Justin Houston

Houston fell one sack short of setting the all-time single-season record for sacks back in 2013 when he registered a ridiculous 22 of them. He struggled with serious knee injuries the next years which limited him to just 16 games during that span. He said he's finally fully healthy and feels the best he's had in a long time. This gives us reason for optimism and I think 14-15 sacks are will within reach seven-year veteran out of Georgia. Even at those levels, he remains a boom/bust LB3 in standard leagues given his relatively low tackle production.

Justin Houston officially active against Steelers

Justin Houston is officially active for Sunday night's Divisional Round matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Houston had been listed as questionable and was a limited participant in practice this week as he continues to work through a knee injury.

Fantasy Impact

Justin Houston being active could be huge for a Chiefs defense that will likely need him to help negate the impact of Pittsburgh's big three, especially in the passing game. The Kansas City defense is one of the better units in the league, with our without Houston, but they will definitely be happy to have him out there rushing the passer.
