Kevin Szafraniec continues his deep dive into the AFC South by identifying the best and worst picks on the Houston Texans’ roster in 2026 best ball drafts.
The Texans have seen their fair share of success since head coach DeMeco Ryans and quarterback C.J. Stroud arrived in Houston back in 2023. However, that success hasn’t always transferred over to fantasy, where the value of the Texans’ primary weapons has fluctuated year over year.
The fantasy community is generally less optimistic about the Houston offense than they have been heading into previous seasons, which could create chances to buy low on some very talented players. But there are valid reasons these players are available at a discount, with a bland offense being chief among them.
Will 2026 be the year the Texans finally get their offense running on all cylinders, or will drafters’ skepticism prove justified when we look back on the season?
In this series, we will focus on best ball ADP from the FFPC slim format, which features 20-round drafts, tight-end premium scoring (1.5 points per TE reception and 1.0 PPR for all other positions), and starting lineups consisting of one quarterback, two running backs, two wide receivers, one tight end, and two standard flex spots.
