Nick Chubb returned to Houston’s lineup and punched in his first Texans TD since signing with the team, finishing a gritty night with a 25-yard late carry for the go-ahead. He logged 12 carries for 43 yards, providing a trusted ground presence in a tight clash with Tampa Bay.

Houston leaned on the veteran late, and the score near the two-minute mark underscored his value in crunch time. The one-year deal is already showing a tangible-down-the-stretch impact, and fantasy managers will watch how the backfield roles settle as Houston eyes a .500 mark entering Week 3 against Jacksonville.

Houston’s MNF setback leaves the Texans 0-2 as the offense stalls after an opening Nico Collins TD. CJ Stroud absorbs three sacks and the run game remains dormant while Tampa Bay rumbles for 360 yards (169 rushing). Baker Mayfield punctuates a late drive to seal a 20-19 win. A critical goal-line stand on 2nd-and-1 sums up Houston’s night and intensifies questions about the offense and play calling as they head to Jacksonville.

Tampa Bay’s Baker Mayfield delivered a clutch, late-game masterclass to push the Buccaneers to 2-0, surviving a bid by Houston to steal the show. A shuffled line finally settled, Mayfield engineered a two-minute march that culminated in a Rachaad White TD and a gritty, field-position battle that kept the Texans on edge. Emeka Egbuka flashed in his first big two-game arc, while the defense held on in the red zone and the special teams defined the edge.

Houston fought back through C.J. Stroud, and the Texans benefited from short drives and a punting carousel, but a final stand by Tampa Bay’s defense and Mayfield’s timely accuracy sealed the win. Fantasy angles sharpen: Mayfield’s late-game ceiling, White’s steady usage, and Evans’ consistent floor targets kept the Buccaneers relevant even as the offense faced a revolving door on the line.

Rachaad White caps a dramatic 20-19 comeback for Tampa Bay in Houston with a 2-yard TD run as six seconds remain. Baker Mayfield lashed two TDs on 25-of-38 for 215 yards, fueling a 2-0 start for the Buccaneers. Houston pressed late behind a punt return and a blocked punt but couldn’t seal it, leaving Nick Chubb's TD run as a late spark. Joe Burrow faces toe surgery and months out; Minnesota’s J.J. McCarthy injures an ankle; Colts sit 2-0. A crowded slate reshapes fantasy value as Chargers and Raiders loom.
