Quarterbacks
For the third straight week, it was Clayton Thorson’s team in Houston. His back up, Kenji Bahar, had to miss the game with a hand injury. Despite losing the game, Thorson played well enough to have his team in position to win late in the game. Overall, he completed 15 of his 24 pass attempts for 240 yards. He threw two touchdown passes and one interception as well.

On the season, Thorson ranks fifth in the league in both passing yards and passing yards per game. He is third in the league in terms of passing touchdowns. He will continue to lead this team and should improve week to week as the season progresses.
Running Back
After three week, not only has Mark Thompson cemented himself as the best running back on this Houston Gamblers Depth Chart, but also as the best back in the league. Thompson carried the ball 24 times for 124 and a touchdown. There is a dedication to the run in Houston, and Thompson looks to play a huge role in that going forward which solidifies his place on this Houston Gamblers Depth Chart.

Because of his teammates’ effectiveness, Dayln Dawkins did not see much action. He registered only five carries in the game for 10 yards. Dawkins also caught a pass for 8 yards. He has been relegated to giving Thompson a snap or two off now and should only be on your fantasy roster as an insurance for the Gamblers’ lead back in case of injury.
Wide Receiver
Big plays were the name of the game for the Houston wide receivers. One of them was a 57 yard pass to Anthony Ratliff-Williams that saw him fumble the ball only to recover it himself in stride to run it in for a touchdown. It was one of two catches he had on the day for 85 total yards. Isaiah Zuber had a pair of timely catches in the final seconds of the first half, one of which was a 16 yard touchdown to give Houston the lead.
JUST how we drew it up…trust us. 😏

While each of those two made splashy plays, the bulk of the targets on the day went Tyler Simmon’s way. He was targeted six times, catching four of them for 24 yards. Also contributing a catch was Teo Redding who caught one of his two targets for 10 yards. Week 1 leading receiver JoJo Ward missed this game due to injury.
Tight End
It is clear that the tight ends on this Houston Gamblers Depth Chart are there to block for Mark Thompson. Despite their ability to catch passes, both Brandon Barnes and Julian Allen each received only one target apiece. They both caught that target, but combined for 23 total yards between the two.
Defense
The Houston defense continues to be a bright spot on this team in spite of giving up the game winning drive last week. They pressured Jordan Ta’amu all day, sacking him three times. On top of that, they registered five tackles for a loss, forced a fumble and Alijah Holder picked off Ta’amu once.
THAT'S OUR BALL.
