Deshaun Watson, Texans improve to 10-4 with 29-22 victory over the Jets.

Watson was 22/28 for 294 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions, also adding four carries for a team-high 26 rushing yards. Houston trailed 22-19 in the fourth quarter, but they ended up taking and then holding onto the lead to escape New York with a win. Watson found DeAndre Hopkins for both of his scores, including the game-winning touchdown from 14 yards away. Next up is a matchup against the banged-up Eagles, so Watson will remain a QB1 option for those in the fantasy championship.

Dallas Goedert scores in loss to the Cowboys.

Goedert caught four passes for 44 yards, including a three-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. The rookie benefitted from extra attention on Zach Ertz, but his play unfortunately wasn’t enough to take the lead in the NFC East. Goedert gets a great matchup against the Rams next week, so we’ll see if he remains involved to keep Philly’s playoff hopes alive. Consider him a low-end TE2 option.

LeSean McCoy (hamstring) is day-to-day, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

McCoy should be considered questionable for this Sunday against the Lions. We’ll track the veteran running back’s practice status throughout the week, but ideally you should have a stronger option for your lineup in the second week of the fantasy playoffs.

Lamar Miller (ankle) did not return to today’s game.

Miller was injured on the first offensive drive for the Texans and wasn’t able to stay in the game after briefly re-entering the next drive. He had three carries for eight yards before leaving. Fantasy owners that started Miller obviously took a hit in the fantasy playoffs, but hopefully his ankle injury doesn’t force him to miss more time.

Josh Adams rushed seven times for 36 yards in Sunday’s loss the Cowboys.

Adams looked good early on, but clock-killing drives by Dallas along with Philly not stringing drives together led to a disappointment for the rookie back. The Eagles will be in serious danger of falling behind quickly against the Rams next week, so Adams will be a risky FLEX option if Doug Peterson abandons the run again.

Rishard Matthews (hamstring) is doubtful to return against the Texans.

It’s unclear when Matthews was injured, but don’t expect him to return to this game. Matthews’ had one reception for seven yards before leaving, making a nice diving catch at the sideline for a first down.

Marcell Ateman catches three passes against the Steelers.

Ateman gained 45 yards on his three receptions in the Raiders’ Week 14 victory. His best catch of the day was a 28-yarder on a deep ball where he made a nice catch on a dime from Derek Carr. The rookie receiver has some upside as a potential option in deeper fantasy leagues next week versus the Bengals.
