AFC South

Houston Texans - Carter Can

Quarterback: Deshaun Watson (100%)

Running Backs: Lamar Miller (54%), Alfred Blue (47%)

Wide Receivers: DeAndre Hopkins (99%), Demaryius Thomas (79%), DeAndre Carter (58%)

Tight Ends: Ryan Griffin (80%), Jordan Thomas (53%), Jordan Akins (28%)

If Keke Coutee misses more time, the Houston Texans seem to have found a reliable fill-in. DeAndre Carter saw his usage shoot up to 58% of the team's snaps, and he make them count, catching 6 passes for 32 yards, good for 9.2 PPR points.

Indianapolis Colts - When the Going Gets Tough, Get Hines

Quarterback: Andrew Luck (100%)

Running Backs: Nyheim Hines (59%), Marlon Mack (38%)

Wide Receivers: T.Y. Hilton (87%), Dontrelle Inman (71%), Zach Pascal (55%), Ryan Grant (55%)

Tight Ends: Eric Ebron (76%), Erik Swoope (18%), Ryan Hewitt (17%)

The Indianapolis Colts couldn't get much of anything going on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. That is, of course, except for running back Nyheim Hines, who once again showed the receiving skills that made him useful earlier this season. He caught 9 passes for 50 yards. If the Colts are forced into more games where they can't move the ball on the ground (they have the Texans and Cowboys on tap), Hines could end up being a very useful addition in the fantasy playoffs.

Jacksonville Jaguars - Don't Get a Yeldon Just Yet

Quarterback: Cody Kessler (100%)

Running Backs: T.J. Yeldon (60%), Carlos Hyde (40%)

Wide Receivers: Dede Westbrook (88%), Donte Moncrief (79%), Keelan Cole (62%), Rashad Greene (28%)

Tight End: James O'Shaughnessy (67%)

This is just a friendly reminder that the Jaguars will have Leonard Fournette back this week. While TJ Yeldon's 7-catch, 49-yard performance was nice last week, don't get used to it. This is Fournette's team, through and through.

Tennessee Titans - Don't Sleep on Jonnu

Quarterback: Marcus Mariota (100%)

Running Backs: Dion Lewis (73%), Derrick Henry (27%)

Wide Receivers: Corey Davis (96%), Tajae Sharpe (78%), Taywan Taylor (43%), Cameron Batson (34%)

Tight Ends: Jonnu Smith (71%), Luke Stocker (37%), Anthony Firkser (26%), MyCole Pruitt (10%)

Jonnu Smith took a bit of a step back this week, but don't fret. He was on the field for 71% of the team's snaps. The looks will be there, and he's one of Mariota's best red zone threats. In a down year for tight ends, he's been a welcome surprise.
