The Houston Texans have declared FS Alan Ball, OG Antoine Caldwell, LB Bradie James, LB Brooks Reed, OL Derek Newton, WR DeVier Posey, CB Johnathan Joseph inactive for Week 13.
| Footballguys view: The Texans should use a lot more of rookie LB Whitney Mercilus with Reed out. Joseph being inactive makes their pass defense very mortal against Jake Locker and his wide array of weapons. |

Cowboys | Owner holding franchise back? Thu Nov 22, 10:27 AM
Houston Texans LB Bradie James, who played previously with the Dallas Cowboys, said the difference between the two franchises is ownership; in particular, owner and general manager Jerry Jones' craving for the spotlight. 'It's the organization as a whole and that starts with (Texans owner) Bob McNair and his approach,' James said. 'He's not on TV every week. I mean, it is what it is. He's around, and it starts with that guy. With the owner, that trickles down to everyone, from the players to the equipment manager. You really gotta see it to believe it.'

Texans | Bradie James to call signals Thu May 31, 01:55 AM
Houston Texans defensive coordinator Wade Phillips indicated Wednesday, May 30, that LB Bradie James will be the team's defensive signal caller. 'He calls all the signals and all the audibles,' Phillips said. 'He already knows them, so that's the good thing.'
| Footballguys view: This is a great sign for James fantasy value this year. He might only be borderline rosterworthy in shallow IDP leagues, but the likelihood that he'll be on the field for all of the base sets and hold the job throughout the year will make him worth carrying in deep leagues. |
