Houston Texans news, rumors and injuriesTexans | DeAndre Hopkins sits out again Tue, 15 Aug 2017 23:35:03 -0700 Houston Texans WR DeAndre Hopkins did not practice Tuesday, Aug. 15, and he has not practiced since Monday, Aug. 7. Head coach Bill O'Brien indicated that Hopkins is "doing fine," and has previously likened Hopkins' practice schedule leading up to the regular season as being on a "pitch count." Fantasy Tip: Fantasy owners shouldn't worry themselves about Hopkins' health. The concerns stem from uncertainty at quarterback, but Hopkins is a proven producer that should offer a statistical floor as a WR2. Comment () | Share: Texans | DeAndrew White goes to IR Tue, 15 Aug 2017 16:31:36 -0700 Houston Texans WR DeAndrew White (groin) reverted to the Reserve/Injured list Tuesday, Aug. 15. Comment () | Share: Texans | DeAndrew White waived/injured Mon, 14 Aug 2017 12:45:53 -0700 Updating a previous report, Houston Texans WR DeAndrew White (groin) was waived/injured Monday, Aug. 14. If he clears waivers he will then revert to the Reserve/Injured list. Comment () | Share: Texans | Braxton Miller has sprained ankle Mon, 14 Aug 2017 12:33:13 -0700 Houston Texans WR Braxton Miller (ankle) is dealing with a mild ankle sprain, but his prognosis is positive. Fantasy Tip: Miller has a good opportunity to earn the Texans' No. 2 wide receiver spot with Will Fuller sidelined. The talent is there, but Miller is still learning after just one season in the NFL. View the sophomore as a late-round flier. Comment () | Share: Texans | DeAndrew White placed on IR Mon, 14 Aug 2017 12:22:07 -0700 Houston Texans WR DeAndrew White (groin) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Monday, Aug. 14. Comment () | Share: Texans | Deshaun Watson works with first-team Mon, 14 Aug 2017 09:27:41 -0700 Houston Texans QB Deshaun Watson took first-team repetitions in practice Monday, Aug. 14, but head coach Bill O'Brien downplayed it saying that's how the repetitions lined up. Fantasy Tip: Watson has a chance to unseat Tom Savage as the starter, but he's more of a dynasty option. Comment () | Share: Texans | Houston adds Germone Hopper Sun, 13 Aug 2017 19:00:42 -0700 The Houston Texans have signed free-agent WR Germone Hopper (49ers) Sunday, Aug. 13, according to his agent. Comment () | Share: Texans | Alfred Blue in better shape Sat, 12 Aug 2017 18:48:21 -0700 Houston Texans RB Alfred Blue said he feels more explosive and can make quicker cuts this season thanks to a workout regimen that included yoga and Pilates. Fantasy Tip: Blue is competing with D'Onta Foreman to be the primary backup to Lamar Miller. The upside is in Foreman's corner, but if Blue wins the No. 2 job, he would be worth a late-round flier in case Miller goes down. Comment () | Share: Texans | DeAndre Hopkins sits out Saturday Sat, 12 Aug 2017 12:05:06 -0700 Houston Texans WR DeAndre Hopkins did not participate in practice Saturday, Aug. 12, because he received the day off. Fantasy Tip: Hopkins has been a productive player for the Texans no matter who the quarterback has been, so owners should expect another good season from him. He has recorded at least 1,000 yards in two of the last three seasons and has 15 touchdowns over the last two seasons. He should be at least a No. 2 receiver in fantasy leagues. Comment () | Share: Texans | Braxton Miller misses practice Fri, 11 Aug 2017 13:51:20 -0700 Houston Texans WR Braxton Miller (undisclosed) did not participate in practice Friday, Aug. 11, because of the injury he suffered during the first preseason game. Miller's injury is not considered to be serious. Fantasy Tip: Miller is expected to have a bigger role in the passing game with Will Fuller sidelined. He only had 99 yards and one touchdown on 15 catches last season but likely will improve on those stats. Miller can be a late-round flier in fantasy drafts this season. Comment () | Share: Texans | Bruce Ellington joins Texans Fri, 11 Aug 2017 13:42:35 -0700 Free-agent WR Bruce Ellington (Jets) signed with the Houston Texans Friday, Aug. 11. Terms of the contract were not disclosed. Comment () | Share: Texans | Work to do for Deshaun Watson Thu, 10 Aug 2017 20:00:15 -0700 Houston Texans QB Deshaun Watson has "a lot to build on," following his first preseason game, according to head coach Bill O'Brien. "There's a lot to correct," O'Brien said. "He knows that. He was about 50-50 right or wrong on some of the schemes we ran." Fantasy Tip: Unless Watson can take the starting gig away from Tom Savage, his value will be relegated to keeper formats for now. He has long-term QB1 potential. Comment () | Share: Texans | Braxton Miller banged up Thu, 10 Aug 2017 13:14:03 -0700 Houston Texans WR Braxton Miller (undisclosed) went to the locker room with an undisclosed injury Wednesday, Aug. 9, against the Carolina Panthers. Head coach Bill O'Brien said Miller will be fine, however. Fantasy Tip: Miller made the most of his limited playing time, catching three passes for 10 yards with the first-team offense. Miller has a real shot to earn the Texans' No. 2 receiver job with Will Fuller out. View him as a late-round flier in standard leagues. Comment () | Share: Texans | Two Texans will return Friday Thu, 10 Aug 2017 13:06:42 -0700 Houston Texans LB Benardrick McKinney (undisclosed) and TE Stephen Anderson (undisclosed) are expected to return to practice Friday, Aug. 11, according to head coach Bill O'Brien. Comment () | Share: Texans | Zach Cunningham impresses in first game Thu, 10 Aug 2017 12:57:20 -0700 Houston Texans rookie LB Zach Cunningham tallied seven tackles in his first NFL action Thursday, Aug. 9, against the Carolina Panthers. Cunningham started with the first-team defense since LB Benardrick McKinney (undisclosed) was out. Comment () | Share:  |
