Houston Texans

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud had a moderately productive day against one of the NFL's worst defenses, finishing 22-for-34 for 242 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in a 23-20 victory against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He also rushed for eight yards in the win. The Texans managed only two field goals in the first half and were outgained overall, but ultimately did enough to build and protect the lead. The second-year quarterback has been decent overall, but for fantasy purposes, has delivered only a couple game-changing weeks. Stroud and the Texans will look to make their final playoff push after a Week 14 bye.

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz (shoulder) has returned to Sunday's Week 13 contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He missed roughly six minutes of game time as the Texans evaluated his injury, listed him as questionable, and cleared him to return. He'll look to build on his four-catch, 39-yard effort over the final 16-plus minutes of Sunday's game, but his role could be reduced if the Texans adopt a run-heavy approach with a 10-point lead over the Jaguars.

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz (shoulder) exited during the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He is officially questionable to return. Schultz landed hard on his shoulder after hurdling over a defender, and he hasn't been on the field since. At the time of his departure, he had caught four of his five targets for 39 yards. Cade Stover will step up as the Texans' primary tight end until Schultz can return to the mix.

Houston Texans wide receiver Xavier Hutchinson (shoulder) is inactive for Week 13 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He had been listed as questionable after logging three limited practices in a row. The 24-year-old has operated in a strictly depth role this season, but he did earn some extra opportunities during the respective absences of Nico Collins and Stefon Diggs (knee). All in all, through 12 games this season, Hutchinson had caught seven of his 18 targets for 70 yards through the air. The second-year receiver is still searching for his first career NFL touchdown. John Metchie III and Robert Woods figure to earn extra snaps with Hutchinson shelved for Week 13.

Houston Texans wide receiver John Metchie III gets an exploitable matchup in Week 13 when he squares off against the Jacksonville Jaguars in a divisional clash. The 24-year-old has seen his usage increase since Week 9, logging 61% or more of the team's snaps. It has yet to amount to much regarding fantasy output, but he has become a staple in Houston's lineup. He'll line up across from a Jacksonville defense that's allowed the third-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers (41.3). Additionally, the Jags have turned over their opponents only eight times this year -- tied for the second-lowest mark in the league. Despite the excellent matchup, Metchie III will only be a recommended option in deep leagues and DFS contests. He's RotoBaller's PPR WR71 ahead of Week 13's slate.
