C.J. Prosise News
Houston Texans running back C.J. Prosise was released Monday, thereby shortening the team's backfield options for Week 17 versus Tennessee. Prosise appeared in a career-high 10 games with the Texans this year, carrying the ball 10 times for 19 yards, while also adding his first receiving touchdown. Having battled an ankle injury as of late, it's unlikely that Prosise would both be added by a new team and clear his ailment in time to take the field to close out 2020. The transaction all but confirms that David Johnson is expected to handle another whopping workload versus the Titans, with Buddy Howell likely to serve as his backup should Duke Johnson (neck) not get the thumbs up to return.
Houston Texans running backs Duke Johnson (neck) and C.J. Prosise (ankle) will both be absent from Sunday's game versus the Colts. Their absence leaves the Houston backfield extremely thin, but also paves the way for David Johnson to serve as the unabated bell cow. While Duke Johnson has retained a modest role even with David back in the fold, neither Duke nor Prosise merits much fantasy intrigue at this stage. Even with Buddy Howell serving as the only other active rusher, David Johnson has a tough path to success Sunday with the Colts Defense having yielded fewer than 100 yards rushing per game in 2020. Johnson found the end zone in his last outing against Indianapolis in Week 13 and should receive nearly all goal line RB carries Sunday, giving him an elevated chance to rack up another score.
Houston Texans running back C.J. Prosise (illness) did not take part in practice on Wednesday due to a non-COVID-19-related illness. Prosise had a season-high five carries for 12 yards and caught a two-yard pass for a touchdown in the Thanksgiving win over the Lions last week as the backup to Duke Johnson. He saw some notable work in the red zone in Week 12 and should continue to see a bigger role until David Johnson returns from Injured Reserve, but Prosise still isn't seeing enough touches to be considered a realistic flex option, even in the deepest of leagues. Buddy Howell and rookie Scottie Phillips would be called on to step up behind Johnson if Prosise is unable to play in Week 13 against the Colts.
