Team news: Houston Texans | Page 14

It's the end of an era in Cincinnati, where Joe Mixon spent seven seasons, ran for 49 touchdowns, and was part of a Super Bowl team. Now, both sides move on, with Zack Moss joining the Bengals and Mixon headed to free agency.

Related Players: Chase Brown

The Bengals looked like they would prefer a committee approach towards the end of last season, and that's likely what is going to happen heading into 2024, with Moss operating as the main piece. He won't have the upside of Mixon because of that usage, but he should still be considered a top-25 option, with Brown a little bit behind that.

Gabe Davis agreed with the Jaguars to a 3 year deal for $39 million with incentives that could get him to $50 million.

Davis gives Trevor Lawrence a field-stretcher to compliment his underneath receivers. Davis himself will be a very inconsistent fantasy option, but Lawrence has plenty of touch to produce big plays for his new weapon from time to time.

Day 2 of C.J. Stroud back at it after concussion. Texans quarterback progressing through NFL concussion protocol final stages.

Related Players: Case Keenum

Things are looking good for the healthy Texans skill position players, as well as Stroud suiting up as a top-10 fantasy option for the Fantasy Championships.

Potential good news for the Texans: QB C.J. Stroud, in the NFL's concussion protocol, is expected to practice today. Coach DeMeco Ryans told Stacey Dales on Sunday that Stroud had been in meetings on Friday. "He's definitely making progress." This would be more progress.

This would be fantastic news for Texans skill position players and would also put Stroud back on the map as a top-12 option. We'll keep an eye on his progress throughout the rest of the week.

“No setbacks” for Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill this week — he will practice today and Mike McDaniel says he feels good about him.

Related Players: Jaylen Waddle, Cedrick Wilson, Braxton Berrios

This is a good sign for fantasy managers who had to do without last week. Hill looks like he will return to what will very likely be a shootout with the Cowboys. Waddle is back in the WR2 range after his fantastic 8-142-1 performance during his teammate's absence.

Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill, RB De’Von Achane, CB Xavien Howard, LT Terron Armstead limited in practice returns. RG Robert Hunt & RT Austin Jackson remain out.

John Metchie III (illness), Brevin Jordan (illness), Nico Collins (calf), Shaq Mason (calf), and Jimmie Ward (concussion) returned to practice.

The passing attack didn't look great with Case Keenum under center, but Noah Brown saw a huge target share, turning 11 into 8-82-1. If Nico Collins is good to go for Week 16, he should slide back into the No. 1 role, which should offer a fantasy WR2 with limited upside if C.J. Stroud misses, which looks like the strongest possibility.

Texans QB C.J. Stroud is not yet back at practice for Houston, a bad sign for his availability this week. Stroud is still in the concussion protocol.

Related Players: Case Keenum

Keenum led the Texans to a win to keep them in the playoff hunt, but that didn't do much for us in fantasy, as he only notched 11.3 points. He gets a tough matchup against the Browns this week, and should be off fantasy radars, even in the deepest leagues.

Texans’ QB C.J. Stroud, who missed Sunday’s win over the Tennessee Titans and remains in the concussion protocol.

Related players: Davis Mills, Case Keenum

Schefter's post went on to say Stroud is likely to miss a second-straight game this coming Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. It's a tough break for fantasy owners who have rode Stroud to the playoffs this season. While it was Mills who backed up Stroud most of the season, Keenum got the start last week and one would think he gets the call again in Week 16 if Stroud is out. It could be a tough go against the good Browns defense.

C.J. Stroud missed Sunday’s overtime win over the Titans on Sunday after being concussed in Houston’s Week 14 loss to the Jets and head coach DeMeco Ryans told reporters on Monday that Stroud remains in the concussion protocol. Wednesday’s practice will be the next milestone in his path back to the lineup.

Despite Davis Mills serving as the No. 2 quarterback all season, Case Keenum got the start against Tennessee. He was 23-of-36 for 229 yards, a touchdown, and an interception in the win.

This doesn't sound like a great start to the week as the Texans hope to get their star QB back on the field. If Stroud can't go, the story said Ryans did not say whether Keenum will start against the Browns on Christmas Eve if Stroud is not cleared to return.
