Home Team in CAPS

Houston 20 INDIANAPOLIS 14 (+7): Outside of their two running backs - Tate as a flex - and defense, not terribly excited about the Texans fantasy weapons. T. J. Yates is doing what he can, but hard to trust the rookie even against the Colts...Even though Donald Brown's matchup is hardly ideal - Texans defense allowing second fewest points to fantasy runners - I wouldn't laugh at anyone using him as a flex play or low-end RB2. Has touchdowns in three of last four games. As for the receivers, I guess Garcon and Wayne have some WR3 value, but I don't see this game turning into a rout where the Colts are throwing on nearly every play.
