Alfred Blue carries seven times in Texans’ loss.

Blue ran well, gaining 36 yards on his seven attempts. He’s currently not getting enough work to deliver fantasy value, so Blue is just a good real-life contributor for the Texans for now.

The Titans signed Nick Williams.

Williams spent the summer with the Titans, and now he’s back to fill a reserve receiver role. He should also contribute on special teams. Williams can currently be ignored for fantasy purposes.

Lamar Miller gets 16 touches in Week 2.

Miller carried 14 times for 68 yards and added two receptions for two yards in the loss to the Titans. Alfred Blue continues to mix in behind Miller, but Miller is the clear lead running back for Houston. He’s a solid high-floor option in Week 3 fantasy lineups.

Anthony Miller scores first career touchdown in MNF victory.

Miller caught two passes for 11 yards, including a ten-yard score in the fourth quarter. Chicago’s second-round pick has the talent to be a difference-maker, but his fantasy production will probably be volatile with Allen Robinson established as the clear No. 1 receiver and Jordan Howard, Trey Burton, Tarik Cohen, and Taylor Gabriel all involved. We’ll see if Miller can keep it going in Week 3 against the Cardinals, but he is only an option in deeper redraft leagues right now.

Deshaun Watson goes over 300 yards in Texans’ loss.

Houston is now 0-2 this season, and the offensive line is a key reason why, as Watson is getting a lot of pressure on him early in the year. Watson was 22/32 for 310 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception along with five carries for 44 rushing yards in the Week 2 loss. The interception was on a throw into double coverage to DeAndre Hopkins in the end zone, and the touchdowns were to Hopkins and Will Fuller for 28 and 39 yards. In Week 3, Watson faces a Giants team that might struggle to get after him like the Patriots and Texans have through two weeks.

Allen Robinson catches ten passes in win over the Seahawks.

Robinson had ten receptions for 83 yards, operating as the clear No. 1 target. The short-to-intermediate targets were particularly encouraging, as Robinson was consistently picking up yardage throughout the night. We would think the downfield plays are coming soon, too, and there was a chance for one tonight if Mitchell Trubisky didn’t underthrow it. Robinson has looked 100% coming off the torn ACL, and he’s an every-week, high-upside WR2, even next Sunday against Patrick Peterson and the Cardinals.

Logan Paulsen catches one pass in win over the Panthers.

It went for 10 yards. Paulsen isn’t on the fantasy radar behind Austin Hooper.
