QUARTERBACKS

C.J. Stroud524.7327.93646.718.8914.1744.3181.61.33219.23
Davis Mills33.521.1224.51.190.995.314.80.1113.9

C.J. Stroud: Stroud has consistently earned praise from his coaches and teammates throughout the offseason. Unsurprisingly, he's been officially named the Week 1 starter against the Baltimore Ravens. An accurate passer when given time in the pocket at Ohio State, Stroud consistently made plays outside of structure against the Georgia Bulldogs in the College Football Playoff. He's off the fantasy radar in single-QB redraft leagues, but he should increase the overall efficiency of Houston's offense in 2023.

RUNNING BACKS

PlayerAtt.YardsTDRec.YardsTDPoints
Dameon Pierce214.9934.85.6936.1257.41.3179.21
Devin Singletary113.8506.42.6727.2197.40.9105.4
Mike Boone29.3128.90.674.938.70.224.43
Dare Ogunbowale10.543.10.275.946.50.214.73

Dameon Pierce: Pierce had never exceeded 106 carries in his four seasons at Florida, but he reached that number through his first six games last year 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 for fantasy managers 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 certainly decline in Houston, but he would become a RB2 if Pierce were to miss any time.

WIDE RECEIVERS

PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDPoints
Nico Collins60.6805.24.1000135.42
Robert Woods45.4572.932.113.70.0999.9
John Metchie III34435.52.300074.35

Noah Brown19.7243.91.300042.04
Xavier Hutchinson3.548.40.30008.39

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 Dallas Cowboys, Collins is a breakout candidate and the favorite to lead the Texans' receiving corps in fantasy production.

Robert Woods: Woods arguably had his worst season 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 with the Titans in 2022. While his upside is relatively low, it's possible he emerges as the team's most consistent receiver.

TIGHT ENDS

Andrew Beck4.544.50.20007.9
Brevin Jordan3.132.90.20006.04

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.

Davis Mills47.429.9317.61.681.45.314.80.1118.76

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."

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.

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.

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."

Below you will find our 2022 fantasy football projections for the Houston Texans.

QUARTERBACKS

PlayerAtt.Comp.YardsTDINTRushYardsTDPoints
Davis Mills535.5355.63802.121.9612.8524.262.90.48223.39
Kyle Allen40.325.6280.11.631.014140.0817.58

Davis Mills: Considering the circumstances, Mills exceeded his 2021 expectations. The third-round rookie completed slightly more than two-thirds of his pass attempts while throwing 16 touchdowns to 10 interceptions over 13 games. Entering his second season as the clear starter, there is an opportunity to build upon last year's production even if he isn't yet a fantasy-viable option outside of two-QB and Super Flex leagues.

RUNNING BACKS

PlayerAtt.YardsTDRec.YardsTDPoints
Dameon Pierce180.6776.64.720.61470.8135.66
Rex Burkhead62251.11.8642.3306.21.999.44

Dare Ogunbowale8.733.90.245.338.80.313.16
Troy Hairston1.43.50.041.18.20.12.56

Dameon Pierce: Pierce never exceeded 106 carries in any season in Gainesville, but the former Gator has featured-back size who runs with physicality and good contact balance. Impressing in training camp and the preseason, Pierce looks "more like he could be the lead back Week 1."

Rex Burkhead: In his first season with the Texans, Burkhead had 122 carries for 427 yards and three touchdowns and added 25 catches for 186 yards. He now has 25-plus catches in three consecutive seasons and four of the past five. While he may rank third on the team in carries, Burkhead should handle the vast majority of pass-down reps.

Marlon Mack: In 2018 and 2019 combined, Mack rushed for 1,999 yards and 17 touchdowns on 442 carries (4.52 YPC). Since then, he has appeared in just seven games with a total of 37 scoreless touches and he appears to behind Pierce (early downs) and Burkhead (third downs) for snaps to enter the season.

WIDE RECEIVERS

PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDPoints
Brandin Cooks94.31126.75.91.610.80.05196.6
Nico Collins51.56453.8000113.05
Chris Conley39.5510.32.800087.58
Phillip Dorsett28330.71.900058.47
Chris Moore16169.40.900030.34
Jalen Camp1.316.30.10002.88

Brandin Cooks: Cooks has eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark in back-to-back seasons and six of the past seven. In addition, he has finished as a top-20 fantasy receiver in six of the past seven seasons. As the team's clear go-to receiver, he'll be a reliable WR2 for fantasy managers in 2022 with the upside to outperform his draft status.

Nico Collins: As a rookie, Collins finished with 33 catches for 445 yards and a touchdown. With John Metchie III (acute promyelocytic leukemia) expected to miss the 2022 season, it opens up opportunities for Collins to make a second-year jump. (On a positive -- and more important -- note, Metchie described APL as "the most curable form of Leukemia" and he expects to "make a recovery at a later point in time.")

TIGHT ENDS

Paul Quessenberry1.110.20.10002.17

Brevin Jordan: Jordan made his NFL debut in Week 8 and finished with 20 catches for 178 yards and three touchdowns. While those aren't prolific numbers, he was fantasy's TE24 in half-PPR scoring from Week 8 on. Atop the team's depth chart heading into his second season, there is some sleeper appeal with the former Hurricane, especially in TE-premium formats.

Dameon Pierce: Pierce never exceeded 106 carries in any season in Gainesville, but the former Gator has featured-back size who runs with physicality and good contact balance. Like with Marlon Mack, there could be an opportunity for Pierce to seize a larger share of the workload than expected and outperform his ADP. It's likely that Pierce sees his role expand as the season progresses, even if he's behind Mack (and/or Rex Burkhead) to start the season.

Marlon Mack: In 2018 and 2019 combined, Mack rushed for 1,999 yards and 17 touchdowns on 442 carries (4.52 YPC). Since then, he has appeared in just seven games with a total of 37 scoreless touches. Signed to a $2 million, one-year deal, Mack could outperform his ADP as part of a three-headed running back committee that currently lacks a clear top guy.

Rex Burkhead: In his first season with the Texans, Burkhead had 122 carries for 427 yards and three touchdowns and added 25 catches for 186 yards. He now has 25-plus catches in three consecutive seasons and four of the past five.
