Texans Lock Up LT Duane Brown For Six Years: Fantasy Implications
The Texans have extended LT Duane Brown for six years and $53.4 million. We break down the fantasy implications.
Analysis: This is great deal for the Texans - they lock up one of the best left tackles in the league and don't have to wait until the offseason to try re-signing him. According to Pro Football Focus, Brown hasn't allowed a sack in his last 686 pass plays, and only allowed five QB hits in that span. He's a rock for Houston's O-line, and fantasy owners should breathe a bit easier about Matt Schaub staying upright and Arian Foster finding running lanes.
