Houston Texans: Grading loss to Jacksonville for an 0-3 start

Texans fall to 0-3 as C.J. Stroud remains unsettled, finishing 25 of 38 for 204 yards with 1 TD and 2 INTs. The offense lacks a clear identity; the run game stalls despite Nick Chubb and Woody Marks averaging over 4 yards per carry. Nico Collins delivers a 50-yard TD to tie it late, but a fumble deep in Jaguars territory sinks Houston's hopes. Penalties and coaching miscues loom large in a 17-10 defeat at EverBank Stadium.

Houston's defense shows flashes, with Jalen Pitre's fourth-quarter INT and Will Anderson Jr. pressuring the passer, but Jaguars close out on Etienne's 10-yard TD with under two minutes left. Special teams woes—Fairbairn's miss—caps a rough day. DeMeco Ryans faces questions as the Texans regroup after this tough divisional loss.

Texans PFF grades: Top & Bottom defensive players in win vs. Lions

Graham Mertz shined in Houston’s 26-7 win over Detroit, going 14-of-16 for 145 yards with two 20+ yard throws and a 20-yard scramble, hinting at a strong dress-rehearsal case for Houston’s QB depth. Xavier Hutchinson hauled in a pivotal 24-yard third-and-11 to fuel a Texans drive. Detroit’s Hendon Hooker faced a late interception by Jalen Mills as Houston’s defense produced three sacks and a takeaway. PFF graded five Texans defenders—Arthur Maulet, Dylan Horton, Jalen Mills, Jake Hansen and Tommy Togiai—top, while D’Angelo Ross, EJ Speed, Jamal Hill, Casey Toohill and Junior Tafuna logged lower marks. The Togiai-T fatukasi note underscored roster battles, with Togiai rising in two preseason games and Fatukasi fighting for a spot.

Houston Texans roster projection: Who makes the team?

Texans finalize a 53-man roster with Stroud as Week 1 starter, while Mills, Slovis and Mertz shape QB depth on a potential practice-squad path. Pierce headlines the backfield with Ogunbowale and Marks as grinders, and Mixon on NFI could preserve Pierce’s workload. Collins and Hutchinson anchor a crowded WR corps, Schultz leads a versatile TE group, and the line stabilizes behind Ersery and Howard. On defense, Anderson anchors the edge with Rankins and Settle inside, while Pitre and Gardner-Johnson patrol the back end as rookies and role players battle for spots.

Which Texans player(s) from these projections present the clearest Week 1 fantasy value after roster cuts?How should fantasy managers approach Texans’ WR depth in the opening weeks given Collins and Hutchinson as the core?What IDP angles emerge from Will Anderson Jr.'s presence on the Texans' defense in the early portion of the season?Which Texans RB(s) hold the clearest Week 1 fantasy path given Pierce as the centerpiece and Mixon/NFL status on the fence?What is the best approach to using Schultz and Collins together in Week 1 lineups?

92 days until the Texans' 2025 season opener: Who has worn No. 92?

As the Houston Texans count down to their 2025 season opener against the Los Angeles Rams, the team reflects on the legacy of players who have worn the number 92 since its inception in 2002. This includes notable names like Dylan Horton, who has shown resilience after battling cancer, and other players like Brandon Dunn and Earl Mitchell, who contributed significantly to the team. Horton, currently a depth piece in the defensive lineup, has the potential to become a key player in the Texans' future in DeMeco Ryans' defense.
