For once, the Jacksonville Jaguars may have a better situation at quarterback than their opponent.

T.J. Yeldon has shown potential, especially on the touchdown catch last game when he stopped in the end zone to get open.
According to oddsmakers at BetDSI, the Jaguars are the slim favorite at home, as they are getting odds of -1 points against the Texans. Robinson has 22 catches for 402 yards and four scores.
Of course the Jaguars will need to establish the run, but their current strength is Bortles and the pass. Wide receivers Allen Robinson and Allen Hurns are playing incredibly well.
Both the Texans and Jaguars enter this contest at 1-4 on the season. “So I think our guys did a good evaluation of him for that play that he was out and he was able to go back into the game”.
Bortles, though, comes into this one looking to continue to establish a growing connection with two of his fellow second-year teammates. The Texans also have trailed at halftime in every game this season. Hopkins was the 27th overall pick in the 2013 draft.
Hurns, meanwhile, had to earn a roster spot long before he landed a starting role.
“That’s where I started my career and spent four years of my life”, he said in a phone interview after practice Thursday.
There have been numerous positives and chances for the Jaguars, but now it’s time to fully take advantage of them.

The problems with the Texans defense was pointed to missed assignments by defensive players, leading to multiple mistakes in their games.
He posted 176 receptions for 2,343 yards and 12 touchdowns in Jacksonville, but couldn’t stay healthy and wasn’t part of the franchise’s rebuilding plan. J.J. Watt is a terror along the Texans defensive line but Houston will be without Jadeveon Clowney. That means he’ll be going against rookie right guard A.J. Cann and right tackle Jermey Parnell, who is nursing a sore knee.
If Yeldon can’t go or will be limited on Sunday, the Jaguars can breathe a sigh of relief that running back Denard Robinson is practicing in full and will likely be available this Sunday.
John: No, the Jaguars shouldn’t place Lee on injured reserve – and the whole thing of losing LaRoy Reynolds because of Lee is a bit overblown. Two days later, he changed his mind.
“All three I thought performed pretty well today”, Bradley said. “Just a good teammate, great guy to have on the team, can do a lot of different things on offense, special teams, so it’ll help us to get him back”.
LOPSIDED SERIES: The Texans have won seven of the last nine in the series, including three of the last four in Jacksonville.
