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

Two targets in win
WRHouston Texans
October 14, 2024
Hutchinson did not catch either of his two targets in Sunday's 41-21 win over the Patriots in Week 6.
ANALYSIS
Hutchinson is the next wideout up after Houston placed Nico Collins (hamstring) on injured reserve, playing 48 snaps and getting targeted three times in Week 5 after Collins left that contest. The Collins injury is unlikely to result in a meaningful role for Hutchinson, who saw 33 snaps Sunday and sits behind Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell on the wide receiver depth chart and below tight end Dalton Schultz as a target. Additionally, the returns of running backs Joe Mixon and Dameon Pierce took pressure off the passing game in Week 6.

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.

Bigger role in Week 4?
WRHouston Texans
September 28, 2024
With Tank Dell sidelined for Sunday's game against Jacksonville due to a chest injury, Hutchinson could see a larger snap count with the first-team offense in three- or four-wideout sets.
ANALYSIS
Hutchinson and veteran Robert Woods have seen equal time as the Texans' No. 4 wideout this season behind Nico Collins, Stefon Diggs and Dell. Hutchinson has been targeted just once in each of the first three games of the regular season, but he should have more opportunities Sunday due to Dell not suiting up.
