Houston Texans D/ST (49.7%)

Houston’s defense has been a huge part of their turn around and is still amazingly available.  Houston has held opponents under 20 points in each of their last four games since getting burnt for 44 by the Dolphins.  They’ve allowed just six points in three of those four games against solid offenses like the Bengals and the Saints.

As a result of getting after the QB and forcing turnovers, the Texans have double-digit fantasy points in ESPN standard scoring in each of those four games and five of their last six. J.J. Watt is leading this unit back to the elite status we thought they deserved coming into the season.

They have a less-than great matchup in Buffalo this week before a dreadful matchup week 14 against the Patriots.  However, if you can work them into your roster, they close with a great stretch in their division against the Colts, Titans, and Jaguars.
