Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell hauled in just one of three targets for 16 yards in Sunday's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The rookie was unable to build on a big Week 3, instead being overshadowed by impressive games from Nico Collins and Dalton Schultz. Although Collins has cemented himself as Houston's top wide receiver, there is still room for Dell to thrive. He should be viewed as a low-end WR3/FLEX option going forward, including in Week 5 against Atlanta.
Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz hauled in all three of his targets for 42 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. This game was his best as a member of the Texans and also featured his first touchdown with the team. He should be viewed as a mid-to-high TE2 going forward with room to rise even higher if the Texans continue to play well.
Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins turned nine targets into seven catches, 168 yards, and two touchdowns in a big Week 4 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Outside of a quiet Week 3, Collins has been one of the biggest steals in fantasy football this season. He has cemented himself as a weekly WR2 option, including next Sunday versus the Atlanta Falcons.
Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce rushed 24 times for 81 yards against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 4. He also caught a 27-yard pass. After a slow start to the season, Pierce has come on quite strong. His hot stretch has occurred simultaneously with a two-game winning streak in which the Texans have scored 67 points. As Houston continues to play well, Pierce should be viewed as a steady RB2 option. The Texans face the Falcons next week.
Houston Texans rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud completed 16 of 30 passes for 306 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions in a big Week 4 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. He also rushed for 16 yards. The Texans' offense has scored 67 points over the last two weeks and Stroud has been a major reason why. He has presumably done enough to vault into the low-end QB1 tier ahead of Week 5 versus the Atlanta Falcons.
