1. Will Fuller, WR

This kid is going to be something special. In fact, after two games he already is. After a 107 yard outing against the Bears in Week 1, Fuller and his speed were on display yet again against the Chiefs.

The first round pick from Notre Dame got deep against the Chiefs and hauled in a 53 yard pass en route to his second 100-plus yard game in just his second NFL game ever.

He finished the day with four receptions for 104 yards. That gives him a total of nine catches for 211 yards and a touchdown in two games as a Texan. His yard per reception average is 23.4 yards per catch.

It’s probably safe to say that the Texans got what they were looking for when they selected Fuller 21st overall this past draft.

He’s added a new deep threat element to this offense. They may finally start to see as many fireworks on offense as they do on defense.
