Henry To'oTo'o - Pick leads to points To'oTo'o recorded six tackles and an interception in Sunday's 26-23 loss to Detroit in Week 10.

Impact To'oTo'o had one of five Houston interceptions on the night, two of which led to points. The linebacker's interception set up the Texans on the Lions' 36-yard line and led to a 29-yard field goal. It was the first career interception for To'oTo'o, who leads the defense with 56 tackles.

Jimmie Ward - Has pick in loss Ward had five tackles and an interception in Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Lions in Week 10.

Impact Ward battled a groin injury throughout the practice week after missing four games due to the injury. He made an immediate impact, intercepting a Jared Goff pass on Detroit's first possession to set up Houston at the Lions' 33-yard line, leading to a Joe Mixon touchdown run. The pick was the first of the season the 33-year-old Ward, whose two-year run in Houston has been marred by injuries.

Ka'imi Fairbairn - Rebounds in loss Fairbairn connected on three of four field-goal attempts and nailed both extra-point kicks in Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Lions in Week 10.

Impact Fairbairn, who missed a pair of field-goal tries in a Week 9 loss to Jets, rebounded with an 11-point effort, his seventh double-digit week in 10 games. His lone miss was wide left on a 56-yard attempt late in the game, which gave possession to the Lions near midfield and setup their game-winning field goal with no time left on the clock. Despite the miss, it's hard to pin this loss on Fairbairn; all finger pointing should be directed at the defense and offense. Houston owned a 23-7 halftime lead but failed to build on that lead and allowed Detroit to score on its final three possessions.

Steven Sims - Special teams contributor in loss Sims returned three punts for 43 yards in Sunday's 26-23 loss to Detroit in Week 10.

Impact Sims served as Houston's primary return specialist for the second consecutive week, although he never had a chance to return a kickoff. He played two snaps as a receiver and has lined up on offense just 10 times in 2024. With Nico Collins (IR, hamstring) on the verge of returning, likely in Week 11, Sims' spot on the gameday roster may be in jeopardy.

Cade Stover - Multiple targets in loss Stover caught one of two targets for two yards in Sunday's 26-23 loss to Detroit in Week 10.

Impact Stover had a multiple targets, including his first in the red zone, for a third consecutive week. Dalton Schultz remains the primary target at tight end, but Stover is enjoying increased attention due to injuries at wideout. The rookie tight end has eight receptions on 13 targets for 87 yards through 10 games.

Xavier Hutchinson - Season-high four targets Hutchinson caught two of four targets for six yards in Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Lions in Week 10.

Impact The targets were a season high for Hutchinson, who topped the team's wideouts with 57 snaps. It was the second consecutive week he's paced the group in playing time -- due to injuries to Nico Collins (IR, hamstring) and Stefon Diggs (IR, knee) -- but it hasn't translated into anything useful for fantasy rosters. Hutchinson has two catches on seven targets for six yards in those two games. If anyone has emerged as a threat, it's John Metchie, who has eight catches on 12 targets for 103 yards and one touchdown over the last weeks. Collins is likely to return Week 11, which will put a damper on either Hutchinson or Metchie or both.

4 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Robert Woods - Takes back seat to young WRs Woods caught one of three targets for one yard in Sunday's 26-23 loss to Detroit in Week 10.

Impact Woods, who logged 24 snaps, once again served as the fourth wideout, as younger receivers Xavier Hutchinson (57 snaps), Tank Dell (51) and John Metchie (44) have become the primary targets with Nico Collins (IR, hamstring) and Stefon Diggs (IR, knee) unavailable. Collins, who was designated to return but was inactive Sunday, could return Week 11 against Dallas, which would further bury Woods' on-field presence. Woods has eight catches on 13 targets for 91 yards and no touchdowns over eight games played.

4 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Dare Ogunbowale - One touch in loss Ogunbowale had one carry for 11 yards in Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Lions in Week 10.

