Fuller’s presence greatly enhances a dangerous Texans offense: with both Fuller and DeAndre Hopkins on the field, Houston scores 26.3 points per game, averages 296.8 passing yards per game, and converts nearly 52 percent of its third-down attempts. Without Fuller, Houston scores 19.6 points per game, averages 158.3 passing yards per game, and converts 32.9 percent of its third-down attempts.

Houston went 8-3 when Fuller suited up, compared to 2-3 in games he missed.

Yesterday it looked like a long shot...no question this weaken’s Houston’s offense.

 

Fuller is the key to making their passing game go. Lets hope we can shut things down like normal.

Texans' Will Fuller (groin) not expected to play vs. Bills

 

NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reports Fuller is not expected to play in the wild-card game due to the lingering groin injury, per a source informed. The Texans, however, will allow the wideout up until game time before an official decision is made, Rapoport adds.

No down side to waiting vs declaring early.

I give these injury reports about as much credence as a Tweet from Luke Russert’s mom (old timers here will remember the Mario Williams thread). As I recall, Julian Edelman had a similar likelihood of playing against us and ended up with 5 catches for 90 yds or so. You still prepare for him to play.

I never wish for any player to be injured, but doesn’t sound too serious, so happy he’s not out there.  Now their down to two fast WR.  I can see White taking for the most Hopkins out of the game, but it’s the other side with Wallace potentially being out, you have to hope K Johnson with his familiarity of the Texans could help.  Even if Wallace can play, with all that pivoting, I wouldn’t want him out there more 20-25% of the time.

not accurate at all. it was common knowledge that Edelman was a go for that game by the end of the week.

The narrative all week was that Edelman was expected to play.
