2024 Fantasy Outlook
The Texans lost 11 sacks when they traded Maliek Collins to San Francisco and let Sheldon Rankins depart for Cincinnati. To help make up for the loss of QB pressure, Houston signed Autry, a productive defensive end coming off a career-high 11.5 sacks for the Titans in 2023. The 34-year-old may not play exclusively at end, as Houston can roll with Will Anderson and Danielle Hunter on the edge. Autry may have to apply pressure on quarterbacks from the interior - where the Collins/Rankins duo played - but defensive tackle isn't typically a spot for 6-5 defensive linemen. Read Past Outlooks
Will suit up in wild-card round
Autry (knee) is active for Saturday's wild-card matchup against the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
Autry missed Houston's regular-season finale due to a knee injury and began this week by sitting out practice. However, he upgraded to a limited session Wednesday before logging a full practice Friday and is good to go for the wild-card game against Los Angeles. When healthy this season, Autry has mostly served in a rotational role, coming off the bench in eight of his 10 contests.

Autry has been an established pass-rushing force for several seasons, and the 2022 campaign was no exception. He led the Titans with eight sacks and eight tackles for loss, and he finished 10th in the league with 27 quarterback pressures. Entering his age-32 season, there could be some concern that he's entering the downswing of his career, though he's shown no signs of his production slowing. Autry should form a potent 1-2 punch with Jeffery Simmons to make opposing quarterback's lives difficult in 2023.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Looking to return to Tennessee
Autry is a free agent this offseason after recording a career-high 11.5 sacks in 2023, but he's hoping to re-sign with the Titans, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 33-year-old defensive end has three other seasons on his resume with at least eight sacks. Autry could get a big contract despite his age given the league-wide need for pass-rush help, but he'd prefer to remain in Tennessee. "It's a good fit for me," he said in December. "I like it here." Autry previously signed a three-year, $21.5 million deal with the Titans in March of 2021.
