Houston Texans wide receiver Vyncint Smith isn’t a household name yet, but judging by Deshaun Watson’s comments it might only be a matter of time before he is. Smith only played in seven games last year catching five passes for 91 yards and a touchdown, but he has spent time this off-season with his quarterback […]

The most important position for any team in the NFL is the quarterback position. As it stands now, we have some of the best play from under center than we’ve ever seen. Troll accounts on Twitter would probably dispute that, but the numbers don’t lie. Teams are incapable of winning with sub-par play from their […]

Johnathan Joseph and his Texans play the Jacksonville Jaguars in London this season. Four months ahead of that game, Joseph has already started spreading his love for the game across the pond.

Ka’imi Fairbairn took hold of the starting kicker job before the 2017 season for the Texans, and he hopes to fill that role for the considerable future as well.

The Houston Texans could really use a big year from running back D’Onta Foreman. Houston had high hopes for Foreman when it drafted him in the third round in 2017. His career got off to a promising start. He looked electric in limited action as a rookie, but then he tore his Achilles on a […]

People who play fantasy football are beginning to look into players they could steal in the draft—who are better known as “sleepers”. One player who can be considered a sleeper in fantasy drafts this year is Will Fuller of the Houston Texans. The Texans wide receiver was on his way to another impressive season in […]

Lamar Miller is one of those running backs who are kind of just “there.” He isn’t an elite rusher like Todd Gurley or Ezekiel Elliott, and he isn’t a versatile, do-it-all back like Saquon Barkley or Christian McCaffrey. He also is hardly a bum. Miller finds himself right smack dab in the middle, a running […]

The Houston Texans may have fired general manager Brian Gaine earlier this month, a move that came out of left field considering the Texans had allowed Gaine to handle both free agency and the draft. So, would some of Gaine’s free-agent pickups be having second thoughts about staying in Houston now? Not quarterback A.J. McCarron. […]

Lamar Miller wants to improve all-around as a running back for the Houston Texans, and part of doing that involves becoming a better receiver out of the backfield, which is something he really wants to work on: “Once you catch the ball, I just think that you make a guy miss or breaking tackles,” Miller […]

Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller is coming off a strong 2018 campaign. Regardless, it appears he was adamant about making some minor changes to his physique this offseason.

The Houston Texans selected Kahale Warring with their third-round draft pick in April and even though he has only been on the team for a couple of months, he has already turned many heads.

For years, the Houston Texans have been good, but not good enough. Will Fuller knows this.

This past season, the Texans won 11 games but were […]

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson had a solid 2018 campaign, but given that he was coming off of a torn ACL, he couldn’t really have the type of season he had been hoping for. But now, Watson feels like he is ahead of where he was last season, and he sees the Texans’ offense flourishing […]

The Houston Texans managed to add to their talented defensive group this offseason. Regardless, it appears they will be relying heavily on a familiar face in defensive end Carlos Watkins.

Roby and fellow cornerback Lonnie Johnson, Jr. “are off to a slow start” […]

The Houston Texans have decided to stop pursuing Nick Caserio for their General Manager opening, and the New England Patriots have decided to drop the tampering charges.

But because of hamstring injuries, Coutee played […]
