WR. Houston Texans. WILL FULLER V. A+. Will Fuller has been the best looking rookie wide receiver this season. Really it isn’t even close. He now has 19 receptions for 323 yards and two touchdowns. That projects to 76 receptions for 1,292 yards and eight touchdowns. That’s borderline elite production, and he is doing this as a rookie. On Sunday he was spectacular as he hauled in seven receptions for 81 yards and a touchdown. He also provided what proved to be the winning score when coach Bill O’Brien decided the team needed a spark in the return game. He took his lone punt return back 67-yards for the go ahead score. This kid is special.

Houston Texans. DEANDRE HOPKINS. D. DeAndre Hopkins turned in his least productive game of the season as he caught just one pass for four yards. In his defense, such an outing is an incredible rarity for the supremely talented Hopkins. He usually finds a way to come down with amazing catches despite the coverage, but Sunday was not his day. What keeps his day from being a total loss was the respect he demanded even on a bad day. He draws so much attention and last season no one else really could step up and make defenses pay. This year if d-coordinators keep sending so much help to Nuk’s side, Will Fuller will keep making them pay.. WR
