Pollard scored his first touchdown of the year last week, and the Texans gave up three rushing TDs to Javonte Williams. There's not much to like here otherwise, as Houston's disappointment on defense has largely been due to struggles defending the pass. The Texans have held running backs to 3.6 YPC (6th) and 17.3 PPR points per game (6th)

STACKED’s take

Negative signalMatchup

Pollard's first TD masks Texans' strong run defense (3.6 YPC, 6th); Al-Shaair may return.

Pollard is a sit/downgrade in Week 5 with only 34% started. He scored his first touchdown of the year last week, but the Texans defense has largely struggled defending the pass rather than the run. Houston has held running backs to 3.6 YPC (6th-best) and 17.3 PPR points per game (6th-best), with Javonte Williams accounting for the only three rushing TDs allowed. Additionally, Texans LB Azeez Al-Shaair (groin) may return this Sunday after missing last week's loss to Dallas.
