2024 Fantasy Outlook
The Texans had a couple of productive defense tackles in 2023 but opted to move on from Sheldon Rankins and Maliek Collins. To help shore up the middle, Houston signed Fatukasi, a run stopper who played for Jacksonville last season and spent time with the Jets under current Texans defensive coordinator Matt Burke. Fatukasi doesn't get to the quarterback much and is expected to be part of a three-man rotation. Read Past Outlooks
Cleared to play against Bolts
Fatukasi (ankle) carries no injury designation into Saturday's AFC wild-card game against the Chargers, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Fatukasi missed the final three games of the regular season due to an ankle injury that he suffered against the Dolphins in Week 15. He opened the week with consecutive limited practices but finished strong with a full session Friday. Barring any setbacks, Fatukasi should start alongside Tim Settle at defensive tackle in Saturday's playoff opener.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be seeking around $8 million
Fatuaksi is thought to be looking for around $8 million per season on his next contract, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN.
ANALYSIS
Cimini is unsure if the Jets will be willing to meet that asking price for the 27-year-old defensive lineman. On one hand, Fatukasi didn't register a sack last season, and the Jets already are paying big money to Carl Lawson, Quinnen Williams and John Franklin-Myers on the defensive line. On the other, Fatukasi grades out as one of the league's best run defenders, and a New York defense that ranked among the worst in the league at defending the run last season can ill afford to lose one of its few bright spots in that regard.
