The Texans are a mess. They just traded their best offensive player (besides Deshaun Watson). At least they returned a ‘stud’ RB in return: David Johnson. With the departure of DeAndre, Will Fuller looks to step out of his shadow and finally have his first complete, breakout season.

Will Fuller (ADP: WR35): There’s no denying Will Fuller’s talent and connection with Deshaun Watson. When on the field, they have lit up the NFL (and fantasy) scoreboards. That’s the issue though, Fuller is never healthy. Here are his games played for his 4 NFL Seasons: 14, 10, 7 and 11. Not super great. But, I feel like he’s worth the risk this year.

There are plenty of targets available in this offense with no Hopkins, and this team is going to be trailing a lot of games and they will be forced to throw. If you need more convincing, I don’t need to do much more research. Fuller had a game of 14 catches, 217 yards and 3 TD’s last year! No one in the NFL can say they had a similar game. That’s the potential that you have with Fuller. He might never put up those numbers again, but he could certainly give you 100+ yards and a touchdown in multiple weeks when healthy.

He’s a far better use of a draft pick than Brandin Cooks (WR36), John Brown (WR37) or Marvin Jones (WR34), all of whom are being drafted right where Fuller is. By the time you have entered this territory in your draft, you should already have one or two wide receivers. Take the big risk and go all in on Fuller. He could end up leading you to a championship if he can stay healthy.

Last but not least, the Tennessee Titans.
