Houston Texans DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz was targeted four times Sunday against Miami, but finished with just two catches for 13 yards in a 20-12 victory. It was the tight end's second-lowest output of the season after being held to 11 receiving yards against Minnesota in Week 3. In this one, however, every other Texans skill player was in the same boat as Schultz, as the team gained only 181 total yards. The veteran tight end has now finished in the top 10 at his position once in 14 weeks. He and the Texans will look for a more productive day at Kansas City in Week 16.

Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell drew only two targets Sunday against Miami, catching both for a total of 26 yards in the 20-12 win. He also ran once for 15 yards, bringing his yardage total to 41 on the day. Dell certainly wasn't alone in having a meager performance, as Houston gained 181 total yards as a team. Unfortunately for managers who started the second-year receiver, fellow receiver Nico Collins caught both of Houston's touchdowns despite finishing with 17 receiving yards on four catches. The Texans face a bigger test in Week 16 when they travel to play Kansas City on Saturday.

Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon gained only 23 rushing yards on 12 carries on Sunday in a 20-12 victory against the Miami Dolphins, but managed to salvage some fantasy value by catching five passes on six targets for 33 yards. The entire Houston offense compiled just 181 total yards in the game, so the veteran running back actually led the team in receiving and tied with wide receiver Nico Collins for the most targets. In the end, though, it was just enough for Houston to improve to 9-5 on the season. Mixon and the Texans will have a slightly short week in Week 16 when they travel to Kansas City on Saturday.

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud had an efficient but low-volume game against the Miami Dolphins, completing 18 of 26 passes for 131 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in a 20-12 victory. He also ran six times for four yards and lost a fumble. The entire Houston offense had a slow day, managing only 181 total yards, but the second-year quarterback tossed a pair of six-yard touchdowns to wide receiver Nico Collins to secure the win. It was yet another Sunday in which Houston offense left a lot to be desired, but they ultimately end the week at 9-5. Stroud and the Texans will travel to Kansas City for a Saturday showdown in Week 16.

Wide receiver Nico Collins of the Houston Texans had his lowest receiving output of the season Sunday against the Miami Dolphins but still caught two passes for touchdowns in his team's 20-12 win. The Texans' No. 1 receiver managed just four catches on six targets for a meager 17 yards but snagged two six-yard touchdowns to end up with a decent fantasy day despite the low totals. The Dolphins have been especially tough on wide receivers this year, though Collins scratched out some value from a game in which his team managed only 181 total yards. He'll face a marquee opponent next week when Houston takes on Kansas City in a Saturday matchup.
