Rest-of-Season Projections
Let go Sunday
Janovich was released by the Texans on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Janovich was one of three fullbacks the Texans were carrying on their roster. The 29-year-old had signed a one-year deal with the team in March after spending the last two seasons in Cleveland. The move will trim down the fullback competition to Paul Quessenberry and Troy Hairston for Houston, while Janovich will work to find a new opportunity elsewhere.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2019
2018
2016
Janovich should benefit from playing under new offensive coordinator Rich Scangarello, who helped oversee a 49ers offense that featured the fullback more than most in 2018. San Francisco fullback Kyle Juszczyk led all fullbacks with 30 receptions in 2018, nearly four times as many as Janovich, who tied for second in the league with eight. Fullback is seldom a position of fantasy relevance, but Janovich may have a chance to be among the league's most prolific with a heavy emphasis on the run and inexperience at receiver potentially leading to more two-back sets.
