Likely has exploded into the TE2 on TE3 usage over his last four games, averaging 15.0 half PPR points on a 29% target share. The Texans rank 25th in half PPR points allowed to TEs at 8.1 per game, but they haven't faced the top fantasy TEs in a bit. They're healthier at LB now and were dominant against the position last season, so there's no way to spin this as a positive matchup at all.

Positive signalMatchup

Likely faces unfavorable Texans defense despite strong recent production.

Likely has exploded into TE2 on TE3 usage over his last four games, averaging 15.0 half PPR points on a 29% target share, and is exactly TE2 on TE3 usage over the entire season. J.J. McCarthy should provide more athleticism than Jameis Winston, but the Texans rank 25th in half PPR points allowed to TEs at 8.1 per game and haven't faced top fantasy TEs recently. Houston was dominant against the position last season and is now healthier at LB, making this a poor matchup. Likely operates as a slot WR on just 4% inline snaps. The Giants have the lowest team total of Week 7 (16.25) as road dogs.
