The Texans used to have one of the better skill groups in the league. They had DeAndre Hopkins, a top three wide receiver, Will Fuller, incredible when healthy, Carlos Hyde, who was alright, Lamar Miller, ruined by Bill O’Brien’s offense, Keke Coutee, forever kenneled, but they never got much from their third receivers or from the tight end position. Those were the good old days, as mundane as they were.
Now, today, Houston is led by the tiny Brandin Cooks, who won’t be nearly as good without Deshaun Watson, David Johnson, who was abysmal and injured last season and is another year older, the midzone running Phillip Lindsay, the aged Mark Ingram and Rex Burkhead, project wide receiver Nico Collins, a group of tight ends without a sure starter, and a malady of wide receivers.
