Having played their first season in 2002, the Houston Texans are the youngest franchise in the NFL.

The Texans have not been shy about making moves involving wide receivers of late, as they seemingly got fleeced by the Arizona Cardinals for DeAndre Hopkins earlier this year.

If Bill O’Brien and the Houston Texans hope to stay in playoff contention in 2020, they will need running back David Johnson and wide receiver Brandin Cooks to stay healthy.
