In what is expected to be one of the highest-scoring games on the slate, the Raiders will play the Texans at NRG Stadium. The Raiders are underdogs are the sixth team this season and sport a 3-3 record when they are. This is arguably one of the best matchups for Derek Carr against a Texans defense that’s allowing an average of 294 passing yards while opposing quarterbacks haven’t thrown less than 33 pass attempts in a game. Carr should benefit from getting Tyrell Williams back into the mix, who has only played four games this season but is averaging six targets and 54 yards per game when active. Darren Waller continues to be the number one option in this offense, averaging 8.3 targets, 80 yards and two touchdowns, both of which came last week. These guys should be very busy against the Texans.

The Texans are favored in this game, a spot where they have a 2-1 record in on the season. They’ll be without their WR2 in Will Fuller, who is sidelined for several weeks with a hamstring injury. While he’s the big-play threat in this offense, it gives other opportunities for some of the other receivers. Fuller has been off the field for 80 snaps this season and when that happens, DeAndre Hopkins sees a 30.8% target share followed by Keke Coutee at 20.5% and Kenny Stills at 10.3%.They should be able to feast on a Raiders’ secondary that’s allowed an average of 187 yards per game, 10 touchdowns and a 64.5% catch rate. Their run defense has been one of the only bright spots for the Raiders defensively, which could end up being a trouble spot late in the game if the Texans are looking to run the clock out with a lead.
