Texans Beat: WR Will Fuller is making 'serious progress in all facets' of the offense

Aug 12, 2016

John Harris of Texans.com:

I’m not going to put anyone in the Hall of Fame after a training camp practice, but get ready, folks. Wide receiver Will Fuller is making serious progress in all facets of this offense. I don’t know how many different types of balls he caught during the day, but trust me when I say that the 49ers had issues with him in all areas on the field.

Fantasy Impact:

Fuller is competing with Cecil Shorts and Jaelen Strong for snaps, but it appears that he's off to a great start. The Texans are run-heavy, but there's room in the passing game for another fantasy relevant receiver.

Fantasy Impact:

The expectation is for Matt Ryan (ankle) to play vs. the Seahawks on Sunday, per Dan Quinn but he won't practice on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact:

Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Patrick Mahomes will practice on Wednesday, but Matt Moore will make the “majority” of the team reps.

But when asked, Reid once again didn’t rule out Mahomes for Sunday.

Fantasy Impact:

Patrick Mahomes won't play this week, but he's on the way to beating his 3-6 week recovery time.
