Coaching Matters: 2021 Houston Texans Coaching Staff Preview

Eli Grabanski previews the 2021 Houston Texans' coaching staff in search of buy-lows, fantasy football sleepers, and risers based on play-calling and historical data.

After every NFL season, NFL teams take the time to evaluate not only the players but also the coaching staff and front office as well. While many teams choose to retain the same head coach, offensive coordinator, and defensive coordinator, a few other teams opt to go in a new direction with their coaching staff.

One team that made some major changes to their coaching staff was the Houston Texans. While offensive coordinator Tim Kelly will remain in the same role for 2021, the Texans hired David Culley to be the new head coach and brought in former NFL head coach Lovie Smith to be the new defensive coordinator.

This article will look at the potential impact this coaching staff will have on the players and try to pinpoint the Texans players' fantasy values in it.

Be sure to check all of our fantasy football rankings for 2025:

 

The Baseline

To get a better understanding of the value the Texans coaches help bring to this team, we can look at the NFL league averages in each of the past two years in a variety of statistical categories and then compare them to the averages achieved by the Texans' coaches. Here are 'The Baseline' NFL league averages over the past couple of years:

Previous Coaching Staff

In order to get an understanding of how the Houston Texans fantasy players may be impacted this year, we also need to look at some of the key members of the Houston Texans previous coaching staff: former head coach Bill O'Brien, former interim head coach Romeo Crennel, and former defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver. By doing this, we will have a better understanding of where the new regime is starting from and where the primary changes will occur.

2021 Offense

2021 Head Coach: David Culley

The Houston Texans surprised many fans by going with the 65-year-old David Culley as the next head coach of the franchise over coaching candidates like Eric Bieniemy, Brian Daboll, or Matt Eberflus. Culley has been coaching a long time in various roles, but this will be his first time as a head coach at any level. While he's expected to leave the offensive play-calling duties to offensive coordinator Tim Kelly, let's take a look at what Culley's offense was like the only time he was an offensive coordinator - all the way back in 1989 and 1990 for the Texas El-Paso Miners (college football).

QB Impact

David Culley Takeaways & Expectations

While it was over 30 years ago and at the college level, there are a couple of things we notice when looking at David Culley's profile. Firstly, we can see that Culley utilized his running backs pretty frequently both on the ground and through the air. If he sticks to his previous history, we can expect the running back trio of Phillip Lindsay, David Johnson, and Mark Ingram II to get a good amount of work.

Secondly, we see that Culley barely utilized the tight end position in his time as the offensive coordinator with the Texas El-Paso Miners, strongly preferring to throw to his wide receivers or running backs. Based on the Texans roster it would make a lot of sense for them to follow a similar usage plan, but to truly get a good idea of how the Texans plan on utilizing each position we should look at Tim Kelly's coaching history as an offensive coordinator - since Kelly will be the one calling the plays.

2021 Offensive Coordinator: Tim Kelly

QB Impact

Year Games Team Pass Att. Team Pass Yds. Team Pass TDs QB Carries QB Rush Yds. QB Rush TDs
2019 Texans 16 33.38 255.19 1.69 5.44 28.25 0.5

Tim Kelly Takeaways & Expectations

Tim Kelly has spent the last two seasons as the Houston Texans offensive coordinator, largely working with former Texans head coach Bill O'Brien's playbook. The Texans were impressed with Kelly's work so much over these past couple of seasons that they decided he was the one coordinator that would remain on the coaching staff in 2021.

Tim Kelly has gotten some great production out of the quarterback position despite attempting fewer passes than the average team, with the offense averaging 302.69 passing yards and 2.06 passing touchdowns per game during the 2020 NFL season. But given the uncertainty around star quarterback Deshaun Watson's availability next season, Tim Kelly may have a tougher time getting the same passing efficiency out of a quarterback like Tyrod Taylor.

It's also important to pay attention to the amount of rushing work a quarterback receives since it can be a cheat code in the fantasy football world. Tim Kelly has worked with a strong rushing quarterback in Deshaun Watson the last two years and it has led to Kelly's QB room averaging 5.53 carries, 28 rushing yards, and 0.34 rushing touchdowns per game.

