Houston Texans vs. Jacksonville Jaguars Start Em’, Sit Em’| September 29, 2024

The Texans matchup with the Jaguars will be a game to highlight simply due to the injuries that the Texans have. Joe Mixon is still nursing his ankle (although he practiced on Friday), while Nico Collins is now claiming an injury, and Tank Dell is dealing with his rib. This means the Texans will post an interesting lineup on Sunday. The Jaguars also still have weapons despite being winless.

Start em’ Cam Akers (DraftKings Price 5.3K, FanDuel Price 6.1K)

Joe Mixon did practice in full on Friday, but that likely isn’t enough to clear him to play a full game. That means starting duty will fall to Cam Akers. He had a mediocre showing against Minnesota, but he is still a quick, shifty back who’s hard to bring down.

Start em’ Christian Kirk (DraftKings Price 5.2K, FanDuel Price 5.6K)

So, Christian Kirk owners haven’t been too happy this season. In their last matchup against the Bills, though, Kirk received 10 targets. Trevor Lawrence might be appreciating Kirk as his best target, and he will need to throw a lot to win this game.

Start em’ John Metchie III (DraftKings Price 3K, FanDuel Price 4K)

Metchie III Is a great player to put on a bench assuming both Collins and Dell don’t play. Teams had their eye on Metchie III during the Preseason, so giving him some targets in this game would only add to his trade value.

Sit em’ Trevor Lawrence (DraftKings Price 5.7, FanDuel Price 6.9K)

Even if Lawrence has good games in the future, there are assuredly other quarterbacks players can stream if they are worried about that position. Jaylen Daniels, Derek Carr, and even Baker Mayfield have a better upside while being unrostered in many leagues.

Sit em’ Travis Etienne (DraftKings Price 7K, FanDuel Price 7.2K)

This matchup against the Texans doesn’t look like a good opportunity for Etienne. The Jaguars will likely be playing from behind, which means they will be throwing a lot. Still, players are going to want to bench Etienne, because he is definitely a start throughout the rest of the season.

Sit em’ Joe Mixon (DraftKings Price 6.8K, FanDuel Price 7.9K)

Even assuming he plays, Mixion would be on a snap count for sure. Mixon is a large part of the Texans offense, and they likely won’t risk him too much while his ankle heals.

Total Apex Lock

Stefon Diggs (DraftKings Price 6.6K, FanDuel Price 7.1K)

Right now is looking like the ideal situation for Diggs. Both of his main competitors for targets (Nico Colllins and Tank Dell) have injuries. That means C.J. Stroud will dial up the connection to Diggs early and often.

Total Apex Fade

Gabe Davis (DraftKings Price 4.7K, FanDuel Price 5.7K)

Unfortunately, the Jaguars haven’t put enough points on the board to make use of Gabe Davis. The former Buffalo Bill is a great red zone option, but the Jaguars need to stop getting stuffed by opposing defenses to utilize Davis.
