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.
Well *&^$!Same here. Sat him because of the match-up. Never again. Watson is going deep several times a game no matter what.
I agree it heavily impacts him and all Texans for that matter but more him but not because I think Savage or a Texans QB lacks the arm or sac to throw it deep. 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.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
that too, fair pointI agree it heavily impacts him and all Texans for that matter but more him but not because I think Savage or a Texans QB lacks the arm or sac to throw it deep.

He's not dead. 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)I still believe!
Kinda.
Same here, unless I go with Marlon Mack. Worst part for me is that this is the first time I may start him this year. Had him stashed on my bench for 5 weeks until now so I missed out on all that good stuff he’s doneEveryone is on bye so I'm rolling with Fuller see u on the other side
Same, finally decided this week was an unmissable opportunity and then this happens. Back to Baldwin and his 6 pointsSame here, unless I go with Marlon Mack.

I have Baldwin on that team tooSame, finally decided this week was an unmissable opportunity and then this happens. Back to Baldwin and his 6 points
Brutal, can't rely on the guy, benched him both times he was actually decent and started him just about every other week. FMLI have Baldwin on that team too
I like it. Just make sure he's not trotting out there still hurt, and due to other injuries. Like montgomery, one good shot and the game is over for them.Looks like Fuller may be back this week. If he is, I think I will be starting him over DJax.
It's a high risk reward situation anyway. Fuller never really connected with Savage. And with Watson it was all long TDs ( which were nice). Hard to predict that.I like it. Just make sure he's not trotting out there still hurt, and due to other injuries. Like montgomery, one good shot and the game is over for them.
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 thatInsein said:It's a high risk reward situation anyway. Fuller never really connected with Savage. And with Watson it was all long TDs ( which were nice). Hard to predict that.
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.I like it. Just make sure he's not trotting out there still hurt, and due to other injuries. Like montgomery, one good shot and the game is over for them.
even more impressive, he made Deshone Kizer look like #1 overall pick material!he also dominated college while playing for a major program (91st percentile dominator rating; 95th percentile YPR).
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.

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.

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.

I agree, Bri. Fuller isn't as one-dimensional as he was last year.Bri said: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.
I do and started them both. Will continue starting both if healthyAnyone else have both him and Hopkins? Trying to decide how to navigate that.
Yep. It seems Watson looks at them as 1a and 1b.I do and started them both. Will continue starting both if healthy
I’ve said this a couple times now so glad others are seeing it.Bri said:He's much better than last year. He isn't just fast (most of the time) but instead a complete WR.

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. Before leaving, Fuller reeled in 4-of-5 targets for 49 yards and a score.

Texans coach Bill O'Brien thinks Will Fuller (hamstring) could have played in the second half if he let him.
"But he wasn't going to be able to run all of the routes we needed him to run," O'Brien added. "Fuller wanted to be in there, but I made that decision." The speedy receiver has been dealing with hamstring issues since training camp, so holding him out was probably the right call. This update is good news for Fuller's Week 5 availability, but he still should be considered questionable for that game.
