Houston Texans: 5 players whose stock is on the rise
By Randy Gurzi
2. Will Fuller, WR
This preseason the Texans have worked hard to get their first round pick into the game plan. On Sunday, they were rewarded with another big outing from receiver Will Fuller.
Full caught three passes on four targets for 67 yards and a touchdown.

It was great to see the young player stepping up against a solid defensive team like Arizona. He is developing a great rapport with quarterback Brock Osweiler and should take a ton of pressure off stud wide out DeAndre Hopkins.
Fuller is joined by Hopkins, Strong, Cecil Shorts III, Keith Mumphery and fellow rookie Braxton Miller in one of the most talented receiving groups in the entire league.
For years they struggled to get additional pass catchers on offense as they had just Andre Johnson to rely on. In 2015 they had moved on from Johnson and it looked like it was more of the same but with DeAndre as the man.
Now they all of a sudden have red zone beasts like Strong and sensational deep threats like Fuller and a jack-of-all-trades guy in Miller. They may be forced to let a talented player go at this position, but that’s a good problem to have.
