Thursday Night Football: Eagles Offensive Players Are A Must Play Versus Texans Defense
Thursday Night Football means setting your rosters a little earlier, we’ve got player rankings for the Eagles and the Texans
If you've got Philadelphia players on your roster, this is an ideal game for you. All year long we've talked about the Texans defense, specifically the pass defense, and how they allow yards and touchdowns in bunches. Last week, the Bears defense was able to slow down the Eagles attack for large parts of the game, but there's no comparison between the Bears defense and the Texans defense. Michael Vick, DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin should all be in your lineup if you own them.
On the Texans side of the ball, they go up against a Philly defense that has been playing good football recently, although they struggled last week containing the big plays from the Bears offense. Running back Arian Foster is a must-play every week, and if you own Matt Schaub or Andre Johnson, you'll probably want to play them unless you have some really good alternatives.
