Houston Texans
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Hutchinson began to see regular targets beginning in Week 14 as a rookie. The receiver was pressed into a bigger role when the Texans were dealing with wide receiver injuries. Despite averaging three targets per game averaged 1.2 receptions for 9.4 yards. Hutchinson didn’t show great chemistry with C.J. Stroud, which could hurt his chances at seeing a prominent role in 2024. With the top-three wide receiver roles being held by high-level players, Hutchinson may struggle to see playing time unless teammates miss time. Read Past Outlooks

Season-high four targets
WRHouston Texans
November 11, 2024
Hutchinson caught two of four targets for six yards in Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Lions in Week 10.
ANALYSIS
The targets were a season high for Hutchinson, who topped Houston's wideouts with 57 snaps. It was the second consecutive week he's paced the group in playing time -- primarily due to injuries to Nico Collins (IR, hamstring) and Stefon Diggs (IR, knee) -- but it hasn't translated into anything useful for fantasy rosters. Hutchinson has two catches on seven targets for six yards in those two games. If anyone has emerged as a threat, it's John Metchie, who has eight catches on 12 targets for 103 yards and one touchdown over that time. Collins is likely to return in Week 11, which will put a damper on the playing time for either Hutchinson or Metchie, or both.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
After drafting quarterback C.J. Stroud with the second overall pick in the 2023 draft, the Texans subsequently selected a pair of wideouts. Nathaniel Dell went in the third round followed by Hutchinson three rounds later. Hutchinson showed improvement each year Iowa State and caught 107 passes for 1,171 receiving yards while being targeted a nation-high 161 times in 2022. At 6-3, Hutchinson has good size, but he has merely average speed (4.53 40) and ball skills, which contributed to his draft-day slide. There is, however, something for coaches to work with, and Hutchinson's size makes him a red-zone fit. He could have opportunities in Houston, which lacks proven high-end talent, but he'll also have a rookie quarterback in C.J. Stroud running the offense.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Top Texans wideout for Week 10?
WRHouston Texans
November 9, 2024
Tank Dell and Nico Collins are listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions due to back and hamstring injuries, respectively, which opens the door for Hutchinson to take on a larger role in the passing game.
ANALYSIS
Dell has emerged as quarterback C.J. Stroud's top target in the passing game while Collins has been sidelined for the Texans' last four regular-season contests. If one or both of Dell and Collins were unable to play Sunday or operate on a snap count, then Hutchinson, Robert Woods and tight end Dalton Schultz would be in line for more targets from Stroud. Over his last five outings, Hutchinson has caught four passes on 10 targets for 61 yards.
