HOUSTON - When the Houston Texans drafted Will Fuller in the first round this year, the goal was to take some pressure off Pro Bowl receiver DeAndre Hopkins.
So far their plan is working perfectly. Fuller finished with four receptions for 104 yards in Houston’s 19-12 win over Kansas City (1-1) on Sunday to become the first rookie in franchise history with consecutive 100-yard receiving games to start his career. The 21st overall pick in this year’s draft had 107 yards receiving in his NFL debut last week.
Hopkins led the team with 113 yards receiving and a touchdown on Sunday to give Houston (2-0) two players with at least 100 yards receiving for the eighth time in franchise history and the first time since 2013.
