Houston Texans

Start the Texans defense — they face the Titans, who’ve scored just 51 points and are playing shaky, inexperienced quarterbacks likely to give up sacks and turnovers. Houston has been hit-or-miss and is 0–3, so saving them for another week is fair, but this matchup makes them worth starting now.

Houston gets to the quarterback a lot, so start their defense this week against Jacksonville. Just check for any late injury or weather updates before kickoff, but the matchup looks favorable.

Sit the Texans’ defense — they struggled to get to the quarterback and had penalty trouble in Week 1, and Tampa Bay can limit big defensive plays. Only plug them in if you have no better option and late-week injury or pressure reports suddenly look much better for Houston.

Pick the Texans only in the late rounds as a bench spot or a week-by-week play — don’t use an early pick on them. Experts disagree, so they’re a cheap grab at the end but don’t rely on them as your main defense.
