The call

Houston grades 7 of 32 in the DvP composite (32 = softest), one of the harder draws on the board — though the 0-game sample carries 0.00 confidence, so it shouldn't be the whole case.
Role is secure: 85% snap share over 17 games means he's on the field for everything, but a 16% target share is thin for a WR who needs volume to clear his 11.6 projection.
A 1.5-point spread and 23.5 implied total point to a competitive script with neither shootout upside nor garbage-time volume baked in.
Tips to start if he's your WR3/flex in a 12-team PPR and the alternative is a bench-level committee piece; tips to sit if you have a WR with a defined red-zone or slot-volume edge this week.
