Indianapolis @ Houston
Team Totals: Colts 27.25, Texans 23.75
Having quietly banked top-12 fantasy scores in five of his last six starts, Philip Rivers enters Week 13 to face a swiss-cheese Texans defense beneath Houston’s NRG Stadium dome. Although Sunday’s game environment combined with Rivers’ rock-solid recent play should keep him locked into two-quarterback-league lineups, Rivers still hasn’t shown nearly enough box-score upside for DFS consideration and is certain to miss LT Anthony Castonzo’s (MCL) blindside protection. … Another factor working against Rivers is Indianapolis’ likely run-game dominance; enemy backs have run roughshod on Houston’s front for 5.25 yards per carry, a league-high 185.7 total-yards average, and 15 all-purpose TDs in 11 games. Indy’s backfield distribution is far harder to parse; before missing Week 12 on the Covid list, Jonathan Taylor seemingly reemerged as the Colts’ top back with 26 touches for 114 yards on a 55% playing-time clip in Week 11’s upset of Green Bay.
