From the article

CeeDee Lamb set the tone with 17 catches for 189 yards in Week 4, and three different Jacksonville receivers finished with at least four catches and 59 yards last week. Houston is a run-funnel defense that shuts down the ground game and forces opponents to throw, and once teams do, they've found far more success than opponents did against this unit a year ago.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalMatchup

Lamb exploited Texans' weak secondary in Week 4 (17 rec, 189 yds); matchup repeats with safety injuries.

Lamb faces a Texans defense that ranks 27th in passing yards allowed (265 per game) and 26th in completions of 25-plus yards allowed (13). The Texans are a run-funnel defense that forces opponents to throw, and their secondary struggles have been compounded by injuries at safety: Jalen Pitre (shoulder, week-to-week since Week 5) and Reed Blankenship (concussion, likely out Week 7). Lamb set the tone against Houston in Week 4 with 17 catches for 189 yards, demonstrating his ability to exploit this vulnerable secondary.
