Tennessee Titans in Week 12.

Rolling Texans D/ST Has Another Strong Matchup In Week 12

Coming off back-to-back excellent games, the Houston Texans defense/special teams has a chance for another big performance with a home date against the bottom-tier offense of the Tennessee Titans in Week 12.

Uncertainty For Aaron Rodgers After Jets Fire GM

There are "far more questions than answers" surrounding the future of the New York Jets and quarterback Aaron Rodgers, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Eagles Mulling Saquon Barkley’s Goal-Line Work

Philadelphia Eagles coach Nick Sirianni on Monday said running back Saquon Barkley losing out on touches near the goal line is something "you always think about." The Eagles, of course, are devastatingly effective using quarterback Jalen Hurts to sneak the ball in short yardage, but often at the expense of their running backs. Kevin Patra […]
