Darren Fells 2020 Outlook: Veteran Tight End Relying On Red-Zone Usage As TE2
5 years agoAfter going for career highs in targets (48), receptions (34), receiving yards (341) and touchdowns (seven) in his first year in Houston, the 34-year-old Darren Fells inked a two-year, $7 million extension in the offseason. He emerged as a strong red-zone weapon for the Texans late last year, and Houston will be looking for players to step up in the passing game in 2020 after DeAndre Hopkins was shipped out of town. Fells was quietly a top-15 fantasy tight end last season. He'll remain a red-zone weapon, but a healthy Jordan Thomas and Jordan Akins could also be involved and split repetitions with the veteran Fells. With most of his value tied to scoring touchdowns, consider Fells more of a low-end, touchdown-dependent TE2 target in deeper leagues.
