Houston Texans deep threat Will Fuller was on fire when rookie quarterback Deshaun Watson ran the offense. Things changed dramatically when backup QB Tom Savage took over under center in Week 9. Fuller was targeted another season-high eight times in the loss to the Indianapolis Colts, but he finished the contest with just two catches for 32 yards. Savage struggled to make accurate deep throws that Fuller could haul in.

It will be hard for Fuller and Savage to build chemistry Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams defense has kept opposing wideouts in check this season. They have only allowed four touchdowns to opposing WR this season, a tie for second fewest in the league.
Fantasy impact: Fuller is going to be a letdown in fantasy as long as Savage is under center. It is unfortunate considering how explosive he was with Watson. Savage does not have the arm to make the type of passes that fit Fuller, and he heavily favors DeAndre Hopkins in the passing game. Fuller is a boom or bust WR with not a lot of upside this week.
