5 breakout fantasy football stars to pick up for Week 4
By Jon Dove
No. 3 Will Fuller V, WR, Houston Texans
The Houston Texans are not off to a strong start, but a few of their offensive weapons have looked good. Will Fuller is one of those who has put up strong numbers– especially with Deshaun Watson at quarterback.
Fuller is a burner who can take the top off a defense. He does a good job changing speeds and outpacing the defensive angles. Watson has shown the ability to deliver a good deep ball which plays well for Fuller.
The problem here is that you will likely need to work a trade to land Fuller’s services. However, he’s worth the investment.
He has topped the 100-yard mark in both games he played this season. This past weekend he was the team’s most targeted receiver with 11. In previous years, Fuller has been a boom or bust fantasy option. Things have changed a little with him developing into a stronger route runner.
DeAndre Hopkins is still the team’s No. 1 receiver, but opposing defenses are going to key on shutting him down. This means that Fuller will get more than a few one-on-one opportunities.
The biggest worries surrounding Fuller are his durability and the Texans offensive line. Fuller has missed time in each of his first three seasons. He tends to get banged up from time to time.
