Phillip Lindsay Fantasy

Houston Texans running back Phillip Lindsay carried the ball five times for two rushing yards, adding a 22-yard touchdown reception in Sunday's loss to Cleveland. Lindsay finished third in snaps behind Mark Ingram II and David Johnson, though he was the only Texans back to find the end zone, hauling in a screen pass and finding room to run behind his blockers. The former Bronco has accumulated just 49 scrimmage yards but has found the end zone in each of his team's first two games. Lindsay, and all other Texans running backs, are best voided for fantasy purposes moving forward.

Houston Texans running back Phillip Lindsay will look to find room against a stingy Browns run defense in Week 2. Lindsay played the fewest snaps of the three Texans' halfbacks last week but saw the second-most touches, compiling 25 rushing yards and a score against Jacksonville. The Texans led for much of that game but figure to be behind early against the Browns in Week 2, meaning fewer rushing opportunities for Lindsay. With no passing game role, the former Bronco will need to find the end zone to put up solid fantasy numbers- something that isn't worth betting on in any fantasy format.

Houston Texans running back Phillip Lindsay totaled 25 rushing yards and a touchdown on eight carries in a 37-21 win over the Jaguars. Lindsay took a backseat to Mark Ingram II and plodded for just 3.1 yards per carry- though he was able to find the end zone for a rushing score. Given that he was used primarily as a runner, the former Bronco will need a larger workload and for his team to maintain positive game scripts moving forward, both factors of which are too risky to depend on for fantasy purposes. Lindsay is off the fantasy radar for now but is worth monitoring in Week 2.
