Quick answer
Houston scored 81.8 IDP (solo 1.5 / sack 4) points in 2025 (DL46). The last two seasons moved from DL175 to DL46 — that's the dynasty signal. Played a shortened 2024 (5 games) — health is the nearer question than talent. Don't buy a bounce from the 2026 Engine line alone; it's a low-volume outlook.
