Texans vs. Saints NFL Preseason DFS Picks

Houston Texans Targets

Tank Dell (WR – HOU)

The rookie out of Houston got to stay in town, and now he’s doing great with the pro team. Tank found the end zone in his last game, and he should get the playing time, get more reps, and come away with a good performance.

New Orleans Saints Targets

Jake Haener (QB – NO)

There has been a former Fresno State quarterback on the Saints playing well in the preseason, Jake Haener. He’s been under center in the entire second half of both games and has thrown for 223 yards and a 61.8% completion rate. He should see that same volume of playing time in this game.

Kendre Miller (RB – NO)

Despite leaving the first preseason game with a knee injury, he bounced back and led the backfield with ten carries for 23 yards and a touchdown in the second game. Most starters will miss the final preseason game, but as a rookie, we might see Miller get more time on the field.
