HOUSTON -- For the Houston Texans to contend for the playoffs this season, here are the five players who can help make that happen.
Deshaun Watson, quarterback: A glance at the Texans' record in the second half of last season (1-8) after Watson tore his ACL is an indication of what this team could look like if he cannot stay healthy or play near his level as a rookie. Head coach Bill O'Brien spent the offseason working on the playbook to accentuate Watson's strengths, and if the quarterback can take a step forward in 2018, Houston's offense could be one of the best in the NFL.
