Ilov80s 20,108 Posted November 1, 2017 Anybody trade him or field offer for him in redraft? What is this guys value? We could be facing a massive selling opportunity now or after this juicy matchup. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BobbyLayne 7,116 Posted November 2, 2017 7 TDs on 13 catches was never sustainable, but dang that sucks about Watson. What might have been. He’ll still be fast next year. What a drag for Hopkins owners & Texans fans. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bri 1,673 Posted November 2, 2017 Watson's injury greatly impacts Fuller IMO. We shall see, but that's my prediction. I don't think the other QBs have the cujones or the arm to throw it deep to Fuller as often Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What made the Watson to Fuller pairing work so great in my opinion was that Watson's elusiveness in the pocket provided Fuller the time he needed to get open. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just think back to first few weeks last season when in PPR leagues he gave you 21.7, 14.4, 6.1, 21.1 and then the wheels starting falling off with increased drops and hamstring issues I think(I did not own him last year so going off memory) He can be that guy, he can be better than that guy in year two. But for sure he is hurt and is now more or less what one would have thought he was entering the season, more on the boom/bust side of things. More of a WR3 type. I own him a ton, one of my big 3 owned redraft players. Don't own him in dynasty and never drafted him, just own him so much because he was cheap waiver wire add early in season. Thing is I've had the hardest time trusting him, of thinking of him more than as a boom/bust WR3. I benched him in every league I could last week, only started him in places when I just had horrendous options. Last week was not only a tough matchup on paper but he had never scored a TD on the road. After last week my confidence in him soared. Now I'm back to viewing him as an untrusty WR3 boom/bust type.

Shutout 1,723 Posted November 2, 2017 Probably reasonable to look at how Hilton has been impacted or Jordy or some other receivers to understand what this means to Fuller and Hopkins. The effect, as Benjamin Button said, was not good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bolded isn't really that correct, I don't remember how many TDs they had together (was it 7?) and I believe maybe 2 of those were long (50+), maybe another 2 were medium (30-49) and the rest under 30...for some reason everyone thinks he's just a deep threat but he is much more then that Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JFS171 710 Posted December 7, 2017 Seems to be a lot of dislike of Fuller that I admittedly bought into in prior years, but I think I've come around the last few months. Fuller looked like a star right out of the gate with Brock Osweiller as his QB. Think about that. I think it's easy to say Fuller is just fast and has bad hands. He is most certainly fast, and his hands are rather small for the position, which leads to drops. I do think he creates separation though, and he certainly doesn't get all the focus of the defense when Hopkins is running on the opposite side. I'd still buy Fuller in dynasty and keepers if I didn't already own him. I think we saw a flash of what Fuller can be when Watson was starting, but Watson's injury brought everything crashing back to earth, and now the narrative is how his TD-rate is completely unsustainable (which, obviously). Fuller is unbelievably fast (99th percentile speed; 83rd percentile speed score), but he also dominated college while playing for a major program (91st percentile dominator rating; 95th percentile YPR). He's not going to score 7 TDs on 13 catches, but I don't see why he can't be a valuable piece down the road. Maybe not a WR1, but solid WR2 with opportunity to blow up and win you a week at any point. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like montgomery, one good shot and the game is over for them. Definitely going with him now (assuming no bad news before Sunday). I need to aim high after Kamara's early exit, and I have at least seen Fuller blow up (albeit not with Savage). Haven't seen that from Jackson this year.

Faust 3,668 Posted June 9, 2018 Texans intrigued by prospects of healthy Will Fuller Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faust 3,668 Posted July 28, 2018 Will Fuller has bulked up to 185 pounds. The Texans are hoping the added weight will improve his durability. Fuller has missed eight games the last two seasons to injuries. There's blowup third-year potential for Fuller if he stays healthy.

TripleThreat 621 Posted September 4, 2018 Anyone have an update on Fuller's hammy? haven't seen anything definitive as of yet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faust 3,668 Posted September 7, 2018 Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports Will Fuller (hamstring) could be a game-time decision for Week 1 against the Patriots. He's been limited at practice this week coming off a strained hamstring. Soft-tissue injuries have a tendency to linger and durability has been an issue for Fuller throughout his career. When asked about Fuller's Week 1 status, coach Bill O'Brien simply said, "We'll see." Fuller could have blow-up potential in a game that most are expecting to be a shootout, though his boom-or-bust nature makes him a risky fantasy bet, particularly at less than 100 percent.

Faust 3,668 Posted September 9, 2018 Quote Will Fuller (hamstring) is unlikely to play in Week 1 against the Patriots. He'll test his hamstring during pregame before making a final decision. Even if he's able to play, Fuller is a dicey FLEX option given the lingering tendencies of soft-tissue injuries. While his absence knocks Deshaun Watson's outlook down a hair, TE Ryan Griffin suddenly emerges as a sneaky Week 1 streamer. DeAndre Hopkins will undoubtedly lead the Texans in target share while the lot of Bruce Ellington, rookie WR Keke Coutee (hamstring, questionable), WR Sammie Coates (hamstring, questionable), and rookie Vyncint Smith fill-in for Fuller.

Bri 1,673 Posted September 18, 2018 He's much better than last year. He isn't just fast (most of the time) but instead a complete WR. He regularly took the short route rather than try and go deep, crossed right in front of the safety or linebacker. He did go deep but he took his shots. He's got some savviness now. Really big improvement, exactly how he needed to from year one to two. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IheartGuinness 373 Posted September 20, 2018 What do people perceive his value to be? I don't watch as many Texans games as I'd like to, so I kind of viewed him as a boom/bust prospect this year, a fast guy who can get separation, but not much of a route runner, and not a guy to consistently start in PPR. Seems like there's more to him than that, though. Would you say he's just below guys like Emmanuel Sanders, Amari Cooper, and Allen Robinson, and slightly above Quincy E., Nelson Agholor, and (possibly) Golden Tate?

bumpman 95 Posted September 20, 2018 The key question about this guy today is whether he can stay on the field. If he stays healthy the rest of the year, he will be a high WR2 with upside. Also assuming Watson stays healthy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faust 3,668 Posted September 30, 2018 Quote Will Fuller exited Week 4 against the Colts with a hamstring injury. Fuller has been battling a hamstring issue all season and was limited in practice this week. Soft-tissue injuries have been Fuller's downfall in the NFL.
