Availability
The Texans D/ST allowed 36 points on 409 yards of total offense while coming up with two sacks and no takeaways in Sunday's loss to the Bills.
Fantasy Impact
The Texans should feature a solid defensive unit this season, but they ran into a potent Bills' offense in Week 1. Powered by QB Josh Allen, the Bills shredded the Texans' pass defense, totaling 334 yards and a couple of scores through the air. Houston did come up with a couple of sacks, but Allen mostly had his way. The Texans will face another top-tier QB when Joe Burrow and the Bengals visit Houston in Week 2.
The Texans D/ST allowed 30 points on 354 total yards with one interception, one sack and fumble recoveries on Sunday against the Colts.
Fantasy Impact
Houston sat its starters in the second half. They remain one of the top defenses in the NFL. They'll take on Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers in the Wild Card round.
The Houston Texans D/ST forced two fumbles, an interception, and racked up five sacks in the Texans' 20-16 win over the Chargers.
Fantasy Impact
The Texans put up a dominant performance once again, showing why they are one of the best units in the league. Both star linemen Danielle Hunter and Will Anderson added sacks to their impressive season totals in the win. They're on a hot streak entering the final week of the NFL regular season.
The Texans' D/ST logged three sacks, one interception, and one touchdown while allowing 21 points in Sunday's win over the Las Vegas Raiders.
Fantasy Impact
Houston's defense was slightly disappointing on Sunday by allowing Las Vegas' dismal offense to score 21 points, but they were able to make up for that by scoring a pick-six early on in the game. This is one of the league's best units and should continue to play pretty well for the remainder of the regular season.
The Houston Texans D/ST forced a fumble, a pick, and two sacks in their 40-20 win against the Cardinals.
Fantasy Impact
The Texans' defense showed its strength once again, this time against the Cardinals' offense. They are an elite unit and are startable against nearly any opponent.
