Team news: Houston Texans

Phillip Lindsay agreed to a 1 year deal with the @HoustonTexans

The former Pro Bowler joins David Johnson and Mark Ingram in the Houston backfield. It looks like the Texans are planning to utilize an ugly RBBC, or perhaps they're planning to bring back the Wishbone Offense.

The #Texans are signing QB Tyrod Taylor to an incentive-laden contract, similar to what Cam Newton and Jameis Winston agreed to in recent days, per source. It can be worth up to $12.5 million, but the base value is less than half that. Solid backup money, and more if he plays.

Texans to sign Andre Roberts, according to a league source.

Andre Roberts has mainly been involved in special teams coverage for the past four seasons. He should provide a similar role for the Texans, and isn't fantasy relevant heading into 2021.

Former Ravens' RB Mark Ingram reached agreement on a one-year deal worth up to $3 million with the Houston Texans, per source.

At 31-years old, it appears Mark Ingram will be part of a committee backfield with David Johnson as the lead in Houston. With Deshaun Watson trade rumors still swirling, it's still unclear just how productive this Texans offense will be in 2021.

Houston continues to avoid conversations with teams in regards to trading Deshaun Watson per sources. They are refusing to trade their franchise QB.

Grab all the snacks folks, because this could get ugly as the offseason progresses. If Watson stays and plays for Houston, he's currently 4for4's QB7.

@JFowlerESPN from a source:

"Deshaun Watson has a list of teams he's 'intrigued by' ... I didn't get all the teams, but I was told that the Denver Broncos, San Francisco 49ers are two of them. ... I was told the Jets, 'eh probably not.'"

If Deshaun Watson were to end up in Denver, it would offer a fantasy boost for Courtland Sutton, Noah Fant, and Jerry Jeudy. The Niners offense also boasts its own share of weapons with plenty of upside.

Deshaun Watson officially has requested a trade from the Houston Texans, per league sources. He actually did it weeks ago. Their new head-coaching hire, David Culley, has not and will not alter Watson’s thinking.

It appears the hiring of David Culley will not impact Deshaun Watson's decision to vacate Houston. Landing spots for the 25-year old include Washington, Carolina and New York, among others.
