The Texans' Week 10 bye comes at a good time for DE Mario Williams, who has played through a bruised left shoulder for several weeks.

Johnson, Andre (WR)
Posted Nov. 02, 2009 @ 4:12 p.m.
Johnson had six catches for 63 yards and a two-point conversion in the Texans' 31-10 win over Buffalo on Sunday.
Not the best of fantasy performances by Johnson, but his owners should simply be pleased that he was out there following last week's lung contusion. The Texans have a tough matchup with Indianapolis on Sunday, but Johnson has put up respectable numbers in his last five games against the Colts, with 364 yards and three touchdowns in that stretch.
Moats, Ryan (RB)
Posted Nov. 02, 2009 @ 4:04 p.m.
After Steve Slaton was sent to the bench following his fifth lost fumble of the season, Moats took control on Sunday, becoming the first player in Texans history to score three touchdowns in one game in a 31-10 win over the Buffalo Bills.
Moats rolled up 126 yards on the ground and will likely be the hottest pick-up of the week in fantasy leagues. It's unclear how the carries will be split up between Moats and Slaton going forward, but the veteran and career backup certainly proved he can handle a heavy load with 23 carries against the Bills.
Slaton, Steve (RB)
Posted Nov. 02, 2009 @ 4:01 p.m.
Slaton was sent to the bench after losing his fifth fumble of the season in a 31-10 win over Buffalo on Sunday.
After Ryan Moats came in and became the first player in franchise history to score three touchdowns in one game, totaling 126 yards on the ground, Slaton's situation became very unclear. Gary Kubiak won't say who the starter is going forward, but this doesn't bode well for Slaton's fantasy value either way. Be sure to scoop up Moats if he's still available in your league.
Schaub, Matt (QB)
Posted Nov. 02, 2009 @ 3:57 p.m.
Schaub was 25 for 34 for 268 yards in Sunday's 31-10 win over Buffalo, but it turned into a bad fantasy line with no touchdowns and two interceptions.
This was surprising after Schaub had thrown 16 touchdowns in the previous six games, but Ryan Moats scored three times on the ground to account for most of the Texans' points. Schaub could be slowed by the loss of tight end Owen Daniels for the season to a knee injury, but he also could be throwing the ball often if Houston falls behind at unbeaten Indianapolis on Sunday.
Daniels, Owen (TE)
Posted Nov. 01, 2009 @ 12:38 p.m.
Daniels has a torn knee ligament and will have season-ending surgery to repair the injury. Daniels, who injured the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, was hurt on Houston's second possession in Sunday's win at Buffalo when he caught his foot in the turf.
The injury derails an outstanding season for the fourth-year player, who will finish with 40 receptions for 519 yards and five touchdowns.
