The raw production was not quite there for Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell in Week 1, but he still has potential as a home-run hitter in an exciting offense and will look to bounce back against the Chicago Bears.

Stefon Diggs A High-Floor WR2 In Week 2 Matchup Against The Bears

Houston Texans wide receiver Stefon Diggs won't score twice in every game like he did in Week 1, but his Houston debut nonetheless had positive signs for fantasy purposes.

Ka'imi Fairbairn Remains Strong K1 Candidate In Week 2

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn will look to build on last week's performance in Sunday's matchup against the Chicago Bears.

C.J. Stroud A Steady QB1 Option In Week 1

At his ADP this season, most fantasy managers drafted Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud to start him every week, and Week 1 against the Indianapolis Colts should be no exception.

Volume Should Keep Joe Mixon In Fantasy Lineups Against Indy

Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon has one of the most apparent fantasy situations for any running back in the NFL and should be in starting lineups as long as he's healthy.

Stefon Diggs A High-Floor WR2 Option In Texans Debut

A longtime fantasy staple, Houston Texans wide receiver Stefon Diggs isn't a clear first option anymore, but he still has WR2 or flex value in Week 1 against the Indianapolis Colts.

Tank Dell Is A High-Risk, High-Reward WR2 In Week 1

Electric as a rookie last season, Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell and his new role on the team will be one of fantasy football's big questions heading into Week 1 against the Indianapolis Colts.

Ka'imi Fairbairn Strong Candidate To Finish As Week 1's Top Scoring Kicker

As the kicker on one of the NFL's better offenses, Houston's Ka'imi Fairbairn is a low-end K1 in Week 1 for the Texans' matchup against the Indianapolis Colts.

Turnover Potential For Texans D/ST Against Colts
