Houston Texans Early August Scouting Report
David Trojanowsky
8/16/2023
Looking for a sure-fire sleeper for you fantasy draft? WR Tank Dell may be your guy. Sure, he is a rookie and only weighs 165, but he’s real fast…he has the kind of speed that kills.
Another sleeper may be the Houston D. Yes, they are missing that big guy in the DL. That is probably the weak link in this D, but they are playing team ball.
QB play so far in camp has been predictable. QB CJ Stroud was hassled as a starter because the OL again played putrid. QB Davis Mills should play a lot this year. He is getting better.
The OL is dealing with injuries and a rookie OC. So far, the best description for the OL is putrid. Without a very good OL the Texans will nosedive from the start.
RB Dameon Pierce is your guy. After that who knows.
WR Tank Dell is the only receiver who has separation and big-time speed. There are numerous other WRs but so far no one has separated themselves from the pack. That said, there will be TD passes and someone will have to catch them. WR Nico Collins is the WR1, though.
This has been what I’ve seen in camp, so far.
End.

"First year as a FF Mastermind Premium Subscriber and first year winning our league championship. Coincidence??? I don't think so! Thanks Mike!"
-- Mike St. Clair
"After being cheap for a couple seasons - and having the results to show for it - I subscribed again last year and promptly won my league. You guys do an excellent job. I love the Tiering approach - it really makes it easier to figure out the best way to make good value picks."
-- Brian Hammond
"There are only 3 sites I go to for my info: ESPN, NFL.com, and FFMastermind. Keep up the good work."
-- Paul B.
"You already know the quality of the information available on this site, but Mike also responds immediately to customer issues. I did something to mess up my log in to the site and was unable to access it. One call to FFMastermind (Mike personally handled the issue) and things were cleared up and I was back in immediately."
