Houston Texans WR Jayden Higgins has been targeted at least five times in four straight games, and during that stretch, he is averaging 4.5 catches, 7 targets and 50 receiving yards while scoring twice.
Huddle Up: While Higgins is not going to have a high ceiling, he has emerged as a steady No. 2 receiver behind Nico Collins. He can offer a safe floor as a WR4 or flex option in deeper formats.

Houston Texans RB Woody Marks (ankle) practiced in full on Friday, Dec. 5, and no longer appears on the injury report.
Huddle Up: Marks has become the main back for the Texans in recent weeks and also an asset in fantasy. He can be an RB2 or flex option for you in your Week 14 lineups.

Houston Texans S Jaylen Reed (arm) and LB Jamal Hill (hamstring) did not practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 14 against the Kansas City Chiefs. CB Kamari Lassiter (foot) was limited in practice on Friday, Dec. 5, and is listed as questionable. LB Azeez Al-Shaair (knee), RB Woody Marks (ankle), LB Will Anderson Jr. (chest, shoulder), and LB Jamal Hill (hamstring), OT Trent Brown (hand), and DL Denico Autry (knee) practiced in full on Friday and no longer appear on the injury report.

Houston Texans RB Woody Marks (foot) returned to practice on Thursday, Dec. 4, after missing it the day before.
Huddle Up: Marks has become the lead back for the Texans in recent weeks, and his return to practice is a good sign. He can be installed into your lineup as an RB2 or flex option in Week 14.

Houston Texans RB Woody Marks (foot) was not seen at the public portion of practice on Wednesday, Dec. 3.
Huddle Up: Marks has emerged as the lead back in the Texans' offense in recent weeks. He has not found the endzone often, but he is getting the workload. He downplayed the injury he suffered in Week 13, so check back on his status ahead of Sunday.

Houston Texans TE Dalton Schultz caught seven of eight targets for 55 yards in a Week 13 win over the Indianapolis Colts.
Huddle Up: Schultz tied his second most receptions of the season and has five or more grabs in eight games this season, but he has reached the end zone only once. He's top-10 at his position in receiving yards but his lack of scores prevents him from being a full-time TE1. Still, he's in that tier of tight ends and can be counted on when called upon.

