The Facts: The Houston Texans have already moved on from J.J. Watt and Deshaun Watson wants out as quickly as possible. Now, the team could be on the brink of losing another one of its core contributors from recent years. The Athletic’s Aaron Reiss analyzed the Texans’ options with the franchise tag. While he didn’t rule out the possibility of Fuller being tagged, the Texans’ beat reporter believes it’s more likely Houston allows the 26-year-old to test free agency. If that happens, the expectation is Fuller signing a one-year contract with another team.
Diehards Line:Fuller, Houston’s first-round pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, has been one of the best vertical threats since entering the league. Partnering with Watson, the two routinely connect for highlight plays. When the Texans traded DeAndre Hopkins last offseason, it opened the door for Fuller to become the No. 1 receiver and he thrived in the role. Now, as the Texans attempt to convince Watson to stick with them, it seems one of his favorite targets could be headed out the door in free agency. There’s an element of risk with Fuller. In his first five seasons, he only played in 53 of a possible 80 games. For the first four years of his career, injuries were responsible for him being sidelined. When he’s on the field, however, Fuller is a dangerous weapon. He is the best receiver on go-routes over the past two years, per Pro Football Focus, leading the NFL in catches (12), receiving yards (450) and touchdowns (five) on that route. He could be a fantastic fit for teams like the New York Jets, Miami Dolphins and Green Bay Packers. If he’s willing to sign for less to land in a better situation, his list of suitors in free agency will be extensive.
