MATCHUP SUMMARY

The Indianapolis Colts (1-4) are coming off a disappointing loss in overtime to Baltimore 31-25, a game they led in which they led by 16 points to start the 4th quarter. Carson Wentz had his best game as a Colt, completing 25-35 passes for a career-high 402 yards and two touchdowns. Jonathan Taylor had 169 total yards from scrimmage with two touchdowns. He will have another favorable matchup this week against the Texans who rank near the bottom of the league in rush defense.

Houston rookie QB Davis Mills delivered an impressive performance in a losing effort against New England last week completing 21-29 for for 312 yards and three touchdowns. Mills will look to build off his strong game when the Texans travel to Indianapolis to take on a Colts team that just surrendered 31 points and over 500 yards to Baltimore on Monday night football. The Colts secondary is banged up as well so Mills has a chance to put up another nice stat line this week. WR’s Chris Mills and Chris Conley combined for 193 receiving yards and two touchdowns.

THE DFS GEMS

Jonathan Taylor, IND – $6,600 on DraftKings. Taylor has gained some momentum these last two weeks going for over 110 yards from scrimmage and three touchdowns. I look for him to have another big game here against the Texans rush defense.

Davis Mills, HOU – $5,200 on DraftKings. The Texans are a 10 point underdog and should be playing from behind most of this game. The Colts secondary is banged up and could see Mills putting up a another nice game here if you needed to save salary at QB.

Brandin Cooks. HOU – $5,800 on DraftKings. The speedy WR has cooled off the last two weeks after his hot start but is in a great matchup this week against a depleted Colts secondary. I look for a bounce back game here from Cooks.
