Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud was pressured 174 times during the 2024 regular season, which led the NFL in that category.
Huddle Up: Stroud lost several of his receivers to injury this season, so he had to work with new receivers some weeks. He finished the season with 3,727 passing yards and 20 touchdowns in 17 games. He probably will be a low-end No. 1 or a high-end No. 2 quarterback in most fantasy leagues next season.

Houston Texans WR Tank Dell (knee) does not have a timetable for his return at this point since it is too early in his recovery, according to head coach DeMeco Ryans.
Huddle Up: Dell suffered a serious knee injury near the end of the season, so there is a good chance that he will not be ready for the start of the 2025 season. Fantasy players will need to monitor the situation during the offseason because Dell can be at least a flex option when healthy.

Houston Texans RB Joe Mixon (ankle) is officially active for the Divisional Round playoff game.
Huddle Up: Mixon did not practice much during the week but should see plenty of touches against the Kansas City Chiefs. He has played well this season and should be a starting option in all fantasy leagues.

Houston Texans TE Teagan Quitoriano (calf) will not travel with the team this weekend and has been ruled for the team's Divisional Round game versus the Kansas City Chiefs.
Posted 1/17/2025 1:51 pm GMT
Updating previous reports, Houston Texans RB Joe Mixon (ankle) has a good chance of playing Saturday, Jan. 18, against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Huddle Up: Mixon suffered the ankle injury at some point this week, and Dameon Pierce could see a larger load than normal. Mixon would be an RB2 in playoff leagues if he's able to go, but Pierce looks to be a flex candidate.

