William Fuller V Week 2 Outlook -

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 17th 2020, 9:22am EDT

We knew Fuller would be the Texans target leader in Week 1, but he accounted for 45 percent of wide receiver targets, 62 percent of their receptions, 69 percent of their yards, and 51 percent of their air yards. That's unsustainable, but it's good to know how big of a role he has in a DeAndre Hopkins-less Texans offense. The next hurdle standing in his way is the Ravens defense that just held Odell Beckham to three catches for 22 yards on 10 targets. The cornerback duo of Marcus Peters and Marlon Humphrey might be the best in the league, and Fuller doesn't go into the slot very often. That means he's stuck against two cornerbacks that have combined to allow 102-of-176 passing for 1,113 yards and eight touchdowns since the start of 2019. That amounts to just 6.32 yards per target. You can't bench Fuller with the target/air yards share he had, but you need to lower your expectations into WR3 territory.
