QUARTERBACKS
| Player | Att. | Comp. | Yards | TD | INT | Rush | Yards | TD | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| C.J. Stroud | 510.8 | 319.3 | 3550.1 | 18.39 | 13.79 | 44.3 | 181.6 | 1.33 | 214.12 |
| Davis Mills | 47.4 | 29.9 | 317.6 | 1.68 | 1.4 | 5.3 | 14.8 | 0.11 | 18.76 |
C.J. Stroud: Stroud displayed pinpoint accuracy when given time in the pocket at Ohio State, and he had an eye-opening performance against Georgia in the College Football Playoff with how consistently he made plays outside of structure. Although he hasn't officially been handed the starting job yet, he has earned praise and respect from his new coaches and teammates. Texans quarterbacks coach Jerrod Johnson has said that Stroud is "already way, way ahead of pace" with his footwork and timing. Meanwhile, left tackle Laremy Tunsil recently said, "How I describe C.J.: dawg. He's a straight dawg. He comes in there ready to work, he handles the huddle perfectly and he goes out there and balls, man."
RUNNING BACKS
| Player | Att. | Yards | TD | Rec. | Yards | TD | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dameon Pierce | 212.8 | 925.7 | 5.43 | 33.2 | 232.1 | 1.2 | 172.16 |
| Devin Singletary | 115.9 | 515.8 | 2.67 | 29.7 | 216.6 | 1.1 | 110.71 |
| Mike Boone | 29.3 | 131.9 | 0.66 | 5.8 | 46.4 | 0.2 | 25.89 |
| Dare Ogunbowale | 10.5 | 43.1 | 0.27 | 4.5 | 34.8 | 0.2 | 12.86 |
| Troy Hairston | 0 | 0 | 0 | 5.4 | 44.5 | 0.2 | 8.35 |
Dameon Pierce: Pierce had never exceeded 106 carries in his four seasons at Florida, but he reached that number through his first six games with the Texans. While he missed the final four games of the season with an ankle injury, he had 220 carries for 939 yards and four touchdowns through Week 14. He also added 30 catches for 165 yards and a touchdown. The former Gator was the RB15 through Week 14. Despite Houston signing Devin Singletary, Pierce is still a viable RB2 in 2023.
Devin Singletary: Through four seasons in Buffalo, Singletary had more than 150 carries and averaged exactly 2.4 receptions every year. The workload will almost certainly decline in Houston as he becomes the second option to Pierce, but he could be a bye-week flex option.
WIDE RECEIVERS
| Player | Rec. | Yards | TD | Rush | Yards | TD | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nico Collins | 58.1 | 777.4 | 3.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 127.79 |
| Robert Woods | 55.3 | 690.4 | 3.6 | 2.1 | 13.7 | 0.09 | 120.2 |
| John Metchie III | 45.9 | 566.6 | 3.1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 98.21 |
| Tank Dell | 22.7 | 266.9 | 1.4 | 1.3 | 9.4 | 0.05 | 47.68 |
| Noah Brown | 11.3 | 150.8 | 0.8 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 25.53 |
| Xavier Hutchinson | 3.5 | 48.3 | 0.3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 8.38 |
Nico Collins: Collins appeared in only 10 games last season, but he ranked second to Brandin Cooks on a per-game basis in receptions (3.7) and yards (48.1). With Cooks traded to the Cowboys, Collins is the early favorite to lead the Texans' receiving corps in fantasy production.
Robert Woods: Woods arguably had the worst season of his 10-year career as he set career lows in yards per reception (9.9), yards per target (5.8) and yards per game (31.0). Although Ryan Tannehill also missed five games, Woods reached the 40-yard receiving mark in only four of 17 games in 2022. While his upside is relatively low, it's possible he emerges as the team's most consistent receiver.
Tank Dell: Dell was uber productive (199/2,727/29 in 27 games over past two years) in college, and though he's undersized (5-8, 165), he's extremely quick. Talking about the wide receivers on SportsRadio 610, DeMeco Ryans recently praised Dell's "route-running ability. He's been open a lot in OTAs. So that's exciting."
TIGHT ENDS
| Player | Rec. | Yards | TD | Rush | Yards | TD | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dalton Schultz | 55.5 | 599.5 | 3.3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 107.5 |
| Brevin Jordan | 14.1 | 148.9 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 27.94 |
| Teagan Quitoriano | 4 | 44.5 | 0.3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 8.25 |
Dalton Schultz: Schultz has a minimum of 89 targets in each of the past three seasons, and he has averaged 4.1 receptions and 41.7 yards per game over that span. While he may get a tick less in terms of volume, he has the potential to lead the Texans in receptions in 2023.
