Robert Woods Not Recommended Against Ravens

Following two serious injuries ahead of him, wide receiver Robert Woods of the Houston Texans could find himself as a popular, but not recommended, waiver-wire addition going into a Christmas Day meeting against Baltimore.

Despite Opportunity, Dalton Schultz Still In TE2 Range

Great Matchup For Ka'imi Fairbairn In Week 17

Texans D/ST Avoidable In Christmas Day Game
