The Houston Texans and their star quarterback Deshaun Watson have to learn to live without Watson’s security blanket, DeAndre Hopkins, in 2020.
Hopkins, who was traded a few weeks ago, was targeted 150 times last year, more than double any other receiver. He also accounted for 68 first downs in 2019, and 85 in 2018. That is a lot of significant, clutch production the Texans have to replace.
The Texans do have several players on their roster who have shown promise in previous seasons, and it is time for them to up their game.
