Houston Texans news, rumors and injuriesTexans | DeAndre Hopkins expected to report on time Sun, 23 Jul 2017 13:22:50 -0700 Houston Texans WR DeAndre Hopkins has not made a lot of progress in contract extension talks with the Texans but is expected to report to training camp on time. Both sides are motivated to reach an agreement on a long-term deal. Fantasy Tip: Hopkins will continue to be the focal point in the passing game in 2017 and will look to improve on his stats from last season. He will be working with an inexperience quarterback this season but should still be able to be one of the better receivers in the NFL. He probably should be considered a No. 1 or No. 2 receiver in all fantasy leagues.

Comment () | Share: Texans | Duane Brown could hold out Sun, 23 Jul 2017 07:25:46 -0700 Houston Texans OT Duane Brown appears unlikely to report to training camp on time because of unhappiness about his contract situation, in the opinion of the Houston Chronicle's Aaron Wilson. Brown's current deal has two years remaining, including a non-guaranteed base salary of $9.65 million this year. He could be fined $40,000 for each day of camp missed.

Comment () | Share: Texans | Andre Hal wants to improve Thu, 20 Jul 2017 11:44:43 -0700 Houston Texans FS Andre Hal admitted that he was overthinking last season in addition to not playing with confidence or using his instincts. "I learned a lot. I wasn't playing how I was supposed to play," Hal said. "I came back up. I got through that. It's adversity. The only way you get better is you got to get through something." Comment () | Share: Texans | D'Onta Foreman arrested Sun, 16 Jul 2017 13:06:46 -0700 Houston Texans RB D'Onta Foreman was arrested Sunday, July 16, and has been charged with misdemeanor marijuana possession and unlawful carrying of a weapon. Comment () | Share: Texans | Deshaun Watson will be ready when needed Wed, 12 Jul 2017 12:15:14 -0700 Houston Texans QB Deshaun Watson said he will be ready to play whenever head coach Bill O'Brien believes he is ready to start. QB Tom Savage is expected to be the starting quarterback when the regular season begins. Fantasy Tip: Watson probably will serve as the No. 2 quarterback this season but could see some playing time as a rookie. Owners in most standard leagues should avoid Watson, but he will have some value in keeper leagues. Comment () | Share: Texans | Julie'n Davenport already impressing Tue, 11 Jul 2017 13:14:06 -0700 Houston Texans rookie OT Julie'n Davenport has impressed head coach Bill O'Brien in his first offseason. O'Brien admitted that Davenport will really be tested once training camp starts, but said he has shown good smarts, a good work ethic and a good skillset so far. Davenport will compete for playing time behind OT Chris Clark. Comment () | Share: Texans | DeAndre Hopkins hoping to stay Fri, 07 Jul 2017 19:55:37 -0700 Houston Texans WR DeAndre Hopkins said he feels the city has embraced him and Houston feels like his hometown. "I love being here," Hopkins said. "I love playing for this team, great organization." Fantasy Tip: Hopkins suffered from poor quarterback play last season, but he is just two years removed from a 111-catch, 1,521-yard campaign. Don't be surprised if he recaptures his WR1 form this season. Comment () | Share: Texans | Houston expects improvement from D.J. Reader Wed, 05 Jul 2017 11:29:29 -0700 Houston Texans DT D.J. Reader is a player the Texans have high expectations for in 2017, according to defensive line coach Anthony Weaver. "We have very high expectations of D.J.," Weaver said. " I think you saw just a glimpse of what he's capable of a year ago. He's another guy that since he's been back, you can tell he's, and I think I speak for the whole defense, they all have a little bit of a chip (on their shoulders)." Comment () | Share: Texans | Tom Savage in line to start? Sat, 01 Jul 2017 18:41:48 -0700 Houston Texans QB Tom Savage is ahead of QB Deshaun Watson in "how he functions with the offense" heading into training camp, according to head coach Bill O'Brien. Fantasy Tip: Savage's experience could make him the starter in Week 1, but he really isn't worth your time in fantasy formats. On the other hand, Watson should be stashed in all keeper formats. He has long-term QB1 potential. Comment () | Share: Texans | Brennan Scarlett in line to start Sat, 01 Jul 2017 15:04:23 -0700 Houston Texans LB Brennan Scarlett is the leading candidate to replace John Simon opposite Whitney Mercilus at outside linebacker this season, according the Houston Chronicle's John McClain. Comment () | Share: Texans | Will Fuller to focus on receiving duties Sat, 01 Jul 2017 07:34:13 -0700 Houston Texans coaches want WR Will Fuller to concentrate on improving as a receiver rather than worrying about special teams, although he is considered the club's best punt returner. Fantasy Tip: The 23-year-old Fuller had 47 receptions for 635 yards and two touchdowns during his rookie campaign and also averaged 15 yards on 11 punt return attempts, including another touchdown. He's worthy of consideration as a high-risk, high-reward WR4 in most fantasy formats. Comment () | Share:  |
