4. Brissett throws for 350, 3 TDs

Jacoby Brissett has been phenomenal for the Indianapolis Colts this season, particularly given the circumstances. Not only has he been banged up this season but let’s not forget him filling in after Andrew Luck‘s sudden retirement. And perhaps his best game of the 2019 season to this point came in Week 7 against the Texans as he went 26-of-39 for 326 yards, four touchdowns and no picks.

Even with Vernon Hargreaves III joining the Texans, Houston’s secondary remains a problem, one that Brissett will exploit again. While he won’t have the four-score outing again, he will toss three touchdowns and post a season-best yardage total of at least 350 yards.

3. Williams stays hot with 100-yard outing

Marlon Mack breaking his hand last week was an unfortunate turn of events for the Colts, especially with his indefinite timetable. While that may be true, Jonathan Williams split time with Mack early and then came up big when the first-stringer went out of the lineup. He finished the day with 13 carries for 116 yards and one catch for 31 yards. And though Jordan Wilkins may return for Week 12, Williams will be the guy who picks up where he left off.

Williams, who has bounced around the league throughout his career, has to be hungry to prove himself and create opportunities moving forward. Though Houston’s run defense has stepped up at times, we saw last week against the Ravens that they can be had. Josh Jacobs also averaged over 4.0 yards per carry a few weeks ago as well.

Behind the Colts elite offensive line, the third-string running back is going to top 100 yards once again and will cross the goal line as well.
