Notes for Player Combination
	Houston Texans DST - HOU HOU	New Orleans Saints DST - NO NO
Expert
Andrew Erickson FantasyPros	No. 1-highest scoring projected DST after finishing as the DST2 in 2025. Third-fewest PPG allowed. The Texans have been a top-5 fantasy unit for two straight seasons. They do draw two tougher matchups to start the year, versus Buffalo and Cincinnati.	Brutal stretch to start the year (toughest for the first two weeks).
