Cincinnati @ Houston
Team Totals: Texans 24.5, Bengals 21.5
Playing at Houston would normally be viewed as a prohibitive matchup, but Josh Allen just faced this defense in the same venue and ranked No. 2 among quarterbacks in Week 1 yards per pass attempt (11.5) and No. 3 in passer rating (130.5). The Texans showed enough pass-funnel tendencies for optimism that Joe Burrow — an MVP candidate in his own right — can deliver QB1 fantasy production here, especially after an improved Bengals offensive line protected Burrow to the tune of the league’s lowest Opening Day pressure rate (19%). … The Texans’ run defense also took a Week 1 hit, losing SLB Henry To’oTo’o (shoulder) to I.R. Fresh off a 21-touch opener, Chase Brown remains a volume-secure RB1.
