Our best Buccaneers vs Texans SGP for Week 2

Key offensive linemen are missing from both sides, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Houston Texans struggled to get going on the ground in Week 1, meaning we could see a pass-heavy script at NRG Stadium — and the indoor setting only boosts efficiency and volume through the air.

Nico Collins is the clear WR1 and draws a Tampa Bay defense that let Drake London finish as the second-most targeted WR in Week 1. On the other side, Mike Evans led the Bucs in both air yards and targets, while rookie Emeka Egbuka turned four catches (two touchdowns) into 67 yards. Both will be heavily involved, with Chris Godwin expected to be out again.

Dalton Schultz is set up to be Houston's No. 2 option in the passing game. With Christian Kirk out and the Texans now relying on RB2 Nick Chubb, this WR group is among the thinnest in the NFL. Schultz should see consistent usage in a game script that favors passing.
