10 NFL sleepers to watch in the 2020 season

Will Fuller V, Houston Texans

For years, Fuller has had two major barriers keeping him from reaching the potential.

First, the presence of superstar receiver DeAndre Hopkins has blocked the WR1 role, and for good reason. Second is injuries, as the former Notre Dame pass catcher has failed to play in more than 14 games in any season.

Obviously, the first issue was resolved by Bill O’Brien’s substantial lack of judgement, as Hopkins was traded to the Arizona Cardinals for a second-round pick and running back David Johnson. While the team also traded for wideout Brandin Cooks, Fuller should be able to become the number one wideout for quarterback Deshaun Watson in 2020.

The second problem is less clear and simple to resolve. But, one has to think at some point, Fuller will be able to stay healthy for an entire season.

The Texans picked up their fifth-year option on Fuller a year ago, which sets the stage for Fuller to be a free agent when the season ends. So putting together a complete season, and being highly productive in doing so, will be imperative for his future.

Look for Fuller to have a breakout season for Houston in 2020.
