He's been sacked 140 times over three seasons and will likely face heavy pressure again this year. The 23rd-ranked defense in '04 lost four starters and will have trouble mounting a consistent pass rush (24 sacks in '04). They did add Philip Buchanon to aid an ailing defensive backfield. Running Game Domanick Davis has put together two straight 1,000-yard seasons in spite of the offensive line and has valiantly battled through injuries. The Texans drafted Vernand Morency from Oklahoma State as protection should Davis and the oft-injured Tony Hollings miss any time. Passing Game Again, it all starts with the offensive line. Carr posted a solid 61.2 percent completion rate and tossed for 3,531 yards, but registered only 16 touchdowns against 14 interceptions. There are no established receivers behind Andre Johnson (79 catches, 1,142 yards) and Domanick Davis (68 receptions). Fantasy Power List Domanick Davis (late-first, early-second round): Davis has been impressive in his two years in Houston, reaching the 1,000-yard mark twice and scoring 21 rushing TDs. He's also contributed 115 receptions over two years. In a recent experts draft, Davis was selected fourth overall. Andre Johnson (fourth round): Johnson has established himself as a top-flight receiver in his two NFL seasons. Without a steady No. 2 receiver, he's averaged 72 catches and 1,060 receiving yards. David Carr (tenth round): Carr has been a solid QB when not on his back. If your league takes away points for sacks, then be prepared to lose a handful each week. However, he did open the season by throwing for at least 200 yards in nine of his first 10 outings. In leagues that reward quarterbacks for piling up yardage, he's worth a look-see. Wild Card Jerome Mathis: The speedy receiver and return threat from Hampton has the opportunity to challenge for the No. 2 receiver role opposite Johnson. Jabar Gaffney has been a solid but unspectacular option, and Corey Bradford can't seem to stay on the field. His game-breaking speed (he was a Division I-AA sprinting champion) might help open up the offense and give Carr room to operate.
