Dennis Houston

24-Year-Old Wide ReceiverWR
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Houston was a training camp star in 2022 after signing as an undrafted free agent, taking advantage of the opportunities provided by an extremely thin depth chart at wide receiver, but that success didn't carry over into the regular season. A good route runner, Houston may not have the speed or physicality to be a reliable option in the NFL, and Dallas' offseason additions at wideout will make it tough for the 24-year-old to even make the roster.

January 8, 2024
The Giants signed Houston to a reserve/future contract Monday.
ANALYSIS
Houston had an excellent senior season for Western Illinois in 2022, recording 1,015 yards and six touchdowns on 90 catches and adding 63 yards and two scores on five carries. The wideout's lone NFL regular-season action to date came in 2022, when he caught two passes on six targets for 16 yards over two games with Dallas. Houston spent most of last season on the Giants' practice squad and was elevated in Week 17 but didn't see any action. With the reserve/future contract, he'll have a chance to compete for a roster spot during training camp this summer.
