WR Will Fuller, MIA (2 Viewers)

At least Bill O'Brien and company didn't pull any fast game plans where they dress him as a decoy for five-ten plays with no intention of getting him the ball.
I do know one thing about Fuller, and that's that his ADP should drop precipitously, though as Dr. Dan would probably point out, soft muscle issues usually follow ACL tears.

As a fuller owner I am happy as this makes my flex decision a little easier.
As a Watson owner I am less than thrilled.

Picked up Tyrrell W as a one week replacement, his last decent matchup of the year.

I stack both these guys in the league I'm doing the best in (love having drafted Watson early in a 6 pt. pass TD league. Totally worth it.) and feel the same way you do.
They're talking about how Fuller draws two guys right now and how it affects their offense.
I'm bummed. He doesn't have the greatest of hands, nor is he the most healthy, but he seems to affect that offense a whole heck of a lot.
Oof. I roster this guy in one and it's been nothing but downhill the past three weeks. He gets Tennessee, right? That's not too easy...

That is definitely something that happens. Watching the games live we often are talking about where the safeties are going before the play. They double up Fuller before they'll double up Hopkins a lot of the time.

Yep. Not second-guessing either. I just roster the guy and he's distinctly found my bench. If Jacobs doesn't go, somebody has to earn touches and it may very well be Williams.

Anyone rolling him out there on this news, and if so, over who?
Seems risky with chances of hammy flare up, but then again, it doesn’t take many catches for this guy to make your week.

If you need a ceiling play to win, he can provide it. He can also drop 2 TD passes and pull a hammy, true boom or bust play.

Never again with this clown. Dude has the softest tissue in the history of soft tissue
I knew the risks (left him on the bench last week even though I needed to go for high upside) but figured "if not this matchup....then why did I draft him?". And of course, he pulls up lame in the 2nd quarter.

Yup Mr. Glass probably cost me two chips this year. Unfortunate waste of Lamar by me.
He is just like young Isaac Bruce and unless he marries an Olympian and gets a personal nutritionist and trainer it's just gonna keep happening. I know that's unrealistic and I'm exaggerating but I can't believe he doesn't meet with he and his wife and chat. Bruce is always saying he loves helping athletes and how much they do. Fuller has no clue how to properly tend to his explosive ability and it's identical. That was a big story when Bruce was young, when he married her, and when he retired. Torry Holt talked about this on TV the other day too. It's over every common man's head, but he's gotta sync up with some famous athletes that were also blessed with that ability and learn from them.
Henry was talking to CJ and Eddie George about his hammy. I see Andre Johnson on TV at Texans games....cmon Fuller, talk to a veteran and change whatever to stop this.

Crossing my fingers he's healthy and makes a meaningful impact throughout the game. When he's out there, the Texans offense is a different beast and plays open up. They need a healthy Fuller if they want any chance to upset KC.

Absolutely figured this. I thought it might be a tear in his hammy, tough. I almost knew dead certain he was having surgery.
Still can't shake the fact that he's been injured quite often in his career. Love the speed factor in that offense, can't have him on the team.

I keep holding. I remember Isaac Bruce having soft tissue problems early in his career. He eventually got things figured out. If Fuller ever does, he's a WR1/2.

I am counting on this too. When he's on the field, he's one hard guy to stop. Let's hope next year will be the one he can play fully healthy. I think at least he will be doing everything he can do to stop the cycle of getting hurt.

Because they are calling Fuller the #1? If so the opinion you have is similar to opinion I had about Fuller's disrespect the night Cooks got traded and people assumed he was the #1. I said as much in the Cooks thread the night he got traded. I did not call Fuller the #1 and still really won't but think and thought then it was something more or less up for debate, they seemed like similar players to me. I got some pushback on that and since that time I've been seeing Cooks go several rounds before Fuller in redrafts so general fantasy community certainly seems to have jumped on conclusion Cooks is the #1.
So a few days later when I saw a Texans beat writer on the Athletic taking questions in a Q&A I asked him. Here was that part of the question I asked and response I got back below. I'm going to just say this is one beat writers opinion. Don't have to agree. But it goes back to what I'm saying about I don't think Cooks should be assumed as the #1, and probably not Fuller either though I personally put a higher value on him. Anyway my question is in bold the answer from the beat writer Aaron Reiss follows and here is the link: Texans mailbag
Who do you consider the Texans’ No. 1 WR, or would you say they don’t have one?
I’d say Fuller is the No. 1 receiver, but given his injury history, it’s reasonable to assume there could be a handful of games in which Cooks is the top wideout. Given the Texans are likely to spread the ball around more without DeAndre Hopkins, maybe David Johnson leads the team in targets. O’Brien is clearly a big believer in the running back, who received 120 targets during his 2016 All-Pro season.

I'd say the guy with 4 1000 yard seasons and significantly more time being the WR defenses focus most on a team is the likely number 1. I like Fuller's ceiling and he has certainly flashed, but Cooks definitely has more experience as a number 1, and has been successful in that role.
ETA- perhaps I am nitpicking, just seems like they want to take potshots at Cooks whenever possible. I'm not a huge Cooks fan, but his resume looks a lot more like a #1 WR than Fuller's.

He's not really much closer to any other player from never playing again, as far as you or I or the guy writing roto blurbs knows.

Fuller is a career high if healthy guy every year. I'm targeting him again at his ADP in redraft. Again, I can't believe it. This guy is getting to be like Josh Gordon. Okay, nobody is like Gordon, but...
