Could see increased boundary/slot reps if Stingley is out, translating to higher tackle and defensed opportunities for fantasy lines.

Smith filled in at corner vs Jacksonville, allowed 1 catch for -2 yards on six targets, and drew praise from coaches for tackling and coverage. If Stingley misses time, Smith could reprise a starting role and be a practical fantasy and DFS plug-in with solid tackle upside.

If Stingley can’t go, Tremon Smith is in line to start at corner, stepping into increased coverage duties for the Texans.

Smith filled in for Stingley with solid efficiency in coverage and a favorable matchup if Stingley misses more time, potentially earning a larger defensive role in Sunday’s game against Tennessee.

With Stingley out, Tremon Smith stepped in, serving as a larger contributor on defense and special teams, but the depth behind Stingley remains a concern.
