Rotoworld Player News

Kayshon Boutte

HOU Wide Receiver #14

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Kayshon Boutte caught 2-of-2 targets for 21 yards in Houston’s Week 3 loss to the Colts.

Boutte played 35-of-52 snaps, and if that sounds low, it actually lead the team in Nick Caley’s absolutely bizarre WR platoon situation where it seems like he is trying to find someone who he trusts. Boutte looks the best of the bunch, but we can’t recommend trying to eat these non-existent fantasy points. Jaylin Noel (2/17 on two targets) and Jared Wayne (1/20 on four targets including an inexcusable drop) continue to haunt the situation.
Dalton Schultz

HOU Tight End #86

Dalton Schultz caught 3-of-3 targets for 30 yards in Houston’s Week 3 loss to the Colts.

Schultz told the CBS booth before the game that he “hopes to not have stat lines” like he had in Week 2, an anecdote they related as he had just one catch in the fourth quarter. Sounds like news that fantasy managers wish they had heard yesterday. He didn’t have a catch in the first half and yielded a red zone touchdown to spoiler Foster Moreau. Schultz has low-end TE1 status against the Cowboys in Week 4.
Xavier Hutchinson

HOU Wide Receiver #19

Xavier Hutchinson caught 3-of-6 targets for 51 yards in Houston’s Week 3 loss to the Colts.

Hutchinson left the game after catching a 28-yarder in the fourth quarter and visited the blue medical tent. The Texans never announced a status for him, so it’s something to monitor. He lead the team in targets and yards. We guess that’s just where things are for the Texans now. If Hutchinson is healthy and Nico Collins is not in Week 4, he’ll have fringe FLEX/WR4 value.
Woody Marks

HOU Running Back #4

Woody Marks rushed five times for 15 yards and a touchdown in Week 3’s loss to the Colts, adding one catch for six yards.

Marks managed just 20 snaps to David Montgomery’s 32 in a game where there was only one hurry-up drive that got off the ground for the Texans, but at least he cashed in with a one-yard touchdown plunge. He remains a volatile FLEX next week against the Cowboys.
David Montgomery

HOU Running Back #32

David Montgomery rushed 11 times for 33 yards in Houston’s Week 3 loss to the Colts, adding two catches for 15 yards on his only two targets.

The only official goal-line carry of the game went to Woody Marks in the two-minute drill. Montgomery added one of the dumbest-looking running back passes on first-and-goal in recent memory, though that play was bailed out as something like five different Colts committed DPI on Jaylin Noel in the end zone. Montgomery’s best play of the game was a minus-1 yard carry in his own end zone where he pulled out the entire stop/start arsenal. It’s beginning to give RB3 vibes as we look ahead to Week 4’s game against the Cowboys.
C.J. Stroud

HOU Quarterback #7

C.J. Stroud completed 16-of-27 passes for 167 yards and a touchdown in Houston’s 19-17, Week 3 loss to the Colts.

It was turnover-free football despite three sacks. Simply put: The Texans just don’t look like an NFL offense right now. Two of Stroud’s three deep balls in this game could have been intended for any of four different receivers, one of them hit off Jaylin Noel’s hands. Nobody has taken the reins. Texans OC Nick Caley deserves to be on the hot seat. Stroud passes the eye test when you watch these games, but the design of this offense — especially the run offense — is brutal. Stroud is near the bottom of the superflex QB2 ranks against the Cowboys next week, though the potential return of Nico Collins merits some consideration that better things could happen.
Mario Edwards

HOU Defensive Tackle #97

Texans DL Mario Edwards (knee) left Houston’s Week 3 game against the Colts and is questionable to return.

He didn’t actually return, since the game is over. He went down with a non-contact injury at the end of a play and could not put any weight on his leg as he walked off with the help of a trainer.
Ed Ingram

HOU Guard #69

Texans declared G Ed Ingram (groin), WR Nico Collins (hamstring), EDGE Jadeveon Clowney (knee), T Nate Thomas, CB Collin Wright and TE Brevin Jordan inactive for Houston’s Week 3 game against the Colts.

No surprises here; Trent Brown (knee/wrist) will play off a questionable tag. The other three injured Texans were ruled out on Friday. Ingram has not practiced since suffering a groin injury in practice last Wednesday and has to be considered questionable for Week 4 as well as this point; he’s the best run blocker on Houston’s line.
Nico Collins

HOU Wide Receiver #12

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports there is a “decent chance” Nico Collins (hamstring) returns for Week 4 against the Cowboys.

Collins injured his hamstring in practice last week and has already been ruled out for the second game in a row. He did not practice this week, so the Texans’ first injury report of Week 4 will be telling. Dalton Schultz will continue to vacuum up targets in the meantime. He saw 14 targets last week and caught 12 of them for 140 yards.
Trent Brown

HOU Tackle #77

Texans RT Trent Brown (knee/wrist) is questionable for Week 3 against the Colts.

The Texans ruled out RG Ed Ingram (groin) and EDGE Jadevon Clowney (knee). The Colts’ defense has played unimpressively thus far, but hopefully Brown is able to play this week. Losing two offensive line starters is less than ideal.
