Fantasy Analysis: Houston Texans

Just like I promised football fans, the Houston Texans analysis. Enjoy.

Matt Schaub: Nobody is calling Schaub a world beater and he isn’t but he is wildly underrated. Last year he passed for 4008 yards, 22 TDs and 12 INTs. And that was a down year for him. I’m not trying to tell you this guy is a secret Tom Brady or anything, but an excellent backup QB for your fantasy team that many people forgot about.

Arian Foster: Foster is one of the premiere fantasy backs and no matter what this guy will get his touches. Not much else needs to be said about him, draft him early.

Andre Johnson, Deandre Hopkins and Lestar Jean: Andre Johnson has been a rock for this franchise for nearly every year of its existence (all but the first year). This year he finished 8th amongst receivers in fantasy points. And if he stays healthy there is no reason to believe he won’t finish in the top ten again. Now some of you might say the drafting of Hopkins could limit the value of Johnson. To which I say: Wrong good sir or madam. Hopkins will be the number two receiver that the Texans have lacked and sorely needed and will help free up Johnson. Plenty of people are high on Hopkins, and we at Fantasy Sparks are as well but don’t expect him to be like AJ Green was in his rookie year. Lestar Jean is the third receiver but that is no sure thing. Devier Posey could just as easily take that role, but since he’s currently injured we’ll pretend Jean is the guy. Either way, both had only 6 receptions but they made them count. We won’t say they will become anything fantasy wise but we recognize the potential for it.

Owen Daniels: Schaub likes Daniels a lot. But that’s likely because he’s been playing the role of number two receiver. Last year he posted 716 yards and 6 TDs, but with the drafting of Hopkins it’s possible his numbers will fall. Be wary of that.

Randy Bullock: I literally have no idea who this is, I hadn’t heard of him before today. He has no previous statistics to offer. It’s a little sketchy so I’d avoid him altogether. And if he plays good enough to warrant a spot on your fantasy team then pick him up off the waiver wires.


And that wraps up our double post for today. We’ll be going to single posts tomorrow, so enjoy it while you can. As always let us know what you think with a comment below. Until next time, best wishes.
