RB Joe Mixon was once again the best player on the field for the Texans, rushing for 106 yards and a touchdown. Mixon had 24 of the team’s 36 carries and is, without a doubt, the team’s offensive MVP this season. The only knock on Mixon is that Houston is not using him as much in the passing game. If he adds this to his arsenal, he could be a top-five overall RB the rest of the way.
Tank Dell, a master against man coverage:
Hehad 6 receptions for 126 yards. He’s going to need to continue to play at this level while the team waits for Nico Collins to return from his injury. However, no other Texans receiver had more than 44 yards. Without Collins on the field, Robert Woods and/or Xavier Hutchinson is going to need to step up.
Aaron Rodgers
He had zero passing touchdowns at halftime but in the second half looked much better, throwing for three touchdown passes, including two to Garrett Wilson and one to Davante Adams. Rodgers still looks out of sorts at times and is searching for more consistency.
Breece Hall
The Jets failed to get the ball in Breece Hall’s hands enough, as Hall only had 15 carries for 74 yards and two receptions for 11 yards. Hall is the type of running back that needs to be getting 20 to 25 touches per game, and the Jets are just not doing that, which is frustrating to Jets fans and his fantasy managers.
Garrett Wilson
Garrett Wilson made one of the most historic catches in NFL history with his one-handed grab in the end zone. Many felt that Wilson would be the WR2 now that Adams is in New York, but Wilson is clearly taking advantage of his role and has been exceptional in playing against weaker cornerbacks.
