Houston Texans’ first-round pick Will Fuller broke out against the New Orleans Saints in catching four balls for 73 yards and a touchdown. He led Texans receivers in catches and targets (eight).
2016 fantasy football sleepers: Will Fuller value rising after big Week 2
Fuller scored the lone touchdown and had 73 yards in the Texans’ 16-9 win over the Saints. We look at the fantasy implications.

After two solid performances this preseason, Fuller has been projected as the receiver opposite star DeAndre Hopkins. Hopkins will be the center of most defensive game plans to stop the Texans, which should open up favorable 1-on-1 opportunities for Fuller. The former Notre Dame standout scored 29 touchdowns in his last two seasons at Notre Dame, so there is breakout potential for the rookie.
Fantasy Spin: Fuller led the team in targets in week two, but we know during the regular season DeAndre Hopkins will be leading that category most games. If Brock Osweiler takes a huge step in Bill O’Brien’s system, Fuller may be able to take advantage of favorable matchups and could be a sleeper in 2016.
