26. Houston Texans (+0)

The Houston Texans were on a bye week this week, so their spot in the power rankings won’t change this week.

Instead, I wanted to highlight just how important this week is for the Texans. Without a 1st round pick this year, the Texans are looking to have their worst finish in the Watson era and they aren’t going to get anything to show for it.

Not only that, but there is a lot of talk right now that they may be shipping off some big-name players and rebuilding this thing from scratch next season. If there isn’t significant development from the young talent on this roster then it is going to be very tough for this team to make the most of Watson’s best seasons.

This trade deadline is huge for them.

25. Washington (+0)

The Washington Football Team were on a bye week this week, so their spot in the power rankings won’t change this week.
