Cade Stover

HOU Tight End #87

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Cade Stover caught 3-of-4 targets for 26 yards and a touchdown in Houston’s Week 12 loss to the Titans.

Stover has consistently been in the ancillary receiver force for the Texans, with multiple targets in every game in his last four. He scored on a busted coverage on Houston’s first play from scrimmage, and out-targeted Dalton Schultz for the first time. It’s likely that this was just a flash-in-the-pan performance, but Stover is on the field plenty for the Texans and it wouldn’t be a surprise if he eventually overtook Schultz as their main tight end in 2025.
Tank Dell

HOU Wide Receiver #3

Tank Dell caught 3-of-5 targets for 72 yards in Houston’s Week 12 loss to the Titans.

Dell had a 39-yard catch to set up Houston’s second touchdown drive, but otherwise was more of a bystander than you’d like and had a key ball over the middle defensed by Jarvis Brownlee in the fourth quarter. We suppose if he was ever going to live up to the WR3/FLEX hype it would be against the Jaguars next week, but Dell hasn’t been in the end zone in a month and doesn’t have a 10-target game all season.
Nico Collins

HOU Wide Receiver #12

Nico Collins caught 5-of-9 targets for 92 yards and a touchdown in Houston’s Week 12 loss to the Titans.

It could have been a bigger day as Collins scored a go-ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter before an illegal shift penalty brought it all back. Collins got free for a 56-yarder in man coverage and looked fully healthy. He’ll be on the WR1 line against the Jaguars next week, but we’re a little underwhelmed by how the Texans passing offense has looked with him back.
Joe Mixon

HOU Running Back #28

Joe Mixon rushed 14 times for 22 yards in Houston’s Week 12 loss to the Titans.

He added five catches for 23 yards on six targets, and was the only Texans running back to touch the ball in Week 12. The Texans were aware of their disadvantage in the middle of the line against the Titans and ran Mixon outside on 11 of his 14 carries, but there was nothing good waiting for them there. Texans fans were booing first-down runs in the fourth quarter, is a way to sum up how this went. Mixon’s role remains RB1-able and his matchup next week is the Jaguars, so he’s an RB1 despite the miserable line here.
C.J. Stroud

HOU Quarterback #7

C.J. Stroud completed 20-of-33 passes for 247 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions in Houston’s Week 12, 32-27 loss to the Titans.

He only took four sacks, which made him the better of the two quarterbacks in this game, but he did get pressured into a game-losing safety on his own goal line after one of them. Stroud looked better with Nico Collins back in general, but the second half was a dire place as the Texans anchored in on running the ball in a game where they couldn’t run the ball. Stroud’s first pick looked like a miscommunication, but his second was a bad ball to Collins across the field, deep in the down. Jacksonville’s defense will make him a borderline QB1 next week, but we’re running out of belief that the rookie year production is coming back this year.
Jalen Pitre

HOU Safety #5

Jalen Pitre (shoulder) left Houston’s Week 12 game against the Titans and was ruled out.

Pitre initially was ruled questionable. He left in the second quarter without his helmet and was not spotted on the sidelines at the beginning of the second half. The Texans moved Jimmie Ward into the nickel safety spot.
Blake Fisher

HOU Tackle #57

Texans declared T Blake Fisher, ILB Jamal Hill, DE Jerry Hughes, CB Jeff Okudah, WR Steven Sims, and DT Folorunso Fatukasi inactive for Houston’s Week 12 game against the Titans.

Fisher was declared out on Friday with a concussion, as was Fatukasi with a foot injury. Denico Autry (knee/oblique) will play off a questionable tag. Everyone else here is a healthy scratch.
Will Anderson Jr.

HOU Defensive End #51

Texans EDGE Will Anderson (ankle) said he will play in Week 12 against the Titans.

Anderson missed two games with the ankle issue but returned to practice on Wednesday. He is good to go for Week 12. Anderson has 7.5 sacks and 11 TFLs this year despite the pair of missed games. His return makes Houston an even worse matchup for Will Levis this week.
Will Anderson Jr.

HOU Defensive End #51

Texans EDGE Will Anderson (ankle)was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

Anderson has been out since Week 9 with the ankle issue. This was his first practice since suffering the injury, giving him a good shot to suit up on Sunday. Anderson is the biggest play-maker on the defensive side of the ball for Houston. He has 7.5 sacks and 11 TFLs this year.
John Metchie III

HOU Wide Receiver #8

John Metchie caught all three targets for 33 yards in the Texans’ Week 11 win over the Cowboys.

Coming off a game in which he went for 74 yards and caught his first touchdown, fantasy exuberance swiftly came crashing back to earth with the return of Nico Collins. Metchie shouldn’t see many weeks of fantasy viability for as long as the top two receivers remain healthy in Houston.
