• Texans' Xavier Hutchinson: Three targets in loss

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  Hutchinson did not catch any of his three targets in Thursday's 21-13 loss to the Jets in Week 9. Houston's passing attack was expected to be challenged with both Nico Collins (hamstring) and Stefon Diggs (knee) unavailable, which made the possibility of Hutchinson or John Metchie having a productive game. However, the offensive line put an end to any such notion. Quarterback C.J. Stroud was was sacked eight times, hit on another 11 attempts and was running for his life all game. Beyond Tank Dell's 126 yards, there was little else happening for receivers. Hutchinson, who led the wideouts with 59 snaps, and Metchie (two targets, no catches) were shut out in the loss.

• Texans' Xavier Hutchinson: Should keep spot in three-wide sets

  7D ago • By RotoWire

  Hutchinson should have a regular role in three-receiver sets after Stefon Diggs (knee) was diagnosed Tuesday with a torn ACL, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. With top wideout Nico Collins (hamstring) having played just four snaps over the Texans' last four games, Hutchinson had already been handling an expanded role. He played north of 60 percent of offensive snaps in three of those four contests but produced a meager 4-61-0 receiving line on seven targets over that stretch. Collins is set to miss one more game Thursday versus the Jets before potentially returning from injured reserve in Week 10, but the season-ending injury Diggs suffered in Week 8 keeps a spot open for Hutchinson. However a healthy Collins, along with Tank Dell and tight end Dalton Schultz, should still dominate targets from C.J. Stroud, making Hutchinson is risky fantasy option.

• Texans' Xavier Hutchinson: Maintains elevated snap count

  15D ago • By RotoWire

  Hutchinson caught his lone target for 11 yards in Sunday's 24-22 loss to the Packers. Hutchinson continued a run of elevated snap counts, as both Nico Collins (hamstring) and Robert Woods (foot) were inactive. Hutchinson, who was on the field for 41 snaps Sunday, has averaged 41 snaps over the past three weeks. The increased playing time hasn't elevated him to fantasy relevance, however. He has three catches on six targets for 42 yards in those three games.

• Texans' Xavier Hutchinson: Steps in for injured starter

  29D ago • By RotoWire

  Hutchinson caught two of three targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Bills in Week 5. Hutchinson's three targets were a season high, and the wideout was handed a season-high 48 snaps in place of Nico Collins, who was removed after nine snaps with a hamstring injury. Last week, Robert Woods was the main beneficiary when Tank Dell was inactive. Collins will be monitored this week as Houston prepares for a Week 6 visit to New England, and the Texans haven't ruled him out for next Sunday's matchup, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston. If Collins is sidelined though, it's not clear whether Hutchinson or Woods, or both, would step into a bigger role.

• Texans' Xavier Hutchinson: One official target in loss

  09/23/2024 • By RotoWire

  Hutchinson did not catch his lone target in Sunday's 34-7 loss to Minnesota in Week 3. Hutchinson had another target that would have resulted in a 16-yard catch for a first down, but it was wiped out by an illegal formation penalty. Through three weeks, the second-year wideout has one catch on three targets for three yards. He and Robert Woods are getting similar playing time thus far as depth behind Nico Collins, Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell.
