Gambling911.com has your Texans-Dolphins Daily Fantasy NFL picks for Week 7. The Dolphins come into this one as a -5 favorite.  65% of those betting this game were backing Miami.  The total on this game is 44.5.

Worriesome here is that the Dolphins are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games after scoring more than 30 points in their previous game.

What to Consider With the Texans: Houston has not had much luck against opposing quarterbacks.  They also ranked 31st against running backs heading into Week 6.  Furthermore they are weak against opposing receivers. 

What to Consider With the Dolphins:  The Dolphins ranked 31st against the pass coming into Week 6 but did look like a whole different team against Tennessee.   Miami is also weak against opposing running backs.

Who to Play:

Ryan Tannehill ($5.7K) - Ryan Tannehill completed 22-of-29 passes for 266 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions in the Dolphins' Week 6 win over the Titans.  This was good enough to tally over 25 fantasy points.  Tennessee is the sixth-best pass defense in the league and the Texans come nowhere near to that type of strength. 

Arian Foster ($7.5K) – He has had 17 catches for 161 yards in the passing game and should be solid this week against a Dolphins team that is vulnerable defending top running backs. 

Jarvis Landry ($6.2K) – He is a more affordable option to Foster, though hardly in his league.  Still, he’ll be up against a Houston team that has troubles defending running backs just like Miami. 

Landry made 3-of-4 targets for 42 yards and scored a 22-yard touchdown on an end-around in the Dolphins' Week 6 win over the Titans.
