Tallies nine tackles Sunday
Tue, Oct 27, 2026, 11:10 PM
Al-Shaair recorded nine tackles (two solo) in a Week 7 overtime loss to the Giants on Sunday.
Analysis: Al-Shaair battled a knee injury during Week 7 prep but seemed to be fine Sunday, as he played every one of Houston's defensive snaps. The veteran linebacker has been a consistent producer this season, logging at least seven stops in each of the six contests in which he's played. Al-Shaair posted 103 tackles over 16 regular-season games last year, and he's on pace to easily surpass that mark with 58 stops through six contests this season. |

Racks up 10 stops in loss
Tue, Oct 27, 2026, 11:04 PM
To'oTo'o notched 10 tackles (three solo), including 0.5 sacks, in Sunday's Week 7 overtime loss to the Giants.
Analysis: To'oTo'o ranked second on Houston in tackles behind M.J. Stewart, with whom he combined for a sack in the fourth quarter. It was just the third appearance of the campaign for To'oTo'o, who missed Weeks 2-5 due to a knee injury. The 25-year-old seems to be past the issue, as he's logged over 90 percent of the Texans' defensive snaps since his return. |

Steps up in Week 7 loss
Tue, Oct 27, 2026, 10:59 PM
Stewart finished with 12 tackles (five solo), including 0.5 sacks, and a defensed pass in Sunday's overtime loss to the Giants.
Analysis: Stewart paced Houston in tackles, and he contributed a half-sack of J.J. McCarthy in the fourth quarter. Stewart missed the first four weeks of the campaign due to a knee injury and was limited to work on special teams upon his return in Week 5, but he started and logged a 95 percent defensive snap share Sunday in the absence of Reed Blankenship (concussion/hand). The Texans are on bye in Week 8, so Blankenship will have extra time to recover ahead of Houston's Week 9 matchup against the Chargers. |
Foster Moreau Foster Moreau Diminished role in loss
Mon, Oct 26, 2026, 9:01 PM
Moreau played 21 offensive snaps and nine special-teams snaps in the Texans' 27-21 overtime loss to the Giants on Sunday.
Analysis: Moreau did not appear in the box score of Sunday's game. The tight end's nonexistent offensive production is a steep decline from his pair of TDs in the Texans' London victory over the Jaguars. |
Dare Ogunbowale Dare Ogunbowale No touches on offense in OT loss
Mon, Oct 26, 2026, 8:55 PM
Ogunbowale didn't record an offensive touch or target in Sunday's 24-21 overtime loss to the Giants.
Analysis: Even with David Montgomery (groin) and Jawhar Jordan (quadriceps) injured and inactive, Ogunbowale played just seven offensive snaps behind Woody Marks' 54. Ogunbowale can continue to be ignored in fantasy football. |
Tank Dell Tank Dell Highlight play in return to action
Mon, Oct 26, 2026, 7:50 PM
Dell caught his only target for 43 yards and added a two-yard rush during Sunday's 27-21 overtime loss to the Giants.
Analysis: Dell made his return to action after missing nearly two full years while recovering from a dislocated kneecap and series of torn ligaments in his left knee. The wide receiver was only on the field for 11 offensive plays, but he made the most of his one target. Dell reeled in a deep ball from C.J. Stroud in the second quarter, churning out a 43-yard gain. With Nico Collins, Marvin Harrison, Xavier Hutchinson, Jaylin Noel (toe) and Kayshon Boutte also in the mix at wide receiver, Dell may have a hard time getting many looks each week. |
Kayshon Boutte Kayshon Boutte Catches one ball in loss
Mon, Oct 26, 2026, 7:31 PM
Boutte caught one of two targets for 25 yards during Sunday's 27-21 overtime loss versus the Giants.
Analysis: Boutte played a season-low 18 offensive snaps in Week 7, trailing behind Nico Collins (34) and Xavier Hutchinson (31) and tying with Jaylin Noel (toe). Predictably, he wasn't very involved in an inefficient passing game. As recent trade acquisition Marvin Harrison gets acclimated, Boutte's role will probably continue to shrink as the campaign continues. |
Dalton Schultz Dalton Schultz Paces Houston in receiving and targets
Sun, Oct 25, 2026, 9:19 PM
Schultz caught five of six targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 27-21 overtime loss to the Giants.
Analysis: The veteran tight end paced the Texans with his six targets, matching Xavier Hutchinson, as the duo saw one more than Nico Collins on a day C.J. Stroud targeted nine different pass catchers. Schultz is still looking for his first touchdown of the season and has settled in as a low-ceiling fantasy tight end. |
Xavier Hutchinson Xavier Hutchinson Sees six targets in Week 7 loss
Sun, Oct 25, 2026, 8:23 PM
Hutchinson caught three of six targets for 17 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-21 overtime loss to the Giants. He added 12 rushing yards on two attempts.
