Will Fuller V 2020 Outlook: High Risk High Reward
5 years agoWill Fuller V should be in line for a bigger workload heading into 2020 after the Texans traded away superstar wide receiver, DeAndre Hopkins. He put up solid numbers in 2020 by hauling in 49 of 71 targets for 670 yards and three scores in just 11 games. The "in just 11 games" is where Fuller often gets himself in trouble. Throughout four seasons, Fuller has managed to miss a total of 22 games and has yet to play a full 16 game schedule. If he could ever play a full season, we may see some ridiculous numbers out of the former Notre Dame prospect. He has solid metrics in terms of air yards as he averaged 91 air yards per game in 2019 and accounted for 23% of the Texans' overall air yards. These ranked him in the top 12% and 23% of the league, respectively. These numbers should come as no surprise considering he had 10 catches of 20-plus yards in 2019. While Houston also brought in Brandin Cooks for 2020, he should not get in the way of the deep threat ability Fuller brings to the table. The biggest concern for Fuller will be the injuries, and he is almost certain to miss time at some point in 2020. He currently has an overall ADP of 78 and is going as the 34th wide receiver off the board. He is very much a high risk/high reward selection at this position and could provide some big games, especially for best-ball players.
