Houston Texans
DST - Houston Texans
Availability
The Texans D/ST allowed 23 points, 276 passing yards, and 97 rushing yards in the 23-20 win over the Jaguars.
Fantasy Impact
The Texans' defense tallied one interception in the win over Jacksonville. They failed to create pressure on Trevor Lawrence or Mac Jones, only totaling three quarterback hits Sunday. Houston will take on the Dolphins once they return from their bye week.
The Texans' D/ST logged five sacks, one interception, one recovered fumble, and a touchdown while allowing just ten points in Monday night's win over the Dallas Cowboys.
Fantasy Impact
Houston's defense had an amazing performance on Monday night. They logged five sacks and two turnovers on the night, including a fumble recovery that they were able to return for a touchdown. This unit is very good and has great matchups against the Titans and Jaguars coming down the pipeline for the next two games.
The Texans D/ST allowed 26 points while notching five interceptions in a 26-23 loss to the Lions in Week 10.
Fantasy Impact
The Texans dominated Detroit in the first half as they were up 23-7 heading into halftime. Houston's defense was unable to slow the Lions down in the second half, however, as Detroit scored 19 unanswered points to complete the comeback win. Houston was led by Kamari Lassiter, who intercepted Jared Goff twice. They draw a much more favorable matchup against the Cowboys in Week 11.
The Texans D/ST allowed 21 points while notching two sacks and forcing a turnover in a 21-13 loss to the Jets in Week 9's Thursday night game.
Fantasy Impact
Houston held the Jets to 293 total yards and shut them out in the first half but a 14-point fourth quarter was all Aaron Rodgers and company needed to pull off the win. The Texans will have a much tougher test in Week 10 as they take on a red-hot Lions offense.
The Houston Texans D/ST recorded five sacks and two turnovers (an interception and a fumble recovery) in their Week 8 divisional win over Indianapolis.
Fantasy Impact
Houston's five sacks were its most since Week 2 versus the Chicago Bears (seven), and it was the team's third straight game with 2+ turnovers forced. The latter is a promising trend as the Texans forced just three turnovers over their first five weeks. This is an improving unit that faces the struggling New York Jets in Week 9.
