Xavier Hutchinson: Xavier Hutchinson Still Playing Ahead of Texans Rookies

Houston Texans wide receiver Xavier Hutchinson is still getting plenty of playing time, but his team's offensive struggles have kept him from emerging as a viable deep sleeper. In his third year from Iowa State, he is playing more snaps than fellow former Cyclones Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel, but he hasn't made much of an impact. He played 62% of snaps in Week 3 against the Jaguars and had three catches on three targets for 16 yards. He has multiple catches in each game this season, but he has only a total of seven catches for 75 yards on the year. Hutchinson has the potential to be a deep-league bye-week filler if he stays so involved and the Texans' passing game can get going. So far, they've struggled under C.J. Stroud and offensive coordinator Nick Caley, but they're in a good bounce-back spot this week against the Titans. Even in that favorable matchup, though, Hutchinson is only the WR92 in RotoBaller's rankings.
