Hutchinson caught one of four targets for 13 yards in Monday's 27-19 loss to the Seahawks in Week 7.

Due to Nico Collins (concussion) leaving the game early, Hutchinson topped Houston wideouts with 59 snaps. However, as has happened all too often this year, Hutchinson's snap count didn't translate to meaningful fantasy production. He's second behind Collins in playing 67.3 percent of the offensive snaps, but he has a meager 13-123-2 line on 18 targets through six games.

Fairbairn successfully converted both of his field-goal attempts and one extra-point kick in Monday's 27-19 loss to the Seahawks in Week 7.

Fairbairn drilled field goals from 36 and 46 yards in the first half, but the Texans were not in position to attempt field goals in the second half. Houston's offense, which appeared to have come around the last two games, regressed following a bye week and failed to take advantage on three of Seattle's four turnovers. Fairbairn has made 13-of-15 FGA and all 10 XPA through six games, but other than Week 5's blowout win over the Ravens and a big fourth quarter against Tennessee in Week 4, the offense has let him down.

Noel hauled in four of seven targets for 77 yards in Monday's 27-19 loss to the Seahawks.

Fresh off his first career touchdown reception in Week 6, Noel followed that up with a season-high 77 receiving yards on Monday Night Football. The absence of Christian Kirk (hamstring) helped elevate the rookie's role, and it is currently unclear how much time the veteran slot receiver will miss. No. 1 wideout Nico Collins (concussion) also left Monday's loss late in the fourth quarter, so the Texans may ask Noel to continue serving an elevated role if either starter is forced to miss Sunday's contest against the 49ers.

Kupp caught his only target for 32 yards and threw an interception on a failed trick play in Monday's 27-19 win over the Texans.

The Seahawks tried to get cute in the second quarter with a wide receiver pass play that resulted in an interception for Kupp. Depending on league settings, the veteran wideout's rare turnover may have erased more than half of his fantasy production Monday. Only getting one target is the more concerning takeaway after Kupp scored his first touchdown as a member of the Seahawks in Week 6. The 32-year-old will carry a 24-293-1 receiving line into Seattle's upcoming bye week before resuming play against the Commanders on Nov. 2.

Marks rushed 10 times for 15 yards and caught three of five targets for 20 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 27-19 loss to Seattle.

Marks received double-digit carries for the second time this year, but he barely averaged more than one yard per tote. The fourth-round rookie did almost all of his damage as a receiver, catching his second touchdown of the season to cut Seattle's lead to one score in the fourth quarter. Marks did come up hobbling following his late touchdown grab, so make sure he doesn't pop up on the injury report leading into Sunday's tilt against San Francisco.

Chubb rushed five times for 16 yards and caught one of three targets for a loss of five yards in Monday's 27-19 loss to Seattle.

Head coach DeMeco Ryans proclaimed that he wanted to establish the run against the Seahawks, but he proceeded to give his veteran starter five carries in a game that was never quite out of reach. Chubb didn't do himself any favors, averaging a season-worst 3.2 yards per carry in the loss. Rookie Woody Marks (10-15-0) didn't fare much better on the ground, but he did catch C.J. Stroud's lone touchdown pass of the evening. Chubb had been providing a high floor for those in deeper formats prior to Sunday's dud, so it could be worth giving him another shot against San Francisco's injury-riddled defense Sunday.

Schultz had nine receptions on 10 targets for 98 yards in Monday's 27-19 loss to Seattle.

Schultz saved his best for the bright lights of Monday Night Football, coming out of the loss with new season highs in targets, receptions and yardage. The veteran tight end also finished as the Texans' leading receiver after Nico Collins (concussion) was forced out of the contest early in the fourth quarter. Schultz had been a high-floor option in deeper formats prior to Monday's outburst, but his target share could be elevated in Week 8 if Collins is unable to suit up against the 49ers on Sunday.

Charbonnet took 12 carries for 49 yards and two touchdowns while catching both of his targets for six yards in Monday's 27-19 win over Houston.

Charbonnet was the money-maker out of Seattle's talented backfield duo Monday, cashing in both of his team's rushing touchdowns on the evening. Kenneth Walker (17-66-0) received five more carries and was the game's leading rusher, but it is obvious which stat line fantasy GMs would have preferred in Week 7. Charbonnet has five touchdowns in six games, but his usage in short yardage and at the goal line has contributed to a career-worst 2.8 YPC. The skilled backup should continue generating flex value when the Seahawks come out of a Week 8 bye to face the Commanders on Nov. 2.

Walker took 17 carries for 66 yards and was not targeted as a receiver in Monday's 27-19 win over Houston.

Walked finished as the Seahawks' leading rusher with a team-high number of rushes on Monday Night Football. However, fellow RB Zach Charbonnet cashed in on a pair of goal-line carries en route to a 12-49-2 rushing line. Walker still is providing more volume out of Seattle's backfield through seven weeks, generating 430 rushing yards off of a career-best 4.7 YPC with three trips to the end zone himself. Both talented rushers will be worth starting in fantasy when the Seahawks return from the upcoming bye week to face the Commanders on Sunday, Nov. 2.

Stroud completed 23 of 49 pass attempts for 229 yards, one touchdown and one interception while taking two carries for 25 yards in Monday's 27-19 loss to Seattle.

Fresh off of a season-high four-touchdown performance against the Ravens, Stroud reverted to inconsistent pocket play in a deflating loss to the Seahawks. The 23-year-old failed to complete 50 percent of his passes while finishing as many touchdown drives as the dominant defense playing behind him. Stroud didn't get much help from his ground game, actually ending Monday's loss as the Texans' leading rusher ahead of Woody Marks (10-15-0) and Nick Chubb (5-16-0). Stroud also lost top wideout Nico Collins early in the fourth quarter to a concussion, a situation worth monitoring ahead of next Sunday's tilt against the 49ers. Stroud's stock would suffer further Week 8 if Collins is unable to clear the league's protocol for head injuries.
