Jacksonville @ Houston
Team Totals: Jaguars 23.5, Texans 19.5
Whereas the division-rival Titans plan to rest anyone even remotely banged up for their meaningless Thursday night bout with Dallas, Doug Pederson sounded vehement Wednesday that he’ll be sticking with his starters against the Texans. Trevor Lawrence is playing the best football of his career, and the Jaguars have won their last three plus four of their last five. Lawrence has a dazzling 14:1 TD-to-INT ratio over his last seven games and two more rushing scores. He’s fantasy’s overall QB5 since Week 9. This game’s 4.5-point spread suggests a close contest against the frisky Texans, who beat Tennessee in Week 16 after giving the Chiefs and Cowboys one-score runs for their money in the previous two weeks. … Travis Etienne’s 22 carries in Week 16’s blowout win over the Jets were his most since Week 9, and his three catches matched a season best. Etienne is mired in a six-game scoreless drought but should be teed up as an upside RB1/2 against a Houston defense allowing 5.1 yards per carry plus the league’s most rushing yards (2,105), most rushing touchdowns (18), and most fantasy points to running backs.
