Xavier Hutchinson News
Friday, August 21, 8:45 AM
Houston Texans wide receiver Xavier Hutchinson didn't give fantasy managers much in Thursday's box score, catching one of two targets for minus-1 yard in a 22-20 loss to Las Vegas. Both looks came from C.J. Stroud on Houston's opening drive. The bigger story is what happened before the game. Jayden Higgins tore his ACL in Tuesday's joint practice and is out for the season, leaving a lot more work up for grabs behind Nico Collins. Hutchinson has been here before. He started six games last year and finished with 35 catches for 428 yards and three touchdowns, including a five-catch, 69-yard, one-score game against San Francisco when Houston was short-handed at receiver. Jaylin Noel and Tank Dell are still part of this, so Hutchinson hasn't suddenly become the No. 2. But the path is cleaner now, and getting two early looks from Stroud is at least worth noting. He's back on the deep-league radar after being an easy name to ignore a week ago.

Caleb Douglas News
Saturday, August 22, 6:52 PM
Miami Dolphins rookie wide receiver Caleb Douglas did not see any game action in the Dolphins' 26-3 preseason loss to the New York Giants. With no reported injuries or soreness, Douglas likely sat due to his standing in the Dolphins' starting offense. The third-round pick has spent most of training camp and the preseason with the first-team offense, was listed as a starter on the unofficial depth chart, and is now too important to risk in a preseason game. Miami's receiver room remains lackluster, with Malik Washington and third-round pick Chris Bell expected to operate alongside Douglas. However, it appears the former Texas Tech receiver is an integral piece of this offense and should be considered in the late rounds of fantasy drafts.
