Without Will Fuller, who had a career-high 58 catches for 879 yards and eight touchdowns in 11 games this season, the only receivers on the active roster with receptions this season are Brandin Cooks (52) and Keke Coutee (6). Randall Cobb is on injured reserve and is out for at least two more games with a toe injury. The Texans released Kenny Stills on Friday, a day after Fuller had a career day with six catches for 171 yards and two touchdowns on Thanksgiving.

The story went on to say: the suspension could force rookie Coulter onto the field for the first time after he was drafted in the fifth round out of Rhode Island. The Texans also will use running back Duke Johnson a lot more in the passing game and throw more often to tight ends Akins, Fells and Brown. The Texans also have some receiver options on the practice squad, including former Texas A&M wideout Ratley. Some things to note is the potential rise of Coutee who now finds himself as a possible WR2. Also, it looks like Duke Johnson will have a role even when David Johnson returns.

Texans receiver Will Fuller announced via Instagram Monday that he's been suspended six games for violating the NFL's performance-enhancing drug policy.

It's a huge blow to the Texan offense and a hit to QB Deshaun Waton's fantasy value. Fuller had 53 receptions for 879 yards for an average of 16.58 per catch. Fuller had eight touchdowns for the year. From Sept. 27 through Nov. 8, Fuller had a touchdown catch in each game, a streak of six. The story added Fuller, who's a pending free agent at the conclusion of this season, will miss Houston's five remaining games and the 2021 season opener, regardless of whether he stays put or signs with a different franchise. Cooks, Cobb, Stills and Coutee will move up a spot on the depth chart. Cobb is currently dealing with a toe injury.

When asked about the quiet games Brandin Cooks and he put up, Randall Cobb responded ""In the passing game, it takes a lot to build that chemistry and that trust. It'll come. It's a matter of when. Obviously, we've got to have that urgency moving forward."

Cobb disappointed in his Texans debut as Houston was pounded by the Kansas City Chiefs. Watson will be the receiver to run short and intermediate routes, routes that Watson need to be ran so he has a safety valve with the team's porous offensive line. Look for him to rebound Week 2 in another higher scoring game against the Baltimore Ravens.

Texans WR Brandin Cooks is questionable for Sunday's game with a quad injury, according to Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic.

Cooks played through the injury on opening night, so the extended time off and questionable designation are probably tied to resting Cooks. He will be a WR3/4 against a tough Ravens offense.
