QUARTERBACKS


PlayerAtt.Comp.YardsTDINTRushYardsTDPoints
Sam Darnold503.9319.23653.322.4214.6146.7128.41.87230.65
Joe Douglas made it a priority to improve one of the league's worst offensive lines this offseason, so Darnold should be better-protected in his age-23 season. The team let Robby Anderson walk in free agency, but they get back Chris Herndon, who played only one game, and drafted Denzel Mims, a height-weight-speed (6'3"-207-4.38) prospect.
Joe Flacco32.320.5224.51.110.652.96.40.0613.12
James Morgan2.71.619.20.090.0912.10.011.22

RUNNING BACKS


PlayerAtt.YardsTDRec.YardsTDPoints
Le'Veon Bell204.4848.34.0954.94201.1157.97
Running behind one of the league's worst offensive lines in 2019, Bell rushed for 52.6 yards per game and averaged 3.2 yards per carry, both of which were career lows. Bell's 311 touches were eighth-most last season, but Bell ranked 35th (4.02) in yards per touch among the 38 running backs that amassed 140-plus touches last season. Improved efficiency should be expected from Bell as the Jets improved their offensive line, but the addition of the ageless Frank Gore casts serious doubt on Bell's ability to come close to last year's volume.
Frank Gore85.7329.91.2912.491.80.2551.41
Reunited with Adam Gase, Gore had 168 touches when the two were in Miami in 2018 and Gore has never averaged fewer than 10 touches per game in his career. While you may never feel comfortable having to start Gore in any given week, he's very likely to outperform his draft slot (Frank Gore Fantasy ADP). Of course, his biggest fantasy significance will likely be the frustration he causes Bell owners. The Athletic's Connor Hughes summed it up when he recently wrote: "Bell is a better player than Gore. But Gore looks like a better player for the Jets right now."

WIDE RECEIVERS


PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDPoints
Jamison Crowder808645.21.980.02118.52
Crowder led the Jets in targets (122), receptions (78), yards (833) and touchdowns (six) last season. With Robby Anderson and Demaryius Thomas no longer on the roster, Crowder could be even better in 2020 if Sam Darnold can stay healthy. The slot receiver's ADP has been steadily rising in August.
Breshad Perriman49.87574.611.97.20.02104.2
While the former first-round pick hasn't lived up to his draft pedigree, Perriman was a productive fantasy asset down the stretch last season. In the month of December, Perriman had 25/506/5 (20.24 Y/R) and closed the season with three consecutive 100-yard games. A potential late-round gem in 2020, Perriman offers plenty of upside if he can build upon that breakout with his new club.
Denzel Mims28.4376.32.1315.50.0151.02

TIGHT ENDS


PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDPoints
Chris Herndon49.1611.34.9100090.59
Due to injury and suspension, 2019 was a lost season for Herndon. As a rookie in 2018, however, he emerged to become a factor -- sixth-most fantasy points from Weeks 6 to 16. An intriguing upside play for those that punt or stream the position, Herndon has had a "stellar camp, picking up right where he left off after a promising rookie season," per The Athletic's Connor Hughes.
Ryan Griffin30.3310.63.0300049.24
Griffin scored a career-high five touchdowns last season and finished with his second-most receptions (34) and yards (320). Barring an injury to Herndon, however, Griffin is off the fantasy radar this season.

2018 Fantasy Football Projections: Houston Texans

In addition to viewing our 2018 Fantasy Football Projections by position, we will post our preseason projections per team.

Below you will find our 2018 fantasy football projections for the Houston Texans.

Quarterbacks

 

PlayerAtt.Comp.YardsTDINTRushYardsTDFLPoints
Deshaun Watson473.2295.3376229.314.771.9445.83.53.5296.86
Offensive line woes and lack of experience did not slow Watson down as a rookie. Unfortunately, an ACL tear did. Before the injury, however, Watson finished with the most or second-most fantasy points in each of his final four games and eclipsed the 30-point mark in three of those four outings. Expectations are high entering season two, but he has legitimate QB1 upside for 2018 if he can stay healthy for a full season.

