Will Fuller Not Expected To Play Against Patriots
6 years agoHouston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller (hamstring) is not expected to play in the team's Week 1 game against the New England Patriots. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Fuller will warm up with the team to test his hamstring, but most signs point to the third-year receiver sitting this game out. Expect the Texans to use Bruce Ellington more on the outside as a replacement for Fuller, but the main beneficiary of Fuller's absence could be an uptick in targets for the player who was already slated to lead the team in targets, DeAndre Hopkins, and more reliance on the run game.
