On the other side of the ball, Alex Smith gives the Chiefs the advantage at quarterback over Houston's Brian Hoyer and Smith's mobility could help frustrate JJ Watt and company enough to see the KC through.
McCarron has performed admirably in Dalton's absence, helping the team to a 2-1 record since that loss to the Steelers, but the return of the Red Rifle would be a huge boost to an offence that knows it will need to put points on the board.
