Adds to sack total Sunday
DEDallas Cowboys
October 7, 2025
Houston recorded three tackles (two solo) including 1.5 sacks during Sunday's 37-22 win against the Jets.
ANALYSIS
Despite being boxed out for snaps (22) on the edge by rookie second-rounder Donovan Ezeiruaku (42) and Sam Williams (33), Houston picked up a sack for the third time in his last four games in Week 5, bringing his season total to 3.5. He'll be looking to add to that count in Week 6 at Carolina.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Houston is looking to leave behind an ankle injury that limited him to just two games in 2023, operating as a top reserve option behind Aidan Hutchinson and Marcus Davenport on the defensive line.
Houston had an up-and-down rookie campaign in 2022, when the sixth-round draft pick earned 134 defensive snaps as a pass-rushing specialist. Although most of Detroit's snaps at linebacker will go to Alex Anzalone and first-round pick Jack Campbell, Houston should still have plenty of chances to get to the quarterback as a rotational piece in 2023.
