THINGS OF NOTE:
- Each week, it seems to become more and more a competition for targets within the two positional groups on the Texans' offense. The WRs collectively managed 14 total targets this week while the TEs collectively managed 12. What's interesting to note that this is also the first week since the Patriots game that the Texans have had all three of their TEs dressed, and all three saw usage (some of them heavier than others).
- In terms of DeAndre Hopkins' season, it's obviously been not as good as last year's monster performance. Just how much have things changed? Well, I went through the first eight games of this season and compared them to eight games of last season to see just how much the drop-off has been:
-
Year Targets Receptions Yards Yards Per Reception Touchdowns Targets/Receptions Percentage: 2015 112 66 870 12.7 6 58% 2016 76 40 434 10.9 3 52%
These numbers are tilted somewhat by the addition of Will Fuller and the offense actually having other competent targets to go to this year, but it's still a massive decrease in terms of Hopkins' overall production and the kind of opportunities he is getting in this offense.
- Season-high snap counts this week for Jay Prosch and Jonathan Grimes. Grimes in particular only saw two carries and no targets in the passing game, which might mean that he could be a designated blocker in pass protection.
- Season-high snap count numbers for A.J. Bouye as well, who just continues to be something of a breakout star at corner this season.
What say you about this week's numbers? Anything stand out from the Detroit game? Anything from the first eight games stand out to you? Let us know in the comments below.
