DST - Houston Texans
Availability
The Texans D/ST allowed 16 points on 281 total yards with one sack on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
It wasn't the best performance for Houston against a banged up Daniel Jones, but they did enough to win the game. They draw Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs next week.
The Texans D/ST allowed 19 points and 326 yards of total offense, recording a whopping eight sacks and three takeaways in Thursday's win over the Bills.
Fantasy Impact
Given that one of the Bills' two touchdowns came on a kick return, the Texans defense came away looking even more impressive. The unit harassed defending MVP Josh Allen throughout the night, coming away with two interceptions on top of the eight sacks. The Texans defense is legitimately elite, and it will need to live up to that billing once again in Week 13 at Indianapolis.
The Texans defense held the Titans to 13 points on 229 yards of offense, coming up with three sacks and one fumble recovery in Sunday's win.
Fantasy Impact
Houston's defensive unit turned in another strong effort Sunday, not allowing the Titans to find the end zone until late in the fourth quarter. The Texans feature one of the top-ranked defenses in the league, but it will have a much more difficult matchup coming Thursday against the Bills.
The Houston Texans D/ST may have gotten off to a rocky start, but they made it count when it mattered most in the Texans' 36-29 win over Jacksonville, shutting out the Jags in the final frame while the Texans scored 26 unanswered points. Six of those points came on the final play as a Trevor Lawrence fumble was scooped up by the defense for a touchdown. They added five sacks and a pick on top of it all.
Fantasy Impact
It's not how you start, but how you finish, they say. Houston showed once again they are an elite defense, and can shut you down at any time, regardless of how your offense starts the game. They are a solid option for fantasy moving forward.
The Texans' defense allowed 18 points on just 271 yards of offense, recording one sack and forcing two turnovers in Sunday's three-point loss to the Broncos.
Fantasy Impact
The Texans' defense remains one of the stingiest in the league. The unit ran out of steam a little in the fourth quarter, but it held the Broncos to just seven points over the first three. The Texans D/ST is a weekly play for fantasy purposes.
