Houston Texans

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.

Ka'imi Fairbairn made both of his field goal attempts and converted 4-of-4 extra point attempts in Monday's 34-10 win over the Dallas Cowboys.

Fantasy Impact: Fairbairn did his job on Monday night. He made all six of his kicks in the team's win over Dallas, which left him with a total of ten points on the night. Fantasy managers should be well pleased with this performance from the veteran.

Dameon Pierce rushed the ball one time for two yards in Monday's 34-10 win over the Dallas Cowboys.

Fantasy Impact: There was nothing to hear out of Pierce on Monday. He saw just one touch over the course of the game, as opposed to Joe Mixon, who saw 22 touches and turned that into 150+ yards and three touchdowns. Pierce has no standalone fantasy value for the foreseeable future.

John Metchie III caught three passes for 33 yards in Monday's 34-10 win over the Dallas Cowboys.

Fantasy Impact: Nico Collins made his return to the lineup on Monday night, so Metchie wasn't able to follow up on the nice performance that he had in Week 10. He caught just three passes on the night, and C.J. Stroud wasn't looking his way all that much. He will remain off of the fantasy radar unless someone ahead of him on the depth chart goes down.

Dalton Schultz hauled in 5-of-7 targets for 33 yards in Monday's 34-10 win over the Dallas Cowboys.

Fantasy Impact: Schultz saw good involvement on Monday night. He led the team in receptions in a win over the Cowboys, but he wasn't able to do much beyond that. It's encouraging to see a strong target share from him, but fantasy managers shouldn't be expecting him to play a primary role in the passing game with Nico Collins back and on the field for Houston.

Tank Dell caught four passes for 54 yards in Monday's 34-10 win over the Dallas Cowboys.

Fantasy Impact: Dell had a solid night on Monday. He totaled 54 yards on four catches, and while that didn't lead to much success from a fantasy standpoint, he performed well enough to not put up a stinker. His fantasy value is set to decrease with Nico Collins now back in the lineup for Houston.

Nico Collins caught 4-of-7 targets for 54 yards in Monday's 34-10 win over the Dallas Cowboys.

Fantasy Impact: Monday marked Collins' first game back from a hamstring injury that recently left him sidelined for a good chunk of the season. He played okay and led the team in receiving yards, but the offense was more focused on the running game against Dallas, which didn't do him any favors. Fantasy managers should expect him to be one of the best wide receivers over the back half of the season, if he can stay healthy.

Joe Mixon rushed the ball 20 times for 109 yards and three touchdowns and caught two passes for 44 yards in Monday night's 34-10 win over the Dallas Cowboys.

Fantasy Impact: Mixon was absolutely dominant on Monday night. He totaled over 150 yards on the night and scored three touchdowns on the ground en route to an easy win over the Cowboys. He has been elite when healthy so far this year, and he is in the conversation for overall RB1 for the rest of the season if he can stay healthy.

C.J. Stroud completed 23-of-34 passing attempts for 257 yards and an interception in Monday's 34-10 win over the Dallas Cowboys.

Fantasy Impact: The Texans were able to pick up an easy win over the Cowboys on Monday, but Stroud didn't find much success on an individual level. He didn't score a touchdown over the course of the game, and that combined with his interception left him with an underwhelming fantasy total. Fantasy managers should expect him to perform better in the near future with Nico Collins back in the lineup for Houston.

Fantasy Impact: The former first round pick out of Ohio State has been sidelined since Week 1 after sustaining a quadriceps injury. It is unknown how much he will see the field vs. the Cowboys.

Will Anderson Jr. (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 11 for the Houston Texans against the Dallas Cowboys. (Source: Aaron Wilson on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Anderson Jr. was unable to practice to end the week and will now sit out the Monday night contest, leaving the Texans without the disruptive defensive lineman against the Cowboys Monday night.

Mario Edwards Jr. was reinstated from his four-game suspension. (Source: Aaron Wilson on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Edwards was suspended for four games for violating the league’s substance abuse policy. He should return to his starting role where he had recorded two sacks.

Xavier Hutchinson caught two of his four targets for six yards in a 26-23 loss to the Lions in Week 10.

Fantasy Impact: Hutchinson was quiet despite Nico Collins (hamstring) missing another game. The Texans don't appear to be overly intent on getting the ball into Hutchinson's hands. He will take on the Cowboys in Week 11's Monday night game.

Robert Woods caught one of his three targets for a one-yard gain in a 26-23 loss to the Lions in Week 10.

Fantasy Impact: Woods was quiet despite Nico Collins (hamstring) missing another game. The veteran wideout has just eight catches for 91 yards in eight games this season and is not a fantasy consideration heading into a Week 11 matchup against the Cowboys.

Dare Ogunbowale carried the ball once for 11 yards in a 26-23 loss to the Lions in Week 10.

Fantasy Impact: Ogunbowale was barely used with Joe Mixon handling 25 of the team's 28 rushes. The veteran running back does not need to be on fantasy rosters heading into Week 11 against the Cowboys.

The Texans placed Kenyon Green on injured reserve. (Source: Jonathan M Alexander on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: It was originally thought that Green could miss the rest of the season. He'll miss at least the next four games in the meantime.

The Houston Texans traded Khalil Davis to the San Francisco 49ers in exchange for a 2026 seventh-round draft pick according to Ian Rapoport. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Davis will add depth to the San Francisco defensive line as the team tries to stay in playoff contention in the wide-open NFC West.

The Texans designated Jerry Hughes to return from injured reserve. (Source: Aaron Wilson on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Hughes has been sidelined since October 5. He'll have the next 21 days to officially be activated.

The Texans signed RB J.J. Taylor to their practice squad. (Source: Houston Texans on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: This move comes as Dameon Pierce was ruled out for Thursday's game against the Jets. He should hold a depth role in the Texans backfield with Joe Mixon remaining in his workhorse role.

Fantasy Impact: Ward missed practice again on Wednesday after he returned on Tuesday. He was one of four players ruled out for Thursday's game.
