Jordan Thomas targeted twice in Week 13 win.

He caught one of them for six yards. The rookie has the size to eventually be a weapon for Bill O’Brien’s offense, but he isn’t on the fantasy radar in redraft leagues.

Jordan Akins caught one pass in Houston’s win over the Titans.

It went for eight yards. Akins isn’t a recommended fantasy option as he splits time with Ryan Griffin and fellow rookie Jordan Thomas.

DeAndre Carter catches 14-yard pass in win over the Titans.

Carter was targeted just once, but he operated as the team’s No. 3 wideout when Keke Coutee (hamstring) left the game. While the former Eagle will mostly be a punt returner, he is worth keeping tabs on for a potential Week 13 start against the Browns if Coutee isn’t able to go.

Ryan Griffin caught three passes for 38 yards in Monday night’s win over the Titans.

The 28-year-old was targeted four times, but he isn’t a recommended fantasy option down the stretch, including next week against the Browns.

Demaryius Thomas scores twice as Houston improves to 8-3.

Thomas caught four passes for 38 yards and two touchdowns, which came from 12 yards away in the first quarter and ten yards away in the fourth quarter. Bill O’Brien pinned the failure to get DT involved on himself, so dialing up a couple plays in the red zone for the veteran certainly fixed things for a team that has now won eight games in a row. Thomas should be a quality FLEX option in Week 13 against the Browns.

DeAndre Hopkins caught five passes for 74 yards in Monday night’s win over the Titans.

Hopkins was targeted a team-high six times and led the Texans in both receptions and receiving yards, but Demaryius Thomas caught both of Deshaun Watson’s touchdown passes, which led to a somewhat modest night. The All-Pro receiver should bounce back next week against the Browns, and he remains an every-week, matchup-proof WR1.

Alfred Blue handles 14 touches in win over the Titans.

Blue rushed 13 times for 49 yards, also adding a 13-yard reception. The LSU product actually led the backfield in carries, but it was starter Lamar Miller (12 carries for 162 yards and a touchdown) that ran wild in large part due to a 97-yard score. Look for Blue to remain involved, but he’s not a strong fantasy play in Week 13.