Analysis: On a day C.J. Stroud targeted nine different players, Hutchinson tied Dalton Schultz for the team lead with six targets. Nico Collins led the wideout group with 24 routes, but Hutchinson tied Jaylin Noel (toe) for second at the position with 15 routes. In a receiver room that is running six deep on game days, none of these Houston wide receivers are reliably playable in fantasy outside of Collins. |
Ka'imi Fairbairn Ka'imi Fairbairn Nails pair of long-range kicks in loss
Sun, Oct 25, 2026, 5:00 PM
Fairbairn went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts and converted his only PAT in Sunday's 27-21 overtime loss to the Giants.
Analysis: Fairbairn finished off each of the Texans' first two scoring drives with field-goal makes from 58 and 57 yards in the first half. The kicker has now converted multiple field goals in four straight contests, and his last miss came all the way back in Week 2 versus Cincinnati. Fairbairn has gone 15-for-16 on field-goal tries, including 6-for-7 from 50-plus yards, while making all 16 of his extra-point attempts over seven contests so far. |
Marvin Harrison Jr. Marvin Harrison Jr. Gets first TD with Texans
Sun, Oct 25, 2026, 4:25 PM
Harrison caught one of four targets for a six-yard touchdown in Sunday's 27-21 overtime loss to the Giants.
Analysis: In his second game since being acquired from Arizona via trade, Harrison scored his first touchdown with the Texans. His six-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter was Harrison's lone catch in a game during which six different wide receivers recorded at least one reception for the Texans. Harrison will have an opportunity to increase his knowledge of the playbook during a Week 8 bye and potentially earn more playing time in Houston's crowded wide-receiver room. |
C.J. Stroud C.J. Stroud Two TD passes in OT loss
Sun, Oct 25, 2026, 4:24 PM
Stroud completed 17 of 28 passes for 153 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 27-21 overtime loss to the Giants. He added two rushing attempts for four yards and threw a successful two-point conversion.
Analysis: Stroud threw a six-yard touchdown pass to Marvin Harrison in the final minute of the first half and added a two-point conversion to Cade Stover to tie the score at 14-14 heading into halftime. Houston's next points didn't come until the final minute of the fourth quarter, when Stroud found Xavier Hutchinson for a three-yard touchdown that sent the game to overtime. The Texans went three-and-out on the first possession of OT, and the Giants responded with a touchdown to drop the Texans to 2-5 heading into Houston's Week 8 bye. It's hard to blame Stroud for the team's poor record given his strong 11:1 TD:INT. |
Woody Marks Woody Marks Racks up 20 touches in Week 7
Sun, Oct 25, 2026, 4:21 PM
Marks rushed 19 times for 66 yards and caught his only target for 15 yards in Sunday's 27-21 overtime loss to the Giants.
Analysis: Mark remained busy in the absence of David Montgomery (groin), handling 20 touches while no other running back got a touch for the Texans. Over the last three games, the first of which Montgomery left early and the last two of which he missed, Marks has recorded 247 scrimmage yards on 56 touches. Marks missed some action in the second half Sunday due to a leg injury but returned to the game. Houston's Week 8 bye will give both Marks and Montgomery a chance to heal up, and Houston would likely return to a backfield platoon in Week 9 against the Chargers if Montgomery's ready to play. |
Nico Collins Nico Collins Limited to six yards in OT loss
Sun, Oct 25, 2026, 4:20 PM
Collins caught two of five targets for six yards in Sunday's 27-21 overtime loss to the Giants.
Analysis: Collins was surprisingly quiet as C.J. Stroud spread the ball out to nine different targets, including six wide receivers. Collins remains atop the wide-receiver depth chart and hadn't dipped below 55 receiving yards in a regular-season appearance since Week 7 of last season. The star wideout's recent track record suggests Collins will likely bounce back in Week 9 against the Chargers following Houston's Week 8 bye. |
Jaylin Noel Jaylin Noel Wearing walking boot after Sunday's game
Sun, Oct 25, 2026, 4:01 PM
Noel (toe) was seen in a walking boot after Sunday's 27-21 overtime loss to the Giants, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Noel suffered a toe injury in the fourth quarter of Week 7 action and didn't return, finishing with two catches (on two targets) for minus-3 yards. He wasn't able to parlay his 107-yard outing from Week 6 against the Jaguars in London into any success this Sunday, and he now be in danger of missing time. |
|
Jaylin Noel Jaylin Noel Dealing with toe injury
Sun, Oct 25, 2026, 3:01 PM
Noel departed Sunday's game versus the Giants in the fourth quarter due to a toe injury.
Analysis: On the heels of a 107-yard effort as a receiver in Week 6 against the Jaguars in London, Noel mustered just minus-3 yards on two catches before exiting Week 7 action early. |

