2024 Fantasy Outlook
Hutchinson began to see regular targets beginning in Week 14 as a rookie. The receiver was pressed into a bigger role when the Texans were dealing with wide receiver injuries. Despite averaging three targets per game averaged 1.2 receptions for 9.4 yards. Hutchinson didn’t show great chemistry with C.J. Stroud, which could hurt his chances at seeing a prominent role in 2024. With the top-three wide receiver roles being held by high-level players, Hutchinson may struggle to see playing time unless teammates miss time. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Three targets in loss
Hutchinson did not catch any of his three targets in Thursday's 21-13 loss to the Jets.
ANALYSIS
Houston's passing attack was expected to be challenged with both Nico Collins (hamstring) and Stefon Diggs (knee) unavailable, which made the possibility of Hutchinson or John Metchie having a productive game. However, the offensive line put an end to any such notion. Quarterback C.J. Stroud was was sacked eight times, hit on another 11 attempts and was running for his life all game. Beyond Tank Dell's 126 yards, there was little else happening for receivers. Hutchinson, who led the wideouts with 59 snaps, and Metchie (two targets, no catches) were shut out in the loss.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
After drafting quarterback C.J. Stroud with the second overall pick in the 2023 draft, the Texans subsequently selected a pair of wideouts. Nathaniel Dell went in the third round followed by Hutchinson three rounds later. Hutchinson showed improvement each year Iowa State and caught 107 passes for 1,171 receiving yards while being targeted a nation-high 161 times in 2022. At 6-3, Hutchinson has good size, but he has merely average speed (4.53 40) and ball skills, which contributed to his draft-day slide. There is, however, something for coaches to work with, and Hutchinson's size makes him a red-zone fit. He could have opportunities in Houston, which lacks proven high-end talent, but he'll also have a rookie quarterback in C.J. Stroud running the offense.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Bigger role in Week 4?
With Tank Dell sidelined for Sunday's game against Jacksonville due to a chest injury, Hutchinson could see a larger snap count with the first-team offense in three- or four-wideout sets.
ANALYSIS
Hutchinson and veteran Robert Woods have seen equal time as the Texans' No. 4 wideout this season behind Nico Collins, Stefon Diggs and Dell. Hutchinson has been targeted just once in each of the first three games of the regular season, but he should have more opportunities Sunday due to Dell not suiting up.
