Kirk Cousins - Still Underrated?

In 2018, Kirk Cousins finished as the fantasy QB13, which is just at the edge of the QB1 tier. So why did Fantasy Football Twitter collectively decide that Cousins was a complete bust last season?

But Lee, who was just […]

Jordan Akins Has Impressive Training Camp

Houston Texans tight end Jordan Akins was picked by Aaron Reiss of The Athletic as the most improved player at Texans' training camp this year.

Taiwan Jones Starts Against Lions

Houston Texans running back Taiwan Jones started Saturday's preseason win over the Detroit Lions. He rushed once for five yards. While Jones wasn't very involved offensively, head coach Bill O'Brien's decision to go with him as the starter with Lamar Miller and Duke Johnson out suggests that Jones may be in the lead for the […]

Karan Higdon Sees Early Work

Houston Texans running back Karan Higdon saw work early in Houston's preseason win over the Detroit Lions on Saturday, but he wasn't able to do much with those touches. Higdon had seven carries for 13 yards and wasn't targeted in the passing game. Higdon getting playing time with the starting offense is a good sign […]

Damarea Crockett Has Eight Carries Against Lions

Houston Texans running back Damarea Crockett had eight carries for 32 yards in Saturday's preseason win against the Detroit Lions.

Buddy Howell Scores Against Lions

Houston Texans running back Buddy Howell played a key role in Saturday's preseason win over the Detroit Lions, rushing 15 times for 84 yards and a touchdown. He wasn't targeted in the passing game.

Deshaun Watson Tosses Preseason Touchdown

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson played one series in Saturday's preseason win over the Detroit Lions, going 5-for-7 for 60 yards and a touchdown.

Marqise Lee Removed From PUP List

In a bit of a surprising move, the Jacksonville Jaguars have taken wide receiver Marqise Lee (knee) off the Physically Unable to Perform list.
