Lamar Miller makes history as Houston improves to 8-3 with MNF victory over Tennessee.

Miller rushed 12 times for 162 yards and a touchdown, which was a game-breaking, 97-yard run that made him the only player in NFL history to rush for multiple scores of 95+ yards, and the second player in NFL history with two touchdowns of 97+ yards (joining JuJu Smith-Schuster, who accomplished the feat just a day earlier); plus, it was the longest run in the league since his other 97-yard dash in 2014. Including a dud against the Broncos, Miller has rushed for 100.4 yards per game over the past five weeks, and he’s surging at the right time for fantasy owners making a playoff push. Cleveland has the personnel to dominate up front in Week 13, but Miller is tough to count out as a strong low-end RB2/FLEX option.

Deshaun Watson totals 290 yards, three touchdowns as Houston wins eighth in a row.

Watson was 19/24 for 210 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions, also adding nine carries for 70 yards and another score. It was a masterful performance by Houston’s quarterback, as he took advantage of a banged-up secondary, finding Demaryius Thomas twice for six while chipping in a 15-yard sprint of his own. Watson will have a more imposing matchup next week against the confident Browns, but he should be ranked as at least a low-end QB1. The Texans are now 8-3 after starting the season 0-3.

Tajae Sharpe held without a catch in loss to the Texans.

Sharpe briefly left the game with an ankle injury, but he seemed to be worried more than anything else after Corey Davis rolled up on his legs from behind. The 23-year-0ld won’t be a recommended fantasy option when Tennessee takes on the Jets in Week 13.

Cameron Batson catches 13-yard pass in Week 12 loss.

It came on Batson’s only target of the game. The backup receiver will mostly make an impact on special teams for Tennessee.

Marcus Mariota, Titans fall to 5-6 with 34-17 loss to the Texans.

Mariota was 22/23 for 303 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions, also adding six carries for 28 yards. The scoreboard didn’t indicate it, but Mariota was decisive and accurate all night, so much so that he didn’t even throw an incompletion until the final drive of the game with just over a minute to play. However, a turnover-on-downs in the red zone and some other mistakes/injuries hurt Tennessee after they jumped out to a 10-0 lead, and they probably saw their AFC South hopes dashed with the loss. The Titans probably need to change things up offensively (perhaps giving Derrick Henry more early-down touches), but Mariota will look to stay hot next week against the Jets.

MyCole Pruitt catches one pass in loss to the Texans.

It went for 13 yards. Pruitt isn’t a recommended fantasy option as the calendar turns to December.

Keke Couree is questionable to return against the Titans with a hamstring injury.

The rookie has been banged up all year, and it would be a surprise if he returned tonight. Coutee will finish with two receptions for 14 yards if his night is over, and he is probably in danger of missing next week’s game against the Browns.
