Indianapolis @ Houston
Team Totals: Texans 26, Colts 20.5
Down to an anemic 48.5% completion rate on the year — he converted 59.5% of his rookie-year throws — Anthony Richardson has become a persistent hindrance on Indy’s passing offense, rendering the likes of Michael Pittman Jr. and Josh Downs virtually unplayable in fantasy. Beginning with most recent, Pittman’s receiving lines in Richardson’s six career fully-played games are 3/63/0, 4/36/0, 3/21/0, 4/31/0, 1/15/0, and 8/97/1. Downs’ stat lines in those contests in which he played are 1/3/0, 3/22/0, 2/34/0, and 3/30/0. I’d rather tee up the Texans’ D/ST than any Colts passing-game member. … HC Shane Steichen expressed optimism this week that Jonathan Taylor (high ankle sprain) — out since Week 4 — could resume practicing ahead of Sunday’s game. I don’t expect Taylor’s availability to become clear until late in the week. In last Sunday’s loss to Miami, shifty if undersized speedster Tyler Goodson out-touched plodder Trey Sermon 14 to 9, even as they shared snaps near evenly. The Texans have held enemy running backs to the NFL’s fifth-fewest fantasy points.
