3 overall pick newbie QB Drake Maye, who the Patriots made after the Macintosh Jones experiment neglected. Maye was a super star at North Carolina, yet he is actually playing behind a terrible offensive series against a staff who leads the league in pressures.Also, Rhamondre Stevenson, the Patriots operating back/only eruptive annoying weapon is out along with a personal injury. Antonio Gibson are going to obtain a lots of lugs and most likely intendeds out of the backfield.Ja' Lynn Polk, a rookie out of Washington has actually shown flashes of coming to be an excellent NFL recipient, yet without excellent QB play it's been actually complicated for him to break out.Jacoby Brissett has been a sound professional bridge, now it's the Drake Maye show.WHAT DO THE TEXANS DO WITHOUT NICO?The NFL's leading recipient corrects here in Houston. Sadly, that recipient, Nico Collins took his hamstring capturing a 67 garden touchdown pass. Collins performs the IR, he's out 4 full weeks, as well as the Texans will have to rely on their intensity. That depth features a previous All-Pro in Stefon Diggs, and also some of last year's outbreak novices Tank Dell. Xavier Hutchinson will be phoned call to participate in a lots of snaps in Collins' absence, and also tight end Dalton Schultz as well as running back Joe Mixon must receive peppered along with targets.That's right, Mixon is actually probably back in the mix Sunday after getting in pair of minimal methods during the week. He is actually noted as dubious, but game resources have said to KPRC 2 Texans Expert Aaron Wilson that Mixon is actually probably to play Sunday. With Mixon, the Texans can play the free football they desire to participate in, blending pass, operate and also play action.Nico's certainly not the only high-profile gamer overlooking this video game - beginning cornerback Kamari Lassiter is out, as is actually starting security Jimmie Ward. Barring an amazingly astonishingly efficiency from the rookie QB in his very first beginning, this is an ideal full week for the Texans to become banged up in the secondary given the clumsiness of the Patriots offense.They've racked up 16, twenty, 3, thirteen and also 10 aspects in their 5 games this year. They are actually bad on offense.What you require to recognize: Texans' Joe Mixon practices again, counted on to play Sunday, Kamari Lassiter, Jimmie Ward out this weekWHAT'S NEXTA cold and also possibly stormy Foxborough will throw the Texans Sunday at twelve noon. If Houston can win and also get to 5-1, it will be the 2nd time in franchise business record they've had such a solid begin (2012 ).