Even if Deshaun Watson ends up missing time this season, Kelly will let Tyrod Taylor run the ball at a similar rate since Tyrod has been effective as a runner as well - averaging 6.43 carries, 35.8 rushing yards, and 0.32 rushing touchdowns per game during his three years in Buffalo as the starting quarterback (2015-2017). From a fantasy perspective, if Watson plays all 17 games he should be a strong QB1 in Kelly's system. If Watson misses time, the team's offensive production will drop off a lot, but Kelly's system should put Tyrod Taylor in the streaming mix each week.

Examining Tim Kelly's running back room, it's been a little disappointing. Over the course of his 32 game career, his running backs have averaged just 0.47 rushing touchdowns per game, one of the lowest marks among active NFL play-callers. In addition, his running back room has averaged just 18.56 carries per game, which is also near the bottom among active NFL play-callers.

So Tim Kelly's running back room doesn't get a ton of carries. But for fantasy purposes, that's fine as long as he primarily takes a bell-cow approach in featuring one back.

Kelly has tended to utilize one of his backs more than the others with his lead back on the season receiving over 58% of the season running back carries in both of his years as an offensive coordinator. So it is possible for one of his backs to be fantasy relevant at the very least.

The final aspect we should look at is Kelly's historical usage of running backs in the passing game. Kelly has been below average in providing opportunities for his running backs in the passing game thus far in his career, with the group receiving just 4.94 targets in 2019 and 5.56 targets in 2020. A lack of usage in the passing game lowers the ceiling of the Texans running backs, particularly in PPR formats.

Overall, from a fantasy perspective, the ceiling of a Tim Kelly running back is a middle of the pack RB2 with a much lower floor if he opts to take a committee approach - keep this in mind when drafting David Johnson, Phillip Lindsay, or Mark Ingram in your 2021 fantasy league.

While there are a lot of questions about who will be throwing to the Texans wide receivers in 2021, the one thing we can be more certain on is how many targets Tim Kelly has historically provided his receivers. Tim Kelly's wide receiver room has been slightly above average in targets per game in his first two years as an offensive coordinator, with 20.75 targets per game in 2019 and 20.94 targets per game in 2020.

Based on Kelly's usage of wide receivers thus far, you should still feel comfortable investing in the team's number one wide receiver Brandin Cooks even if Tyrod Taylor is the starter. And if Deshaun Watson is the starter, there should be room for another quality fantasy wide receiver on the team in Kelly's system.

Finally looking at the tight end position, the number of targets was about the same both years that Tim Kelly was the offensive coordinator with 6.63 targets per game in 2019 and 6.25 targets per game in 2020. This was slightly below the league averages of 6.88 targets (2019) and 7.03 targets (2020) in both years.

These below-average usage totals are unlikely to change in 2021 given the Houston Texans current roster. From a fantasy perspective, do not expect Jordan AkinsRyan Izzo, or Brevin Jordan to be anything more than streamers in Kelly's offense.

Fantasy Relevant Players: Deshaun Watson, Tyrod Taylor, Davis Mills, Nico Collins, David Johnson, Phillip Lindsay, Mark Ingram II, Buddy Howell, Brandin Cooks, Randall Cobb, Keke Coutee, Andre Roberts, Ryan Izzo, Brevin Jordan, and Jordan Akins

 

2021 Defense

2021 Defensive Coordinator: Lovie Smith

Year Games Points Allowed Pass Yds Given Up Run Yds Given Up Plays Against Yds/Play Turnovers Forced
2014 Buccaneers 16 25.63 255.25 113.69 66.69 5.53 1.56
2015 Buccaneers 16 26.06 240 100.38 65.31 5.21 1.44
Smith's Career Averages (DC/HC) 224 20.37 217.21 107 63.85 5.08 2.07

Lovie Smith is a very experienced defensive mind, spending time in the NFL as the St. Louis Rams defensive coordinator (2001-2003), Chicago Bears head coach (2004-2012), and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach (2014-2015). Having said that, he's been out of the NFL for over five years and struggled during his time as the head coach at the University of Illinois, finishing with a 17-39 record.

In addition, his defense in the last couple of years in the NFL with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers gave up a lot of points, so there's a strong possibility that the game has passed him by. Given the Houston Texans have lost some key playmakers on the defensive side of the ball as well such as J.J. Watt, the Houston Texans D/ST are not a great draft target in fantasy football leagues.

 

Other Notable Assistants

Special Teams Coordinator: Frank Ross - Frank Ross is a former Indianapolis Colts assistant special teams coach (2018-2020).