Running Backs

 

PlayerAtt.YardsTDRec.YardsTDFLPoints
Lamar Miller197.2818.45.334.6294.12.80.5158.85
Miller has two 1,000-yard seasons since 2014, but he was even less efficient in 2017 (career-low 3.7 YPC) than he was in 2016 (4.0). The Texans have one of the league's worst offensive lines (actually the worst if you go by PFF rankings) and the line won't be markedly better in 2018. On a positive note, Miller has shed a few pounds and entered training camp at his lowest weight since signing with Houston.
D'Onta Foreman120.6506.54.79.878.40.31.286.09
Foreman's rookie season was cut short due to an Achilles injury and he's starting training camp on the active/PUP list. Perhaps he'll avoid the reserve/PUP list, which would require him to miss a mininum of six games, that seems like a real possibility at this point.

Wide Receivers

 

PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDFLPoints
DeAndre Hopkins99.61404.48.50000.9189.64
Leading the NFL in receiving touchdowns (13) last season, Hopkins now has four seasons with 75-plus catches and three seasons with 1,200-plus yards through his age-25 season. With a league-high 174 targets last season, Hopkins had 35-percent target share in 10 of 15 games and double-digit targets 11 times. As the focal point of Houston's offense, he arguably has the highest floor among all receivers in the league.
Will Fuller52.1765.96.34.622.101114.6
The Texans scored 30.71 (real) points per game with Deshaun Watson under center; only 13.67 without him. As you'd expect, the games that Fuller played with Watson were much better than those without him. Both were on the field together for just four games (admittedly, an incredibly small sample size), but Fuller scored seven touchdowns in those four games! Durability is a concern for both as Fuller has missed multiple games in both seasons and Watson is returning from a torn ACL, but there is plenty of upside for Fuller if both maintain good health in 2018.
Keke Coutee16.3244.51.60000.333.45
Racking up 93/1,429/10 for the Red Raiders last season, the fourth-round rookie has impressed Andre Johnson and has a chance to be the team's third-most productive receiver this season.
Bruce Ellington22250.81.32.31201.231.68
Braxton Miller14.6119.70.74.618.400.317.41

Tight Ends

 

PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDFLPoints
Stephen Anderson18.7231.91.40000.131.39
Anderson played 15 games last season and set career highs with 25 receptions for 342 yards. With less than 20 yards in nine of those 15 games, Anderson has more upside than Ryan Griffin, but neither tight end is much more than a streaming option. On a positive note, Houston's tight ends have the league's most favorable fantasy football strength of schedule.
Ryan Griffin20.9221.51.40000.230.15
With C.J. Fiedorowicz retiring, the Texans drafted a pair of tight ends -- Jordan Akins and Jordan Thomas -- this year. That said, Griffin could get the most snaps at the position, but his upside is relatively limited.
Jordan Akins4.751.70.30000.16.77

With a league-high 174 targets last season, Hopkins had 35-percent target share in 10 of 15 games and double-digit targets 11 times. As the focal point of Houston's offense, he arguably has the highest floor among all receivers in the league. A model of consistency, Hopkins had 70-plus yards and/or a touchdown (plus) in all 15 games last year.
Will Fuller43.5635.15.24.521.60194.87
The Texans scored 30.71 (real) points per game with Deshaun Watson under center; only 13.67 without him. As you'd expect, the games that Fuller played with Watson were much better than those without him. Both were on the field together for just four games, but Fuller scored seven touchdowns in those four games! Durability is a concern for both as Fuller has missed multiple games in both seasons and Watson is returning from a torn ACL, but there is plenty of upside for Fuller if both maintain good health in 2018.

Tight Ends

 

PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDFLPoints
Stephen Anderson17.7221.31.40000.130.33
Anderson played 15 games last season and set career highs with 25 receptions for 342 yards. With less than 20 yards in nine of those 15 games, Anderson has more upside than Griffin, but neither tight end is much more than a streaming option. On a positive note, Houston's tight ends have the league's most favorable fantasy football strength of schedule.
Ryan Griffin19.4203.71.20000.227.17
Griffin has averaged 20-something yards per game in each of the past three seasons. With C.J. Fiedorowicz (concussions) retiring, it's possible that Griffin sets a career-high per-game average but I wouldn't expect a significant jump.
