STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

McCarthy's starting debut vs. Texans defense raises concern about timing of Texans' defensive emergence.

J.J. McCarthy makes his 2026 starting debut against the Texans defense, which has underachieved through the first six weeks but is expected to show up and bring pressure at some point; the source expresses worry that the Texans will "bring the house" in McCarthy's first start, creating a difficult matchup for the young quarterback.
