SUMMARY
Def / ST Rank: #22   
Overall: #294

Despite having one of the elite pass rushers in the game (Mario Williams), the Texans still managed just 25 sacks. Williams gets little support. There were just two other players on the team last year that had more than a sack. The Texans will need to get some production from end Antonio Smith and tackle Amobi Okoye if this team hopes to improve defensively. Linebacker DeMeco Ryans is a star and top playmaker for the Texans. He does well in support of the run and in pass coverage. The pass defense is improving with corner back Dunta Robinson becoming a shutdown corner. The Texans boast a top return game with Jacoby Jones and Andre Davis getting most of the work. Jones had two punt returns for touchdowns last season and averaged 12.1 yards per return.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
Not a very exciting unit. They have some sack potential because of Williams, but don't have much else besides. But the secondary remains a concern and the Texans aren't likely to be great against the run. If you want some sacks and a good special teams, give the Texans a spot on your roster.
