Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce and wide receiver Braxton Berrios are both healthy scratches for the Week 4 divisional clash against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. Pierce hasn't been active since the Week 1 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, even with Joe Mixon (ankle, foot) still on the sidelines. It's pretty clear that rookie Woody Marks is the RB2 now behind veteran starter Nick Chubb. Dare Ogunbowale and British Brooks are active behind Chubb and Marks on Sunday. In Week 1, Pierce had just three carries for five yards and failed to catch his only target in the passing game. Berrios missed the first two weeks of the year with a hamstring injury but has now been a healthy scratch for two straight weeks for Houston.

Houston Texans wide receiver Jaylin Noel had only two catches (three targets) for 11 yards in the first three games of the 2025 campaign. Christian Kirk missed two contests to begin the year, so there was an opportunity for others to step up. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, Kirk's absence didn't do anything to benefit Noel, who logged a season-low nine offensive snaps in Week 3. With that in mind, it appears the rookie will see most of his action on special teams, making him nearly irrelevant for managers in any fantasy format heading into the Week 4 matchup with the Tennessee Titans.

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins (knee) missed time earlier in the week but did not get an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against the Titans. He was a limited participant on Wednesday but logged back-to-back full practices to finish the week. Despite the Titans struggling to score many points, Collins has found the end zone in each of the last two weeks, catching three of his nine targets for 52 yards and a score in Week 2 and following with his best game of the year, racking up eight catches for 104 yards and his second score of the season. While Nick Caley's offense hasn't been firing on all cylinders with QB C.J. Stroud at the helm, Collins has still been very involved and is a must-start WR1 now that he is healthy and ready to go against the Titans, who have allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to receivers this season. Collins is the WR5 in RotoBaller's rankings for Week 4, and he should be set up in a smash spot trying to get his Texans their first win of the season.

The Houston Texans are expecting clarity on running back Joe Mixon (foot/ankle) by mid-October, reports Dianna Russini of the Athletic. The veteran back hasn't seen the field at all in 2025 and remains on the Non-Football Injury list. Houston, meanwhile, signed running back Nick Chubb and drafted Woody Marks to man the backfield for the time being. Whether Mixon returns this year has been an open question for Houston, which is 0-3 and in need of all the offensive help it can get. If he returns, Mixon would be back for fantasy playoffs, but it seems like Houston's backfield will be a platoon even if he's healthy.

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn hasn't been part of the problem in his team's 0-3 start, and he remains a solid starting kicker play in Week 4 in a favorable matchup against the Titans. Fairbairn has made six of his seven field goal attempts and both of his extra point attempts this season. He has three field goals from 50+ yards, but his offense hasn't given him opportunities to score many points. A struggling offense sometimes can help a kicker since they stall out and create more field goal attempts. The Titans have been a top-10 matchup for kickers this season, and kicking at home in Houston should set up well for Fairbairn in Week 4. He is the K7 in RotoBaller's Week 4 rankings, and he is a solid starter in most formats in this favorable spot.
