24-Year-Old Wide ReceiverWR
Houston Texans
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Hutchinson began to see regular targets beginning in Week 14 as a rookie. The receiver was pressed into a bigger role when the Texans were dealing with wide receiver injuries. Despite averaging three targets per game averaged 1.2 receptions for 9.4 yards. Hutchinson didn’t show great chemistry with C.J. Stroud, which could hurt his chances at seeing a prominent role in 2024. With the top-three wide receiver roles being held by high-level players, Hutchinson may struggle to see playing time unless teammates miss time. Read Past Outlooks

Hutchinson did not catch his lone target in Sunday's 19-13 win over the Bears.
ANALYSIS
Hutchinson played just nine snaps, which was the same amount as veteran Robert Woods, and the team's top three wideouts have dominated the targets and playing time through two games. Hutchinson has one catch on two targets for three yards thus far in 2024.

NFL Reactions: Breaking Down the Stefon Diggs Trade for Houston and Buffalo

Jerry Donabedian tries to figure out how the Stefon Diggs trade will impact two of the league's more fantasy-friendly offenses.
2023 Fantasy Outlook
After drafting quarterback C.J. Stroud with the second overall pick in the 2023 draft, the Texans subsequently selected a pair of wideouts. Nathaniel Dell went in the third round followed by Hutchinson three rounds later. Hutchinson showed improvement each year Iowa State and caught 107 passes for 1,171 receiving yards while being targeted a nation-high 161 times in 2022. At 6-3, Hutchinson has good size, but he has merely average speed (4.53 40) and ball skills, which contributed to his draft-day slide. There is, however, something for coaches to work with, and Hutchinson's size makes him a red-zone fit. He could have opportunities in Houston, which lacks proven high-end talent, but he'll also have a rookie quarterback in C.J. Stroud running the offense.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could see extra targets Saturday
WRHouston Texans
January 4, 2024
Hutchinson could see extra snaps and targets in Saturday night's game against the Colts with Noah Brown ruled out for the game with a back injury, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Hutchinson has had a quiet rookie season after being selected in the sixth round in April's draft, recording just seven receptions for 84 yards on 15 targets and adding 49 rushing yards on five attempts. However, all but one of those receptions and nine of his receiving yards have come in the last five games, and that recent pattern could expand in Saturday's crucial win-and-in scenario with Brown ruled out and fellow wideout Robert Woods also listed as questionable with a hip injury.
