Fantasy Impact
As a result of his tibial plateau fracture suffered in Sunday night's Week 5 loss to the Chiefs, Watt will be sidelined for the remainder of the 2017 season. Expect him to land on the injured reserve list in the coming days. With Whitney Mercilus also done for the year with a torn pectoral and Bruan Cushing on a long suspension, Houston's defense is down three of their star players. Still, they'll likely still garner fantasy consideration in the right matchup.
