Fantasy Impact:

Speed appeared in 16 games with nine starts in his first season with Houston a year ago. He totaled 62 tackles and three tackles for a loss. It was a far cry from his last season in Indianapolis in 2024 where he ended up with 142 tackles, seven tackles for a loss, and an interception. Speed played more on special teams than he did on defense with Houston as he served as the third linebacker behind Azeez Al-Shaair and Henry To'oTo'o. Barring injuries, he is expected to stay in the same role in 2026 and will likely remain off the IDP fantasy radar.
