There has been plenty of talk regarding the lack of firepower at Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson's disposal. Fortunately, he has managed to make do against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 2.
Watson delivered a dime that resulted in an impressive 14-yard touchdown grab by wide receiver Will Fuller, via NFL Twitter:

The Texans caught plenty of flack for parting ways with wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins this offseason and the move has seemingly come back to haunt them through the first two games of the 2020 NFL season. While a quarterback of Watson's elite caliber is well-equipped to make the necessary adjustments, he will need more help from his supporting cast if they hope to justify the trade.
Fuller has been tasked with taking over as the No. 1 option for Watson in the passing game ever since Hopkins' departure. Although his track record with injuries leaves plenty of room for concern, he will need to prove he is capable of leading the receiving corps when healthy.
