The Texans gave up a lot of yards to Justin Blackmon in Week 11. They will allow zero to Titus Young.
Titus Young injury: Out for Thursday, no fantasy value
Will Ryan Broyles step up in his place? We break down the fantasy implications.
Al Messerschmidt
The Detroit Lions have ruled Young out for Thursday's Thanksgiving matchup against Houston, leaving Matthew Stafford even more shorthanded than he already has been. With Nate Burleson on injured reserve, Ryan Broyles becomes the only receiver on the team besides Calvin Johnson to top 150 yards this year. And Broyles only has 181.
Young has had some good games this year, but still was only at 33 catches for 383 yards and four touchdowns.
Fantasy Take: Broyles has every chance to become the second best receiver on this team, but might not be ready for that role yet. Right now it’s Calvin Johnson against the world. After giving up over 200 yards to Justin Blackmon last week, the Texans might actually give up the world to Megatron.
Tackle Jeff Backus is listed as doubtful.
