Tom Savage plays well as Texans defeat the Cardinals.

Savage played what was probably the best game of his career so far in the Week 11 victory, as he was 22/32 for 230 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception, and one fumble lost. The touchdowns were to Lamar Miller (on a dime in the red zone to the side of the end zone) and DeAndre Hopkins (on a great 28-yard deep ball to the end zone). Things are likely to get tougher against the Ravens next week, but Savage will look to keep it going.

The Texans released quarterback Josh Johnson.

Houston had to make room for the recently-claimed Andre Ellington. There might be a chance the Texans bring him back, but other teams will be interested at some point if not.

Cooper Kupp caught six passes for 64 yards in Sunday’s loss to Minnesota.

Kupp had a decent stat line, but he also lost a key fumble and dropped what would have been a big gain to set Los Angeles up in scoring territory. The rookie receiver will be a low-end FLEX option in PPR leagues next week as the Rams host the Saints.

The Texans claimed running back Andre Ellington.

This is pretty cool, as Ellington is cousins with Texans receiver Bruce Ellington, who the team picked up earlier this season.  While getting cut by the Cardinals probably wasn’t fun, it’s good to know that Ellington is going to a locker room with a very familiar face. With rookie running back D’Onta Foreman done for the season, Andre Ellington should be in line for some snaps in the backfield—though he’ll almost certainly be behind Alfred Blue as the primary backup to Lamar Miller.

Jermaine Gresham catches one pass in Week 11.

Gresham gained ten yards on his lone reception, and undrafted rookie Ricky Seals-Jones out-targeted him, 5-1, and caught two touchdowns in the game. Gresham is a risky fantasy option, as Seals-Jones’ role might grow moving forward.

Sterling Shepard (illness) did not practice today.

You have to feel for Shepard, as he apparently continues to deal with migraines that forced him to miss Week 11’s game against the Chiefs. Hopefully he’s feeling better soon, but the official injury report for the Thanksgiving game against the Redskins will be released sometime tomorrow.

Robert Woods keeps it up in loss to the Vikings.

Woods caught eight passes for 81 yards, both of which led the team. The 25-year-old benefitted from Xavier Rhodes shadowing Sammy Watkins, but his success didn’t lead to many points for Los Angeles. They should bounce back in Week 12 against New Orleans. Woods has earned low-end WR2/FLEX status.
