Houston Texans wide receivers DeAndre Hopkins and Andre Johnson both had trouble getting much going in Sunday's game. The team's passing game overall struggled in the Texans' 20-17 overtime loss to the Dallas Cowboys.
DeAndre Hopkins, Andre Johnson struggle in fantasy Sunday
It was a fairly quiet day for the top two Houston receivers. We break down the fantasy implications.


Hopkins had six catches for 63 yards, while Johnson had five for 58. The yardage came on six targets for Hopkins, eight for Johnson. No other pass-catcher for Houston had more than two catches or 15 yards in the game.
Fantasy impact: This was a frustrating outcome for the Texans receivers. Hopkins had been putting up numbers all season, while Johnson has been hunting for his first truly big game. But neither was able to put much together in Sunday’s game.
It's hard to put much of the blame on the receivers, with quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick putting up awful numbers for much of the game, while running back Arian Foster was able to run through the Dallas defense basically at will. Still, both Hopkins and Johnson are going to need to put up better numbers going forward if they still want to be every-week starters.