Woody Marks Woody Marks Back in Sunday's game
Sun, Oct 25, 2026, 2:49 PM
Marks (leg) returned to Sunday's contest against the Giants, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Marks visited the sideline tent in the third quarter but was able to get back on the field in the fourth after having his left leg examined in the medical tent. He'll continue to power the Texans backfield with David Montgomery (groin) inactive for a second straight game. |

Woody Marks Woody Marks Departs Sunday's game
Sun, Oct 25, 2026, 2:33 PM
Marks visited the sideline tent during Sunday's contest against the Giants due to an apparent left leg injury, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Marks walked off the field without a noticeable limp late in the third quarter to be examined. The Texans have only one other healthy running back (Dare Ogunbowale) on the game-day roster with David Montgomery (groin) sidelined for a second game in a row. |

Tank Dell Tank Dell Cleared to make 2026 debut
Sun, Oct 25, 2026, 11:05 AM
Dell (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Analysis: Dell is ready to take the field for the first time since Dec. 21, 2024, when he suffered a dislocated kneecap and multiple ligament tears in his left knee. The 2023 third-rounder certainly had his share of success playing with C.J. Stroud over his first two seasons, but he'll likely be eased into the workload in his first game in nearly two years. Dell figures to operate in a rotational role behind Nico Collins, Marvin Harrison and Jaylin Noel against New York, with progressively expanded opportunity expected in coming games. |

Tank Dell Tank Dell Activated from injured reserve
Sat, Oct 24, 2026, 3:16 PM
Dell (knee) was activated from injured reserve Saturday, and his questionable designation has been removed for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Analysis: Dell thus is poised to log his first game action since he suffered a serious left knee injury Dec. 21, 2024 that included a dislocated kneecap and multiple ligament tears. The Texans' receiving corps is in a much different state this time around, with Marvin Harrison, Jaylin Noel, Xavier Hutchinson and Kayshon Boutte all vying for reps behind No. 1 option Nico Collins. Where Dell may stand behind Collins remains to be seen, assuming the former is active for Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. |
