Fantasy Football: Texans going all-in on the pass game — and it's revealed a new flex option

Fantasy football analyst Chris Allen breaks down some of the interesting storylines coming out of Week 6's Sunday action.

Houston Texans are heavily emphasizing their pass game after Week 6 of fantasy football. Quarterbacks Trevor Lawrence and C.J. Stroud showcased their skills in a game against the Jaguars, with Stroud's command of the offense reaching an all-time high. Houston's defensive strategies, including using extra linemen and faster dropbacks, contributed to Stroud's low pressure rate and highest EPA per dropback of the season.

Mid- and late-round picks like Nico Collins, Jaylin Noel, and Xavier Hutchinson have shown promise, with Collins being a standout pass-catcher. Colts quarterback Daniel Jones had a difficult week, struggling to connect with receivers and averaging fewer first downs per game. Veteran Josh Downs' return provided opportunities for Allen, who has proven to be an invaluable asset to the quarterback, especially when facing structured defenses.

The Colts' future matchups against the Vikings and Jaguars may provide more opportunities for Allen to showcase his skills.
