Houston Texans wide receiver Noah Brown (back) is available for the upcoming Wild-Card matchup against the Cleveland Browns. Brown didn't practice to start the week, but was able to get in a limited session on Thursday. The Texans will be happy to have Brown back in the mix after he sat out in the regular season finale. This season, Brown recorded 33 receptions for 567 yards and two touchdowns in 10 games. He could be worth a look as a possible DFS option for this weekend.

Houston Texans wide receivers Noah Brown (back) and Robert Woods (hip) are expected to be active for Saturday's wild-card playoff contest versus the Cleveland Browns despite being listed as questionable on Thursday's final injury report, according to a league source. As long as pre-game warmups go smoothly, the Texans should have both Brown and Woods available. That would be good news for rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud, who faces a tough matchup against a Browns defense that is one of the best in the league. In his first year with the Texans, Brown caught 33 passes for 567 yards and two touchdowns, while Woods had 40 catches, 426 yards and one touchdown. Nico Collins is Houston's clear No. 1 wideout, and Brown and Woods are both risky low-cost DFS dart throws in a bad matchup after sitting out the Week 18 regular season finale.

Houston Texans wide receivers Robert Woods (hip) and Noah Brown (back) are both listed as questionable to play in Saturday's wild-card playoff game against the Cleveland Browns. Woods was limited the last two days in practice, while Brown only practiced on Friday. Both players were held out of the Week 18 win over the Indianapolis Colts. Woods is more likely to be on the field on Saturday to give Nico Collins some extra help in the passing game against a Browns secondary that is already down Grant Delpit and could also be missing two key members of their secondary. The 31-year-old Woods did very little all year and found the end zone just once, so he's merely a low-cost DFS dart throw if he plays. Brown would be a boom/bust lineup consideration if he's active on Saturday. Only Collins and tight end Dalton Schultz are realistic fantasy considerations as Texans pass-catchers this weekend.

Houston Texans wide receiver Noah Brown (back) was not seen on the practice field on Wednesday. It's the second straight day of practice that Brown has missed to open wild-card week. Brown also missed the Week 18 regular season finale against the Indianapolis Colts last Saturday, so he's going to need to get back on the practice field on Friday to have a shot at facing the Cleveland Browns in Saturday's playoff game. Even if Brown returns to practice on Friday and plays against Cleveland, he'll be a low-upside, low-cost DS option against a Browns defense that is getting healthier for the postseason. In Week 15 against Houston, Brown caught a season-high eight passes for 82 yards and his second touchdown of the year on 11 targets. Houston's receiving corps is beat up heading into the playoffs, with both Brown and Robert Woods (hip) up in the air to play.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Jeff Driskel will serve as Joe Flacco's backup for Saturday's wild-card playoff game against the Houston Texans, according to offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt. Driskel gets the backup nod for the playoffs over P.J. Walker despite the fact he didn't join the Browns until November. The 30-year-old got the start in a meaningless Week 18 regular season finale against the Cincinnati Bengals and predictably wasn't very good, going 13-for-26 for 166 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in his first game action of the season. Flacco will return to the starting gig for super wild-card weekend as the Browns look to beat the Texans for the second time in the last four weeks -- they beat the Texans 36-22 back in Week 16 in Houston.