Houston Texans WR Xavier Hutchinson caught two of five targets for 39 yards in a Week 13 win over the Indianapolis Colts.
Huddle Up: The five targets was one shy of his season high and five more than Christian Kirk in this one. Hutchinson, like Kirk, is not fantasy relevant in any formats
Posted 11/30/2025 10:50 pm GMT
Houston Texans WR Christian Kirk was not targeted in a Week 13 win over the Indianapolis Colts.
Huddle Up: It's been a down season for Kirk, who has played in just eight games due to injury and hasn't been able to find a connection with either Houston quarterback.
Posted 11/30/2025 10:44 pm GMT
Houston Texans WR Jayden Higgins caught all five of his targets for 65 yards in a Week 13 win over the Indianapolis Colts.
Huddle Up: The rookie tied his career high with five catches and set a career high with 65 receiving yards. He had six targets in his previous four games. Higgins, despite his best performance, is not a fantasy option in any format.
Posted 11/30/2025 10:39 pm GMT
Houston Texans RB Nick Chubb ran nine times for 34 yards and a touchdown in a Week 13 win over the Indianapolis Colts.
Huddle Up: Chubb, who scored on a 4-yard run in the second quarter, continues to lose carries to Woody Marks each week. The 34 yards was his fewest since 16 at Seattle on Oct. 20. He's only worth rostering as a deep back-up in case of multiple injuries.
Posted 11/30/2025 10:32 pm GMT
Houston Texans RB Woody Marks ran 19 times for 64 yards and caught one pass for three yards in a Week 13 win over the Indianapolis Colts.
Huddle Up: Marks, who went to the locker room in the first quarter with a foot injury but returned and finished the game, recorded a career high in carries and posted his third most rush yards. He's now carried 10+ times in seven straight games and is taking over as RB1 in Houston over Nick Chubb, although Chubb scored a touchdown. With the added workload, Marks can be a low-end RB2 option in most formats with some possible upside down the road.
Posted 11/30/2025 10:24 pm GMT
Houston Texans WR Nico Collins caught five of 10 targets for 98 yards and scored a rushing touchdown in a Week 13 win over the Indianapolis Colts.
Huddle Up: Collins scored the tie-breaking touchdown on a 7-yard run with 12:38 to play that was the eventual game-winner. Collins has been targeted 10-plus times in five of the last six games after just once in the first five contests. He was two yards shy of his third 100-yard receiving day. Collins could be a low-end WR1 in most formats but an exceptional WR2.
Posted 11/30/2025 10:20 pm GMT
Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud completed 22 of 35 for 276 yards with no touchdowns and one interception in a Week 13 win over the Indianapolis Colts.
Huddle Up: Stroud, who cleared the concussion protocol Friday, was playing his first game in four weeks after leaving the Week 9 game against the Denver Broncos. His 276 yards passing in this one was his second-most this season, and Sunday was the second time in games he's finished that he didn't toss a touchdown. Stroud is a low-end QB1 but preferred QB2 in most formats.
Posted 11/30/2025 7:11 pm GMT
Updating a previous report, Houston Texans RB Woody Marks (foot) was able to return to the Week 13 game after missing some time because of a foot injury.
Huddle Up: Woods will continue to share playing time with Nick Chubb moving forward and can be at least a flex option in fantasy leagues.
Posted 11/28/2025 10:09 pm GMT
Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud (concussion) fully participated in practice Friday, Nov. 28, and is not on the injury report for Week 13.
Huddle Up: Stroud has been medically cleared to play after missing some time because of his concussion. He has thrown for at least two touchdowns on only three of his eight games this season but can still be a low-end No. 1 quarterback in some leagues this week.
Posted 11/28/2025 7:14 pm GMT
Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud (concussion) cleared protocol and will play in Week 13, according to head coach DeMeco Ryans.
Huddle Up: Stroud was on a positive stretch of games before his concussion two weeks ago. The Colts' defense is going to challenge him, but he should still be installed into your fantasy lineups.
Posted 11/26/2025 10:12 pm GMT
Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud (concussion) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Nov. 26.
Huddle Up: Stroud seems to have a good chance to play in the Week 13 game as long as he passes his concussion tests. He can be a starting option in two-quarterback leagues if he is able to play but can probably be avoided in most standard leagues.
Posted 11/24/2025 7:33 pm GMT
Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud (concussion) is still going through the concussion protocol at this time but is expected to be cleared soon and may be available for the Week 13 game.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players will need to monitor Stroud's practice participation during the week to have a better understanding of his availability for Week 13. He can be a starting option in two-quarterback leagues if he returns to the lineup this week but can probably be avoided in standard leagues.
Posted 11/23/2025 2:23 am GMT
Houston Texans RB Woody Marks is averaging 17.3 touches over the past three games, and RB Nick Chubb is averaging 5.3 touches over that same span.
Huddle Up: Chubb operated as the lead back for most of the season, but the Texans have made the decision to turn the backfield over to Marks in recent weeks. The rookie has responded by topping 70 total yards in two of the last three games, and Houston has won three straight. At minimum, Marks should be a steady flex option the rest of the way, and he could push for RB2 numbers some weeks.

