Xavier Hutchinson In a Smaller Role After Acquisition

Saturday, October 17, 2:54 AM

Houston Texans wide receiver Xavier Hutchinson has at least three catches in every game for the Texans this season and had four catches for a season-high 65 yards last week against the Titans. This week against the Jaguars, though, his role could be smaller due to the arrival of Marvin Harrison Jr. in a trade from the Cardinals. Harrison will make his debut, but he'll likely only have a limited package of plays as he ramps up with his new squad. Hutchinson had already seen his snap share dip under 50% in his last two games, and now his playing time will be squeezed even more. He is RotoBaller's No. 69 WR this week in his international matchup with the Jaguars in London, leaving him on the bench or the waiver wire in most standard-sized leagues this week. He could remain involved, but his shrinking role makes him a high-risk start.

Chris Bell A High-Risk Start in Week 8

Saturday, October 31, 3:31 AM

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Chris Bell served as the team's third receiver in Week 7 behind Malik Washington and Caleb Douglas. The rookie caught three of his four targets for 25 yards in his team's first win of the year over the Jets, while playing 48% of snaps. The rookie helped fill in while Douglas was out with an ankle injury, but has not been a steady enough producer to be a good fantasy option in the Dolphins' inconsistent passing game. Bell did have four catches for 67 yards against the Chiefs in Week 3, but he has only had a total of two catches in his three games since then. The third-round rookie has long-term potential, but for his Week 8 matchup against the Patriots, he's RotoBaller's No. 64 wide receiver, leaving him outside starting consideration in almost all formats.
