Fantasy Impact:

Houston is dealing with a serious ankle injury that will leave him sidelined for somewhere between 6-8 weeks. The team has placed him on IR, which confirms that he will be out for four weeks at the very least. Detroit already has a think group of pass rushers, so losing the second-year edge will force them to go deeper on the depth chart to try to find production.
