The Texans waived Powell on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
After being drafted by Kansas City in the fifth round of the 2021 NFL Draft, Powell has had a hard time finding opportunities in the league, as he's played in only three regular-season games (all in 2022). The Clemson product won't make Houston's initial 53-man roster despite shining in his lone preseason contest with the club, catching six of seven targets for 63 yards Saturday versus Detroit.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2021
A former fifth-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, Powell has appeared in just three games so far in his career. In the three games he played in last season, the 25-year-old wideout played a total of three offensive snaps and failed to earn a target. Buried on the depth chart and bouncing between the team's practice squad and active roster, Powell has an uphill battle to a secure and consistent roster spot ahead of the 2023 campaign.
