Nico Collins WR2 but with more YPG 50.8 but is missing tonight
Akins at TE- 11/14
OJ Howard TD threat but came in week 1- now use Pierce in short yardage instead
Pierce teams biggest weapon- 77YPG
Pierce 121 of teams 154 carries
4.5 YPC for Pierce and averaged 20 carries per game in his 4 games before the Titans (2nd best run D) last week- had also minimum 80 yards per game in these 4 averaging 100.5 YPG
4th Fewest rush attempts per team- pass instead because they’re usually behind
Texans Defensive Stats
3rd Most Yards allowed- 403.6 YPG but they’ve played low scoring teams including the 2nd, 3rd, 9th, 10th and 13th lowest scorers- play the 3rd highest scorers on this game
16th most PPG conceded- 22 PPG- quite average but on account of playing low scorers
16th for passing yards allowed- 217.6 but they have the fewest pass attempts versus them- 31.5.
Also played Malik Willis and Justin Fields- remove them from their 7 game average and they actually allow 272.2 YPG which is 5th worst
Worst Run D in the league- allow 186 YPG at 5.6 YPC which is the 2nd highest
Titans put up 303 rushing yards vs them last week
Face the most rush attempts per game in the league- 33.4 so expect Sanders and Hurts to run a lot
7 Interceptions and only allowed 5 pass TDs which is second lowest because teams just run
Only made 15 sacks- very average- Hurts will have an open pocket
