#6 - S. Diggs: O 19.5 Long Rec
Stefon Diggsβ box score dipped last week, but his usage and alignment keep his explosive-play upside intact.
β’ Has cleared this number in three of his last four games
β’ Houston has allowed wide receiver catches of 66, 53, 30, 25, 23, and 21 yards over the last two weeks
β’ Diggs ran a route on 85% of dropbacks last game, his second-highest rate of the season, while playing 52% of his snaps from the slot, where Houston allows 8.0 yards per target, ranking 17th
When routes spike and the defense keeps leaking chunk plays, one explosive catch is enough.
#5 - H. Henry: O 39.5 Rec Yards
Hunter Henryβs weekly volume fluctuates, but his role near the end zone keeps his yardage path intact.
β’ Has surpassed this number in three straight games
β’ Owns 33.8% of New Englandβs red-zone targets, the highest share among tight ends
β’ Houston allows just 6.1 yards per target to tight ends, ranking 4th, but has allowed a 6.2% touchdown rate to the position, ranking 22nd
When red-zone usage drives opportunity, Henryβs yardage clears on limited volume. My #1 pick is another Patriot, but his rushing opportunities may be more limited than most expect.
#4 - R. Stevenson: O 20.5 Rec Yards
Rhamondre Stevensonβs efficiency on the ground faces resistance, but his receiving role continues to shine.
β’ Has cleared this number in six straight games, including 75 receiving yards in Round 1
β’ Running backs account for 22.9% of Houstonβs receptions allowed, the sixth-highest rate in the league
β’ Houston allows 7.4 yards per reception to running backs out of the backfield, ranking 20th
When rushing lanes tighten, Stevensonβs production shifts to the passing game.
#3 - K. Boutte: U 33.5 Rec Yards
Kayshon Boutteβs role and alignment place him in the toughest version of this matchup.
β’ Has cleared this number just once over his last four games
β’ Houston allows the fourth-fewest receptions to wide receivers and a league-low 54.5% catch rate
β’ Boutte plays 90% of his snaps out wide, where Houston allows just 7.8 yards per target, ranking 5th
When volume is inconsistent and efficiency disappears on the perimeter, yardage becomes hard to come by.
#2 - C. Stroud: U 206.5 Pass Yards
C.J. Stroudβs ceiling narrows in non-spike matchups, and this spot fits that profile.
β’ New England has allowed the ninth-fewest passing yards and has held opponents under 200 yards in nine straight games
β’ Stroudβs spike fantasy weeks came only in clear favorable matchups, none of which mirror this setting
β’ Houston is expected to be without Nico Collins, with Stroudβs yards per attempt and touchdown rate dropping without him
When matchup strength and personnel losses collide, passing volume stays capped.
Pat Freiermuth: U 34.5 Rec Yards cashed last MNF. Finished with 1 catch for 18 yards
