Alfred Blue Has 54 Rushing Yards In Week 13

Houston Texans running back Alfred Blue continued to see double-digit touches in the Texans win against the Browns, and he continued to not do much with those touches. Blue finished with 54 rushing yards on 13 carries. He's a low-tier flex option in deeper standard leagues at this point with little upside and a fairly […]

Demaryius Thomas Catches Three Passes Against Browns

Houston Texans wide receiver Demaryius Thomas recorded three catches for 32 yards in Sunday's win over the Cleveland Browns, continuing a streak of low usage that has plagued his brief Texans career. Thomas has shown he can find the end zone, but Sunday's game gave more evidence to the idea that Thomas is just a […]

Jordan Thomas Catches Touchdown Against Browns

Houston Texans rookie tight end Jordan Thomas caught his fourth touchdown of the season in Sunday's win over the Cleveland Browns. He grabbed all three of his targets for 32 yards. Thomas isn't consistent enough to be a fantasy option in shallower leagues, but he offers deep league streaming potential and should be owned in […]

DeAndre Hopkins Catches Seven Passes Against Browns

Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins caught seven passes for 91 yards in Sunday's win over the Cleveland Browns. It was the second game in a row where Hopkins failed to find the end zone. With the running game working for Houston, quarterback Deshaun Watson isn't throwing as much, which has lowered Hopkins' ceiling somewhat. […]

Lamar Miller Has Another 100-Yard Game

Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller rushed for 103 yards on 19 carries in Sunday's win over the Cleveland Browns. He added 12 yards on one reception. Miller has looked rejuvenated as of late for the Texans and appears to be a solid RB2 option for fantasy owners at this point heading into Week 14's […]

Deshaun Watson Throws Touchdown Against Browns

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson threw for 224 yards on 22-for-31 passing in Sunday's win over the Cleveland Browns. He threw for one touchdown and didn't turn the ball over.

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal scored 22 points on 8-for-17 shooting in Saturday's win over the Brooklyn Nets. He added three rebounds and a block as well.

Jarrett Allen Quiet Against Wizards

Brooklyn Nets center Jarrett Allen scored six points on 3-for-4 shooting in Saturday's loss to the Washington Wizards. He added eight rebounds as well. Allen had entered the game with three consecutive double-doubles, but he wasn't able to make things happen against a lackluster Wizards defense. He could be in for another tough time on […]

Demaryius Thomas A Boom-Or-Bust Option

Houston Texans wide receiver Demaryius Thomas has two touchdowns in his three games as a Texan, but has also grabbed just seven catches and went without a single target in one of those games. He gives quarterback Deshaun Watson a good target in the red zone, but his usage so far suggests that Thomas is […]

DeAndre Hopkins Should Remain A Top Option In Week 13

Despite coming off one of his worst performances of the season, Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins should remain in the conversation to finish as a top-10 wide receiver against the Browns in Week 13. Cleveland allows the seventh-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers, while Hopkins has finished with 100-yards or a touchdown in […]

Lamar Miller Is A Strong Option In Week 13

Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller has three 100-yard performances in his past five games and could add to that number on Sunday against a Cleveland team that is allowing the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing running backs. Miller has the potential to explode for huge gains, and while the presence of Alfred Blue and […]

Deshaun Watson Should See Success Against Browns

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson hasn't been throwing for video-game yards like many expected heading into his second NFL campaign, but he's still been an effective quarterback and should put up strong numbers against the Browns on Sunday.

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Jimmy Butler was held to 11 points on 5-for-13 shooting on Friday as Philadelphia easily took care of the Wizards and didn't play their starters for most of the fourth quarter.
