Houston Texans news, rumors and injuriesTexans | Chemistry growing for DeAndre Hopkins Thu, 21 Sep 2017 18:55:53 -0700 Houston Texans WR DeAndre Hopkins said the chemistry between he and QB Deshaun Watson is improving every day. "We're growing, we're getting to know each other, and it's getting better, I can say," Hopkins said. Fantasy Tip: In their first full game together, Watson targeted Hopkins 13 times. The big plays haven't been there, but the huge workload should make him a low-end WR2, especially in PPR formats, against the Patriots in Week 3. Comment () | Share: Texans | Houston's practice report for Thursday Thu, 21 Sep 2017 15:43:23 -0700 Houston Texans OG Jeff Allen (ankle) and CB Kevin Johnson (knee) did not participate in practice Thursday, Sept. 21. RB Alfred Blue (ankle), DT Brandon Dunn (knee), WR Will Fuller (shoulder), CB Johnathan Joseph (shoulder), OG Xavier Su'a-Filo (knee) and DE J.J. Watt (finger) were limited participants, while TEs Stephen Anderson (concussion), Ryan Griffin (concussion), CB Marcus Burley (knee), OT Chris Clark (wrist) and WR Bruce Ellington (concussion) did not participate. Comment () | Share: Texans | Bruce Ellington to be cleared Thursday? Wed, 20 Sep 2017 23:47:37 -0700 Houston Texans WR Bruce Ellington (concussion) was a full participant in the team's practice Wednesday, Sept. 20, which means he could be cleared from the concussion protocol on Thursday, Sept. 21. Comment () | Share: Texans | Alfred Blue to be used on special teams Wed, 20 Sep 2017 18:01:53 -0700 Houston Texans RB Alfred Blue (ankle) will primarily be used as a special team player when he returns from his ankle injury. Comment () | Share: Texans | Will Fuller ruled out for Week 3 Wed, 20 Sep 2017 16:28:24 -0700 Houston Texans WR Will Fuller (shoulder) has been ruled out for Week 3 against the New England Patriots. Fantasy Tip: Head coach Bill O'Brien made the announcement Wednesday, despite Fuller's return to the practice field, and added that the second-year receiver "will be available soon." Fuller had some glimpses of brilliance in 2016, and can be a fantasy asset when healthy. Comment () | Share: Texans | Houston's Wednesday practice report Wed, 20 Sep 2017 14:17:10 -0700 Houston Texans OG Jeff Allen (ankle) and CB Kevin Johnson (knee) did not practice Wednesday, Sept. 20. TE Stephen Anderson (concussion), RB Alfred Blue (ankle), WR Will Fuller (shoulder), CB Johnathan Joseph (shoulder), OG Xavier Su'a-Filo (knee) and DE J.J. Watt (finger) were limited. CB Marcus Burley (knee), OT Chris Clark (wrist), WR Bruce Ellington (concussion) and TE Ryan Griffin (concussion) participated fully. Comment () | Share: Wed, 20 Sep 2017 10:53:58 -0700 Houston Texans TE Ryan Griffin (concussion) is no longer in the league's concussion protocol. Fantasy Tip: With C.J. Fedorowicz on the Reserve/Injured list, Griffin will start and should be able to provide the Texans with another much-needed weapon in the passing game, although it is doubtful he will be of much use to fantasy owners against the New England Patriots this week. Consider him a low-end TE2 for now. Comment () | Share: Texans | Deshaun Watson has rough framing for NE matchup Wed, 20 Sep 2017 07:22:15 -0700 Houston Texans QB Deshaun Watson has a tough matchup against the New England Patriots in Week 3 based on historical data. No rookie quarterback has won in New England since head coach Bill Belichick was hired in 2000. They are 0-8 with five touchdowns, 16 interceptions and a 50.7 passer rating. Fantasy Tip: Watson is only an option in dynasty leagues or in leagues where you must start two quarterbacks. However, this week isn't a strong matchup. Comment () | Share: Texans | Johnthan Banks expected to sign Tue, 19 Sep 2017 23:46:08 -0700 The Houston Texans are expected to sign free-agent CB Johnthan Banks (Bears) after working him out Tuesday, Sept. 19. Comment () | Share: Texans | DeAndre Hopkins leading NFL in targets Tue, 19 Sep 2017 19:31:07 -0700 Houston Texans WR DeAndre Hopkins has 29 targets through Week 2, making him easily the most targeted receiver in the league through two games. Fantasy Tip: To give you some sense of how much the Texans are relying on him, 24 of rookie quarterback Deshaun Watson's 47 pass attempts in six quarters of action have been thrown in direction of Hopkins. The fifth-year wideout has responded with seven receptions in each of his first two games but is averaging only 9.1 yards per catch. Life won't get any easier in Week 3 when the New England Patriots will almost certainly force Watson to rely on his other receivers. Nevertheless, Hopkins is a solid WR2 in fantasy. Comment () | Share: Tue, 19 Sep 2017 15:52:58 -0700 Houston Texans TE Evan Baylis was released Tuesday, Sept. 19. Comment () | Share: Texans | Riley McCarron waived Tue, 19 Sep 2017 04:38:17 -0700 The Houston Texans waived WR Riley McCarron from the practice squad on Monday, Sept. 18. Comment () | Share: Texans | Will Fuller on the practice field Mon, 18 Sep 2017 15:16:00 -0700 Houston Texans WR Will Fuller (shoulder) participated in practice Monday, Sept. 18. His status for Week 3 is uncertain at this point. Fantasy Tip: Fuller has been sidelined since early in training camp because of his broken collarbone, so he probably will need a week or two before he is able to play in a game. He may be eased into the offense when he does start playing but could be a factor during the second half of the season. Owners desperate for help at receiver may consider adding Fuller if he is available on the waiver wire. Comment () | Share: Texans | Andy Jones back with Houston Mon, 18 Sep 2017 15:07:29 -0700 Free-agent WR Andy Jones (Texans) re-signed with the Houston Texans Monday, Sept. 18. Terms of the contract were not disclosed. Comment () | Share: Texans | Two Texans TEs may return soon Mon, 18 Sep 2017 15:07:01 -0700 Houston Texans TEs Stephen Anderson (concussion) and TE Ryan Griffin (concussion) hopefully will be able to return to practice this week, according to head coach Bill O'Brien.
