Postgame Notes ' Texans vs. Patriots, Week 5 Notes and stats from the Houston Texans Week 5 game against the New England Patriots.
Brandin Cooks - Limited role in loss Cooks caught three of five targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 25-22 loss to New England.
Impact Cooks experienced season lows in targets, catches and yards Sunday as the Texans deployed a more balanced passing attack, though he remains the clear top dog after five weeks. Cooks' 44 targets leads the team, 28 more than the second most-targeted player, running back David Johnson.
OCTOBER 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
David Johnson - Leads backs in snaps Johnson gained five yards on two carries and caught five of six targets for 46 yards in Sunday's 25-22 loss to New England.
Impact Johnson's 51 combined yards were a season high for the running back, who's carved out a legitimate role on passing downs, and he led Houston running backs Sunday with 31 snaps. Due to the team's poor record, it's needed a receiving threat in the backfield more often than not, so Johnson leads the position group in snaps and is second overall on the team with 16 targets, behind only Brandin Cooks (44).
OCTOBER 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Phillip Lindsay - Limited run in loss Lindsay gained 19 yards on five carries and was not targeted in Sunday's 25-22 loss to the Patriots.
Impact The Texans' ground game was once again bottled up, and Lindsay once again played a secondary role to Mark Ingram. Lindsay has 30 total touches through five games, which is not enough to warrant a spot on many fantasy rosters.

Mark Ingram II - Delivers empty volume Ingram recorded 16 rushes for 41 yards in Sunday's loss to the Patriots.
Impact Ingram accounted for 16 of the team's 24 rushing attempts and remains the clear leader of the backfield. However, that failed to translate to fantasy production, as his longest rush of the day went for eight yards and he averaged only 2.6 yards per carry. For the season, Ingram has failed to top 41 yards on the ground in each of his last four contests heading into a Week 6 matchup against the Colts.
OCTOBER 10, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Chris Moore - Tops 100 yards Moore recorded five receptions on five targets for 109 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss against the Patriots.
Impact Moore was elevated from the practice squad Saturday as depth to cover for the absence of Danny Amendola (thigh). He made the most of that chance by delivering an impressive leaping catch over J.C. Jackson to deliver a 67-yard touchdown reception. While that was the highlight his performance, Moore also managed gains of 27 and 13 yards. Moore has now been elevated from the practice squad on two occasions, so he may receive a contract to join the active roster ahead of the team's Week 6 matchup against the Colts.

Chris Conley - Serves as big-play threat Conley recorded three receptions on four targets for 84 yards and a touchdown in Week 5 against the Patriots.
Impact Conley benefitted from the absence of Danny Amendola (thigh) and delivered season-best marks across the box score. The majority of that production came on deep receptions, as Conley delivered gains of 40 and 37 yards -- the latter of which went for a touchdown. Given both his previous lack of involvement and the generally poor state of the Texans' offense, Conley will likely find it difficult to replicate this performance moving forward.

Despite loss, QB Davis Mills shows marked improvement Texans QB Davis Mills completed 72.4% passes for 312 yards and 3 TD in a turnover-free effort against New England.
OCTOBER 10, 2021 • HOUSTONTEXANS.COM
Davis Mills - Shows promise in loss Mills completed 21 of 29 passes for 312 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 5 against the Patriots.
Impact Mills combined to throw for 357 yards, two touchdowns and five interceptions across his first three professional starts. However, he delivered an impressive performance against the Patriots by both taking care of the ball and taking shots deep down the field. He connected with Chris Moore and Chris Conley to combine for four completions of 20 yards or more and also delivered his first multiple touchdown performance, tossing scores from 67, 37 and 11 yards. This lone performance may not change Mills' long-term outlook, though it does give the Texans' offense some life heading into a Week 6 matchup against the Colts.
