Houston Texans DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

The Tennessee Titans put the clamps on the Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon, holding him to just 22 yards and no touchdowns on 14 carries and pulling off a 32-27 upset. The veteran running back had his lowest rushing output of the season, but did salvage some fantasy value by catching five of six targets for 23 yards. Houston's offensive line had a brutal showing against a talented Tennessee line, and the Texans rushed for just 40 yards as a team. Fortunately for the Texans and fantasy managers who roster Mixon, the Texans are at Jacksonville in Week 13.

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins looked like his pre-injury self on Sunday against the Tennessee Titans, hauling in five passes for 92 yards and a touchdown in a 32-27 loss. The big receiver scored on a five-yard connection with quarterback C.J. Stroud in the second quarter, his first since returning from injured reserve. Houston targeted the No. 1 receiver nine times, which led the team, but had an overall frustrating day on offense and compiled just 40 yards on the ground. Collins continues to be the top option for the passing game, however, and faces an excellent matchup in Week 13 against Jacksonville.

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz caught both of his targets for 20 yards in a 32-27 loss to Tennessee. For fantasy managers, the bigger concern was that he was out-targeted by rookie tight end Cade Stover, who drew four targets and caught a touchdown, which Schultz has yet to do this season. The Houston offense in general struggled to establish much of a rhythm, as Tennessee's dominant defensive line held the Texans to just 40 rushing yards. The veteran tight end will face a more favorable matchup next week, however, as Houston travels to take on the slumping Jacksonville Jaguars.

Houston Texans tight end Cade Stover finished with three catches for 26 yards on four targets and caught his first NFL touchdown on Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. It was an all-Ohio State connection, as quarterback C.J. Stroud found the rookie tight end for a 19-yard score in the first quarter. The 24-year-old tight end has been a secondary option in the Texans' offense, but he's also been targeted nine weeks in a row and begun to cut into starter Dalton Schultz's receiving workload. Stover will look for more involvement as Houston travels to Jacksonville in Week 13.

Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell caught just three passes Sunday but turned them into 72 receiving yards in a 32-27 loss to Tennessee. The second-year receiver drew five targets, which ranked second on the team in a surprising defeat to a division rival. Houston rushed for a meager 40 yards against the Titans, which put the offense behind the chains for a large portion of the day. Dell and the Texans' up-and-down offense will look for a better day when they take on the struggling Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 13.
