Full Texans rooting guide for Week 16:
- Eagles
- Browns
- Cowboys
- Broncos
- Lions
- Niners
- Ravens
This would put them above 99% at playoffs with a 62% chance at winning the AFC South.
How high can the Texans jump in the AFC playoff picture this week?
The Texans have elevated DT Marlon Davidson & CB Alijah Huzzie from the practice squad for their game vs the Raiders.
Houston has had injuries to both rooms including Tim Settle/Mario Edwards at DT and possibly without Derek Stingley Jr. tomorrow.
I doubt Matt Burke actually gets a HC job but for the Texans sake it’s probably better than he doesn’t even outside of just being the DC.
If he becomes a HC it’s likely his OC is somebody like Jerrod Johnson or Bill Lazor who are key offensive coaches for the Texans currently with an improving offense and offensive staff.
Continuity from this staff that has done a good job post bye would be huge.
Watching the Texans core of players being:
C.J. Stroud - 24
Will Anderson Jr. - 24
Derek Stingley Jr. - 24
Nico Collins - 26
While also having 6 picks in the first 4 rounds next year.
It’s a special time to be a Texans fan.
Over the last 3-4 weeks the Texans WR snap count has changed with more Nico/Higgins/Hutchinson being the main 3 WRs for the unit.
Since Week 13 the WR room snaps go as following:
Nico Collins - 163
Jayden Higgins - 134
Xavier Hutchinson - 90
Christian Kirk - 78
Jaylin Noel - 54
Texans Injury Report for Week 16 vs the Raiders:
Azeez Al-Shaair - Questionable (Ankle/Foot)
Derek Stingley Jr. - Questionable (Oblique)
Christian Kirk - Questionable (Illness)
Woody Marks - Questionable (Ankle)
Nick Chubb - Questionable (Ribs)

With a win on Sunday vs the Raiders HC Demeco Ryans & QB C.J. Stroud would be the first duo in NFL History to start their careers with 3 consecutive 10+ win seasons.
They also have the chance to extend their record of division titles in these final 3 weeks.
