AFC South Factory Divisional Nuggets: Week 4

Dynasty / By /

HOUSTON TEXANS
This team seems to be alternating between exciting offensive battles like the Week 1 shootout in New Orleans and Week 3’s 27-20 upset win over the Chargers on the road. In the even weeks, they’ve been borderline unwatchable so far, holding off Jacksonville for a 13-12 victory in the final minute in Week 2 and then falling at home to Carolina 16-10 on Sunday. In other words, this is a 2-2 Bill O’Brien coached team that looks like a 2-2 Bill O’Brien coached team.

Dynasty Outlook: Will Fuller vs Keke Coutee

Dynasty / By /

Over the last few weeks, I’ve seen quite a bit of discussion and debate surrounding the Houston Texan’s wide receiving corps. At the top of the depth chart is arguably the best receiver in the league in DeAndre Hopkins. There isn’t much room for discussion as to who will command the majority of targets in that offense.

It’s a well-known trope that tight ends typically take several years to develop into productive members of the fantasy football community. There are outliers to this truism such as Gronk, Tony Gonzalez, Antonio Gates and Greg Olsen, who just happen to be the four greatest tight ends to play during my lifetime. They all broke

When you think of the Texans your first thought I’m sure is of J J Watt. Nevertheless, every great defense has some exceptional contributors. It’s a team game after all. In fact, many times it’s other players who can benefit from a superstar and by extension, help them to elevate their own game. In Whitney
