AFC South
The Texans play the Cardinals in Arizona later today, and the coaches and fans will be looking for some answers to some obvious questions concerning this team:
The Offensive Line: Salaam and Winston are the starting OT's. Can these two solidify an OL that has been in disarray for years? Salaam played very well last year after injury knocked out the LT for the season. Winston is a 2nd year player at RT, the jury is out on him. If these two guys can play even adequately or better than the running game and QB Schaub will have better chance than David Carr ever did.
The Safeties: both Horton and Earl were injured and lost for the season last week. CC Brown returns as a starter; now the Texans need to find another starter. Is Jason Simmons the answer or not?
The WR opposite Andre Johnson: In the offseason the Texans signed Kevin Walter from the Bengals, drafted Jacoby Jones, and signed FA Keenan McCardell. Now there is talk they may sign ex-Packer Robert Ferguson. Jerome Mathis is in the mix too. One or more of these guys need to step up and become a force to take the pressure off A Johnson.
From an EFS point of view, keep your eye on who wins the Safety positions because they could be picked on a lot. Also, the WR position could be productive since Andre Johnson will draw double teams, leaving whomever that WR2 is open all day. I wouldn't worry about the Texans OL....
