Texans vs Rams – Week 1 Fantasy Football Preview

C.J. Stroud opens Year 3 with a retooled offense but a shaky O-line, while Matthew Stafford manages back issues and the Rams lean on Kyren Williams.

Line: Rams -2.5 | Total: 44.5

Vegas leans toward the Rams in what looks like a physical, mid-total matchup. The Texans will turn to Nick Chubb after Joe Mixon’s injury landed him on NFI list to start the year, though questions linger about his post-injury efficiency. Dameon Pierce and Woody Marks sit behind him, but neither has more than bench-level value for now. For the Rams, Stafford enters the season banged up with back concerns, and Kyren Williams’ workload is a storyline after his new extension and chatter about usage limits.