Houston Texans TE Dalton Schultz (shoulder) fully participated in practice Thursday, Jan. 16, and is not on the injury report for the Divisional Round playoff game.
Huddle Up: Schultz should see some targets in the passing game against the Kansas City Chiefs this week but has been held to under 30 yards in each of his last three games. He could be a possible starting option in fantasy leagues but is not a must-start option.
Posted 1/16/2025 10:18 pm GMT
Houston Texans WR Robert Woods (hip) did not participate in practice Thursday, Jan. 16, and is listed as questionable for the Divisional Round playoff game.
Huddle Up: Woods missed all three practices this week and probably will not be available for the game. Fantasy players can check the inactive list for his official status but should be able to find other options for their lineups.
Posted 1/16/2025 3:31 pm GMT
Houston Texans WR Tank Dell (knee) had the first of several surgeries on his injured knee Thursday, Jan. 16.
Huddle Up: There's no timetable for his return, but he shouldn't be counted on for 2025 drafts. He suffered tears to his ACL, MCL and LCL while also suffering damage to his meniscus and a dislocated kneecap.
Posted 1/15/2025 10:25 pm GMT
Houston Texans TE Dalton Schultz (shoulder) was limited during practice Wednesday, Jan. 15.
Huddle Up: Schultz seems to have a good chance to be available and likely will see a handful of targets if he plays. He posted only 23 yards in the Wild Card playoff game and is only a possible starting option in some leagues.
Posted 1/15/2025 10:22 pm GMT
Houston Texans RB Joe Mixon (ankle) was limited during practice Wednesday, Jan. 15.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players should monitor the situation to see if Mixon is in any danger of missing the playoff game. He will be a significant part of the offense if he plays and should be a starting option in all leagues.
Posted 1/15/2025 10:19 pm GMT
Houston Texans WR Robert Woods (hip) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Jan. 15.
Huddle Up: Woods has missed the first two practices of the week and seems to be questionable at best for the Divisional Round playoff game. He will only see a few targets if he plays and can be avoided in fantasy leagues.
Posted 1/14/2025 11:45 pm GMT
Houston Texans WR Nico Collins (rest) was a limited participant at practice Tuesday, Jan. 14.
Huddle Up: Collins should be good to go and a focal point of the offense coming off a 7-122-1 receiving line in Houston's wild-card win. He's a strong starting option in DFS and playoff leagues against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Posted 1/14/2025 6:32 pm GMT
Houston Texans WR Diontae Johnson was waived on Tuesday, Jan. 14.
Huddle Up: Johnson is moving on from his fourth team in less than a year. He must have worn out his welcome with or asked for his release from the Texans, who need help at the position with Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell both out for the season. There is little doubt he still has something left after what he did with the Carolina Panthers earlier this season, but he could be waiting a while to find a new home after being traded twice and waived twice in 10 months.
Posted 1/10/2025 3:37 pm GMT
Houston Texans WR Diontae Johnson will continue to be fed in the offense, according to head coach DeMeco Ryans.
Huddle Up: He had two catches for 12 yards on four targets in the season finale. He'll be a suspect WR3 or flex option in playoff leagues.
Posted 1/10/2025 1:14 am GMT
Houston Texans WR John Metchie (shoulder) is expected to play in the Wild Card playoff game despite being listed as questionable to the game.
Huddle Up: Metchie likely will be targeted a few times against the Los Angeles Chargers this week but can be avoided in most fantasy leagues.
Posted 1/08/2025 11:21 pm GMT
Houston Texans WR John Metchie (shoulder) was limited during practice Wednesday, Jan. 8.
Huddle Up: Metchie has been targeted 16 times over the last three games but has not posted more than 48 yards in any of those games. He probably will see a few targets this week if he plays but can be avoided in most leagues.
Posted 1/05/2025 9:30 pm GMT
Houston Texans TE Dalton Schultz caught three passes for 29 yards against the Tennessee Titans in Week 18. He was targeted three times during the game.
Huddle Up: Schultz has been targeted at least six times in three of the last five games but posted at least 50 yards in only one of those games. He will see a few targets next week but could be a possible low-end No. 1 tight end in some leagues.
Posted 1/05/2025 9:27 pm GMT
Houston Texans WR Nico Collins caught five passes for 38 yards and one touchdown against the Tennessee Titans in Week 18. He was targeted five times during the game.
Huddle Up: Collins is the main option in the passing game for the Texans and has posted at least five receptions in four of the last six games. He will see a good amount of targets during the Wild Card game and should be a starting option in fantasy leagues.
Posted 1/05/2025 9:23 pm GMT
Houston Texans WR Robert Woods caught two passes for 39 yards against the Tennessee Titans in Week 18. He was targeted three times during the game.
Huddle Up: Woods has been more involved in the passing game over the last few weeks but has posted at least 40 yards in only one game this season. He may see a few targets next week but should be avoided in fantasy leagues.
Posted 1/05/2025 9:20 pm GMT
Houston Texans RB Joe Mixon rushed for 23 yards on five carries against the Tennessee Titans in Week 18. He also caught one pass for five yards during the game.
Huddle Up: Mixon saw limited touches against the Titans because the team had already clinched a playoff spot. He should see plenty of touches during the Wild Card playoff game and should be a starting option in all leagues.
Posted 1/05/2025 9:17 pm GMT
Houston Texans RB Dameon Pierce rushed for 176 yards and one touchdown on 19 carries against the Tennessee Titans in Week 18.
Huddle Up: Joe Mixon received limited touches this week, so Pierce made the most of his opportunity in the running game. He probably will only see a handful of touches during the Wild Card playoff game and can be avoided in most leagues.
Posted 1/05/2025 9:11 pm GMT
Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud went 6-for-6 for 50 yards and one touchdown against the Tennessee Titans in Week 18.
Huddle Up: The Texans clinched the No. 4 seen in the AFC before the game, so Stroud did not see much playing time against the Titans. He has been held to under 250 yards in each of his last six games but could still be a low-end No. 1 quarterback in fantasy leagues next week.
Posted 1/02/2025 9:34 pm GMT
Houston Texans RB Joe Mixon (rest) was a full participant in practice on Thursday, Jan. 2, after being limited the day before.
Huddle Up: Mixon remains a locked-in RB1 entering Week 18, but head coach DeMeco Ryans did not commit to playing Houston's starters for the entire game with the Texans having nothing to play for. Start him at your own risk.
Posted 1/02/2025 9:32 pm GMT
Houston Texans WR Nico Collins (rest) practiced in full on Thursday, Jan. 2, after being limited the day before.
Huddle Up: There was never any concern with Collins, who was just getting a rest day. There is a concern, however, about how much the Texans' starters will play after head coach DeMeco Ryans did not commit to them playing a whole game. Collins remains a WR1 play entering Week 18, but there's a good chance he doesn't play much with the Texans having nothing to play for.
Posted 1/02/2025 12:42 am GMT
Houston Texans RB Joe Mixon (non-injury) was limited during practice Wednesday, Jan. 1.
Huddle Up: The Texans have indicated that they will not rest their starters, so Mixon should see a good amount of touches in Week 18. He is a weekly starting option in all fantasy leagues.
Posted 1/02/2025 12:38 am GMT
Houston Texans WR Nico Collins (non-injury) was limited during practice Wednesday, Jan. 1.
Huddle Up: Collins will be active for the Week 18 game, but it is not known if he plays the entire game since the Texans do not have much to play for in terms of playoff seeding. He should be a starting option in fantasy leagues at this point.
Posted 1/01/2025 8:30 pm GMT
Houston Texans WR Diontae Johnson will receive some playing time during the Week 18 game, according to head coach DeMeco Ryans.
Huddle Up: Johnson joined the team last week, so he probably will see limited snaps during the regular season finale. He may see a few targets during the game but can be avoided in most leagues.