Houston Texans TE Dalton Schultz had one catch (on four targets) for nine yards during the team's Week 12 win over the Buffalo Bills.
Huddle Up: Schultz had seen his production go up with Davis Mills under center, but that was not the case on Thursday night, and now C.J. Stroud (concussion) is set to return. In Stroud's seven full games this season, Schultz averaged just 44 yards per game without a touchdown. We'll see if that trend continues in Week 13. For now, Schultz is worth owning exclusively in leagues deep enough to carry a TE2.
Posted 11/21/2025 7:06 am GMT
Houston Texans WR Jayden Higgins caught four passes for 38 yards and a touchdown against the Buffalo Bills in Week 12. He was targeted a team-high nine times.
Huddle Up: Over the last three weeks, Higgins has been targeted 23 times, hauling in 13 of those targets for 135 yards and 2 TDs. That's the good news. The bad news is all of that came with Davis Mills under center. Prior to that, the rookie never even reached 35 yards in any of the eight games started by C.J. Stroud (concussion), who's set to return in Week 13. Higgins is definitely worth owning in deeper leagues, and even those in standard formats might consider stashing him in case his recent strong play continues under Stroud.
Posted 11/21/2025 6:51 am GMT
Houston Texans WR Christian Kirk had five receptions (on six targets) for 54 yards and a touchdown in a Week 12 win over the Buffalo Bills.
Huddle Up: By pretty much any measure, Kirk has been a disappointment in his first season with the Texans, battling injuries and doing little in the games he's appeared -- entering play on Thursday night he'd topped 30 yards in a game just once this season. We'll see if his 5-54-1 effort against the Bills helps get his season on track or if he'll be right back on the struggle bus in Week 13. If you're desperate for help in deeper leagues, you might want to take a flier on Kirk. For everyone else, a wait-and-see approach is sufficient.
Posted 11/21/2025 6:35 am GMT
Houston Texans WR Nico Collins had three receptions (on three targets) for a team-high 55 yards against the Buffalo Bills in Week 12.
Huddle Up: Despite leading the Texans in receiving, it was a disappointing showing for Collins, who had logged 23 catches (on 36 targets) for 303 yards in his previous three games combined. While it was good to see Collins start delivering at least WR2 value, the vast majority of it came with Davis Mills at quarterback. Mills is ticketed for the bench in Week 13 as C.J. Stroud (concussion) is expected to return from injury. We'll see if Collins and Stroud can show the same chemistry.
Posted 11/21/2025 6:25 am GMT
Houston Texans RB Nick Chubb had 16 yards on six carries against the Buffalo Bills in Week 12. He also had one catch for minus-one yard.
Huddle Up: If there was any lingering doubt, Thursday night in a huge game against a tough opponent, Woody Marks got 17 touches to seven for Chubb, and the rookie was more effective with them. Unless Marks gets injured or starts having ball security issues, it's hard to see a path for Chubb to get back into playable fantasy territory again. Perhaps those in deeper leagues might want to roster him for depth, but that's about his ceiling right now.
Posted 11/21/2025 6:09 am GMT
Houston Texans RB Woody Marks ran the ball 16 times for 74 yards in Week 12 against the Buffalo Bills. Marks also had one reception for minus-five yards.
Huddle Up: It took a while, but Marks has cemented himself as the lead back in Houston, logging 48 carries over the last three games to just 14 for Chubb. Prior to Thursday night, it seemed plausible that Marks saw more work on Sunday against the Titans to keep Chubb fresh for a bigger matchup with the Bills, but clearly the team simply prefers what the rookie brings to the table. That's good news for all involved, including Marks' fantasy owners as he's now a reliable RB3/flex that has a shot at pushing toward RB2 territory as the season winds down.
Posted 11/21/2025 5:53 am GMT
Houston Texans QB Davis Mills completed 16 of 30 passes for 153 yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions during the team's Week 12 win over the Buffalo Bills. He also ran twice for four yards.
Huddle Up: While the numbers weren't great, it's hard to overstate the role Mills has played in saving Houston's season, going 3-0 while C.J. Stroud (concussion) was laid up with a concussion. Barring something unforeseen, Mills will head back to the bench in Week 13 as Stroud is expected to return against the Colts. If you picked up Mills as a short-term solution, you can safely move on.
