BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 50% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Houston Texans wide receiver Noah Brown has struggled in the last two weeks, but recent injuries might make him a go-to option in the Texans' offense. Given his performance in Week 9 and 10, Brown should be rostered for his big-game potential in a starting role.
All of a sudden, the Houston Texans are hurting at wide receiver. In Week 13, they lost star rookie Tank Dell to a fractured fibula. He's on IR and will not return this season. This past weekend, third-year breakout receiver Nico Collins suffered a calf injury and was unable to return.
It's unknown how serious the injury is. Brown was inactive in Weeks 11 and 12, but in Weeks 8-10, Brown finished with 19 targets, 16 receptions, and 382 yards. He racked up 7.2, 24.3, and 20.7 half-PPR points in those three contests. During those three games, Brown had a full-time role, and with the injuries to Dell and now Collins, Brown is likely to be a starter for the rest of the season.
In Week 13, despite Dell's early exit, Brown finished with just two targets and zero receptions. This past weekend, he ran 27 routes on 34 dropbacks. This was second to only Robert Woods. The weather was poor and C.J. Stroud ended up getting knocked out of the game for some time.
For the second game in a row, Brown finished with zero receptions. He did, however, have six targets, which was the most for the team. The lack of production in two straight games is not ideal, but fantasy managers should be expecting him to play a lot of snaps and run a lot of routes moving forward.
