ANALYSIS: Houston Texans wide receiver Xavier Hutchinson is now a potential waiver wire target, with both of Houston's top-2 WRs, Nico Collins (hamstring) and Stefon Diggs (knee), expected to miss Thursday's game against the New York Jets. There's a void in the WR room now that someone will have to fill.
Houston's only success of the day against a Green Bay stunt?

The injury bug has devastated WR rooms across the NFL, and it looks like Houston is now the next victim. They'll head into a tough matchup against the talented New York Jets secondary. Hutchinson has done so little this season that it's tough to trust him heading into such a game.
This offense could lean more heavily on the run with RB Joe Mixon than it has at any point in the season. The New England Patriots embarrassed the Jets in Week 8 with minimal contributions from their wide receivers, instead leaning on the defense and the scoring ability of their lead back, Rhamondre Stevenson.
It's tough to recommend a player who has five receptions on the season as a start heading into a tough matchup, and there are better bench stashes out there. Even Dell has struggled to be impactful in fantasy so far.
