Opportunity Knocks For Dalton Schultz Against Jets

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz's role as a receiver took a major hit in the offseason, but injuries could change that in Week 9 against the New York Jets.

Reliable Ka'imi Fairbairn A Starting Option Vs. Jets

Fantasy managers who drafted Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn this season likely got the best deal on a kicker relative to draft position, and he once again remains an easy starting option against the New York Jets in Week 9.

Texans D/ST A Mid-Tier Option On Thursday Night Football

The Houston Texans' defense compiled a season-best five sacks last week, but will face a middle-of-the-road matchup against the New York Jets on Thursday.

Tank Dell Catches Touchdown Against Indy

Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell found the end zone on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts, the highlight of a day that included four catches for 35 yards.

Plus Matchup For C.J. Stroud In Week 8

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud has a favorable Week 8 matchup against Indianapolis, welcome news after a rough performance last week at Green Bay in which he failed to crack 100 passing yards.

Houston’s Joe Mixon Among Top RB Options In Week 8

In his first season with the Houston Texans, running back Joe Mixon has been an excellent fantasy option, which should continue in Week 8 against the Indianapolis Colts.

Stefon Diggs A Fringe WR1 In Week 8 Matchup

Houston Texans wide receiver Stefon Diggs remains a high-floor starting lineup option when the Texans take on the Indianapolis Colts in Week 8.

High-Risk, High-Reward Matchup For Tank Dell In Week 8

Coming off his worst game of the year, Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell is a boom-or-bust flex option in a decent matchup in Week 8 against the Indianapolis Colts.

Texans’ Dalton Schultz Risky To Play Despite Matchup

On one hand, Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz has one of his best matchups of the season against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 8.

Texans D/ST A Streaming Option Against Colts

The Houston Texans D/ST should be considered a borderline starting option against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 8. Indianapolis has allowed only four sacks with quarterback Anthony Richardson under center, but hasn't impressed through the air, either. The Colts are a pedestrian 18th in adjusted yards per attempt, 24th in passer rating, and have scored […]

Packers Hold Dalton Schultz To One Catch

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz started his day with a first-quarter catch for 28 yards, but that accounted for all of his receiving production in a 24-22 loss at Green Bay.

Many fantasy football leagues play 14-week regular seasons, which means that we are officially at the halfway point after Week 7.

C.J. Stroud Still In QB1 Territory At Packers

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud enters a Week 7 matchup against Green Bay as a steady QB1 in one of the NFL's top offenses. The Ohio State product has established a nice fantasy floor — five out of six top-15 finishes at his position — but so far, he's only cracked the top five once. […]

Texans’ Xavier Hutchinson A High-Risk Option In Week 7

Houston Texans wide receiver Xavier Hutchinson should continue to see a higher-than-normal volume of snaps, making him a high-risk option in deep leagues for a Week 7 game at Green Bay.

WR1 Potential For Stefon Diggs At Packers

Houston Texans wide receiver Stefon Diggs is in WR1 territory as he prepares to meet his old friends, the Green Bay Packers, during a Week 7 game at Lambeau Field.

Tank Dell In Flex Zone At Green Bay

Coming off his best game of the season, Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell is a solid flex option heading into a Week 7 matchup at Green Bay. The diminutive receiver drew a team-high nine targets in Week 6, which is no coincidence as Houston reconfigures its offense with top receiver Nico Collins (hamstring) on […]

Texans’ Dalton Schultz A TD-Dependent Play At Packers

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz is a fringe starter with some target volume upside in Week 7 at Green Bay. The 28-year-old has been among the letdown draft picks at tight end, ranking 25th at the position through six games. However, the Stanford product still remains a playable option with top Houston receiver Nico […]

Bad Matchup For Texans D/ST In Week 7
