Cobie Durant delivered a Week 1 standout, ripping a jump-ball interception away from a Houston rookie, stacking on to a career-long ball-hawking profile that already included 151 return yards as a rookie. This play underscored Durant’s ceilings as a playmaker for the Rams defense, suggesting a path to multiple interception opportunities this season. Fantasy managers should watch how his ball skills translate into points and defensive returns as the Rams push to pressure opposing passers.

Jayden Higgins, the Texans’ rookie WR, drew Durant’s attention with the close coverage that produced the INT, offering a reminder that Houston’s receiving corps will rely on rookies and depth pieces to spark the offense. For fantasy purposes, Durant’s hot start could buoy Rams D/ST expectations, while Higgins’ role will hinge on how Houston fortifies its target tree and offensive line. Week 2 could hinge on adjustments and opportunities for both sides.