Impact Ogunbowale once again served as the top backup to Joe Mixon, as Dameon Pierce (hamstring) missed a second straight contest. It was the sixth game overall that Pierce has been inactive due to injury. Ogunbowale was on the field for 15 snaps, as Mixon once again dominated backfield playing time. Since Mixon returned from an injury Week 6, Ogunbowale has six rushes for 28 yards and failed to catch any of five targets.

Texans set franchise record with 5 interceptions but can't hold on in 26-23 loss to Lions

John Metchie III - Breaks out against Lions Metchie recorded five receptions on six targets for 74 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Lions.

Impact Metchie enjoyed the most productive game of his career and paced the Texans with 74 yards. He was particularly impressive on a possession just before halftime, initially hauling in a deep 25-yard pass before capping the drive with a 15-yard touchdown reception -- the first of his career. While Nico Collins (hamstring) is likely to be back in Week 11 against the Cowboys, Metchie could have the chance to earn a larger role across the second half of the season due to the underwhelming showings from Tank Dell.

Kyler Murray squarely in MVP race, and what else we learned in Week 10

FOX Sports' NFL experts identify what we learned about each team from Sunday's games and what it all means going forward.

Kyler Murray squarely in MVP race, and what else we learned in Week 10

Dalton Schultz - Season-best 66 yards Schultz recorded three receptions on four targets for 66 yards in Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Lions.

Impact Schultz earned fewer than five targets for only the second time since Week 3, which came as a surprise given the absence of Nico Collins (hamstring) and Stefon Diggs (knee). However, Schultz still managed his highest yardage total of the season, primarily thanks to a 32-yard reception early in the third quarter. Though it was a positive performance, Schultz has still managed to top 35 yards in only two games for the campaign.

4 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Tank Dell - Earns nine targets Dell recorded five receptions on nine targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Lions.

Impact Dell had another game as the Texans' top pass-catching option with Nico Collins (hamstring) sidelined for another week. However, Dell failed to convert his opportunity, turning in a long reception of just 13 yards while also recording only one reception across the final two quarters. Overall, his disappointing season continued, as he's been held below 50 receiving yards in six of nine contests.

4 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Joe Mixon - Bottled up after early TD Mixon rushed the ball 25 times for 46 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Lions. He added two receptions on four targets for 44 yards.

Impact The Lions have boasted one of the better run defenses for much of the season, and the unit largely limited Mixon on the ground Sunday. The exception came on Houston's first offensive possession, which he capped with an eight-yard touchdown run. Mixon's notable production otherwise came as a pass catcher, when he ripped off a 36-yard catch and run late in the first quarter. While he was bottled up thereafter, Mixon has found the end zone in all but one game this season and has been among the most reliable producers at the position.

4 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

C.J. Stroud - Stalls late in loss Stroud completed 19 of 33 passes for 232 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Lions. He added one rush for five yards.

Impact Stroud was in complete control in the first half, and his form was on display during Houston's final drive before halftime when he went 4-for-6 for 66 yards and a 15-yard touchdown. However, he struggled in the final two quarters, when he went 5-for-13 for 68 yards and a pair of picks. Overall, Stroud has now failed to record multiple touchdowns in four consecutive games while topping 250 passing yards just once in that span, limiting his fantasy appeal.

Kamari Lassiter - Suffers concussion on SNF Lassiter (head) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday night's contest against the Lions due to a concussion.

Impact Lassiter suffered the concussion in the second half of Sunday's matchup, bringing his night to a premature end. The cornerback will have to clear concussion protocol in order to play in Week 11 versus the Cowboys on Monday Night Football. In the meantime, Kris Boyd is amongst the candidates to see an increase in workload in Houston's secondary with Lassiter unavailable.

Impact The cornerback picked off two passes and made a solo tackle before exiting. Lassiter has 29 tackles (22 solo), eight passes defensed and three interceptions on the year. Kris Boyd, Ka'dar Hollman and M.J. Stewart are Houston's available backup corners.
