Week 7 vs. Houston Texans
Eric Ebron had a terrible game against the Chiefs before the bye last week, catching only one of the four balls thrown his way for eight yards. Ebron has scored two touchdowns this season and after 10 a year ago, he has upside as a red zone threat. However, his lack of overall production and the Colts’ emphasis on the run game – 11th in rushing attempts, 27th in passing attempts – this season makes him a risky option for fantasy owners.
Against the Texans this week, Ebron theoretically should do well. Houston allows the ninth-most passing yards per game to opposing offenses. However, the Texans are number on in aFPA to opposing tight ends, making it risky to trust him. He should be considered a low-end streaming option at best, and fantasy owners should look elsewhere if possible.
