Sunday's Week 6 action kicked off in London with a thrilling 34-31 Texans win over the Jaguars. C.J. Stroud was the star, throwing for 306 yards and three touchdowns, including the game-winning drive in his first London performance. Despite an ill-timed interception late, the fourth-year quarterback continued his MVP-level play.
The Texans' defense struggled, allowing 31 points - their third time giving up 30+ this season. Coach De Meco Ryans took over playcalling, but the unit couldn't contain Jacksonville.
For the Jaguars, Travis Hunter emerged offensively with 59 receiving yards and a touchdown after struggling early. Receiver Brian Thomas Jr. was benched after two drops, including one that would have given Jacksonville a chance at a long field goal.
Injury concerns mount for Jacksonville as safety Antonio Johnson left with an ankle injury. They were already without Caleb Ransaw (IR) and had to promote Kaevon Merriweather from the practice squad.
Fantasy takeaway: WR Jaylin Noel emerged as Stroud's deep threat, finishing with 20.7 fantasy points, while Marvin Harrison Jr.'s arrival strengthens Houston's receiving corps.
