Jalen Pitre

HOU Safety #5

Texans S Jalen Pitre (chest) officially returned to practice in a limited capacity on Wednesday.

Pitre suffered a bruised lung in the Texans’ Week 1 game against the Ravens and has been out since. With CB Derek Stingley out, the Texans secondary is going to need Pitre back to boost the defense. A limited practice is good news for his Week 4 return.
Josh Jones

HOU Tackle #74

Texans LT Josh Jones (hand) is expected to miss the team’s Week 4 game against the Steelers.

The Texans are also expected to be without Laremy Tunsil, who is dealing with a knee issue. That is on top of right tackle Tytus Howard still sitting on the injured reserve list. C.J. Stroud is averaging over 300 passing yards per game and hasn’t thrown an interception yet, but sacks have been an issue for the rookie. He has been brought down 11 times through three games. Expect the Steelers’ pass rush to tee off on Stroud in Week 4.
Laremy Tunsil

HOU Tackle #78

Texans LT Laremy Tunsil (knee) did not practice Wednesday.

Right tackle Tytus Howard remains on injured reserve. He is eligible to return after Week 4. Despite the losses of both of his starting tight ends, C.J. Stroud has been phenomenal through three games. He is averaging over 300 passing yards per game and has yet to throw his first interception. He will look to stay hot in Week 4 against the Steelers.
Jalen Pitre

HOU Safety #5

Texans beat writer Aaron Wilson says S Jalen Pitre is expected to return to practice this week.

Pitre suffered a bruised lung in Week 1’s loss to the Ravens and has been sidelined ever since. The former second-round pick’s return will be a welcomed one by a Texans defense that ranks 21st in points allowed, but 16th in total yards allowed. We’ll see how Pitre fares in practice throughout the week, but it sounds like there’s a good chance he’ll play in Week 4 against the Steelers.
Brevin Jordan

HOU Tight End #9

Brevin Jordan caught 2-of-2 targets for 13 yards and a touchdown in the Texans’ Week 3 win over the Jaguars.

Jordan saw a pair of targets from C.J. Stroud, catching a touchdown in the second quarter. Jordan may slowly take tight end opportunities from Dalton Schultz, but he is not fantasy relevant yet.
Dalton Schultz

HOU Tight End #86

Dalton Schultz caught 1-of-3 targets for nine yards in the Texans’ Week 3 win over the Jaguars.

Schultz took a step back in the Texans offense this week, seeing three targets and ceding a couple of red zone looks to Brevin Jordan. C.J. Stroud had 30 pass attempts this week, giving Schultz and others a slice of a smaller pie. He is slowly falling out of favor among Texans pass-catchers. Schultz is a borderline-TE2 in a Week 4 matchup against the Steelers.
John Metchie

HOU Wide Receiver #88

John Metchie caught 2-of-2 targets for 13 yards in the Texans’ Week 3 win over the Jaguars.

Metchie played in his second-career game, ramping up in the Texans’ receiving corps. He played low-volume snaps, but saw a pair of designed short-yardage targets when on the field. Metchie’s role will grow, but he is currently not in the fantasy mix for a Week 4 matchup against the Steelers.
Robert Woods

HOU Wide Receiver #2

Robert Woods caught 3-of-6 targets for 34 yards in the Texans’ Week 3 win over the Jaguars.

Woods saw the second-most targets on the team and reeled in half of them for 34 yards. The veteran is still a part of the Texans offense despite rookie Tank Dell taking over the receiving corps this week. In a game where C.J. Stroud threw his least passes of the season, Woods’ six targets are good news for his fantasy relevancy. Entering Week 4 against the Steelers, Woods has WR4 appeal.
Nico Collins

HOU Wide Receiver #12

Nico Collins caught 2-of-3 targets for 34 yards in the Texans’ Week 3 win over the Jaguars.

Collins took a backseat to rookie Tank Dell in the Texans’ win over the Jaguars. Collins got his first target and reception in the second quarter, then ended the first half breaking multiple tackles to get Houston into field-goal range with a few seconds left. While the quiet outing brings Collins back down to earth after a career-best Week 2, he is still one of the Texans’ top offensive weapons. Collins has WR3 value in a Week 4 matchup against the Steelers.
Tank Dell

HOU Wide Receiver #3

Tank Dell caught 5-of-7 targets for 145 yards and a touchdown in the Texans’ Week 3 win over the Jaguars.

Dell was connecting with fellow rookie C.J. Stroud all day against the Jaguars. He scored on a 68-yard pass from Stroud and was tackled at the two-yard line on another deep ball. Dell led the Texans in targets with his second-straight game of at least five receptions. Nico Collins, Robert Woods and Dell are all seeing high volume from Stroud in a surprisingly fantasy-relevant Texans offense. Dell is establishing himself as an intriguing flex play against the Steelers in Week 4.
