Will Fuller likely to miss Rd 1 of the playoffs

That would definitely be huge.

 

Much rather go against the 28th-ranked defense right now, with or without JJ Watt. He's a force for sure, but I wouldn't expect him to be in playoff shape after missing so much time.

This is huge. Fuller has significant impact on Watson's performance especially on deep balls:

Houston’s deep passing success dependent on Fuller?

The Texans have used an empty formation at the highest rate in the NFL this season (14.9% of offensive plays). The formation has been beneficial to Deshaun Watson, who has been effective on passes from empty formations, averaging 8.4 yards per attempt (fourth-most in the NFL) and throwing for 6 TDs (tied for second-most in the NFL). The Texans' key to keeping up with the top offenses in the AFC might lie in Will Fuller's availability. Watson has been significantly more aggressive throwing deep (20-plus air yards) with Fuller on the field during his career. With Fuller on the field, Watson has thrown deep on 16.8% of his passes and completed 43.2% of those attempts, with a 94.6 passer rating. With Fuller off the field, Watson has thrown deep on 10.7% of attempts, and he's struggled when doing so, completing 33.8% of passes with a 66.6 passer rating. Fuller played 59 of 63 offensive snaps for the Texans in his Week 15 return from a hamstring injury that also sidelined him in Weeks 8-11.
