Texans' Xavier Hutchinson: Scores TD in high-scoring win
Hutchinson caught three of five targets for 29 yards and a touchdown and also added a 28-yard kick return during Sunday's 44-22 win against the Chargers.
Hutchinson finished tied with Kayshon Boutte for second on the team in targets behind fellow wideout Tank Dell (nine). Hutchinson was able to reach paydirt for the second straight contest, reeling in a 17-yard touchdown pass from C.J. Stroud for the team's first score of the day in the first quarter. There are many mouths to feed in Houston's passing attack, so Hutchinson will remain a volatile fantasy option ahead of the team's Week 10 matchup with the Browns.

Texans' Xavier Hutchinson: Sees six targets in Week 7 loss
Hutchinson caught three of six targets for 17 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-21 overtime loss to the Giants. He added 12 rushing yards on two attempts.
On a day C.J. Stroud targeted nine different players, Hutchinson tied Dalton Schultz for the team lead with six targets. Nico Collins led the wideout group with 24 routes, but Hutchinson tied Jaylin Noel (toe) for second at the position with 15 routes. In a receiver room that is running six deep on game days, none of these Houston wide receivers are reliably playable in fantasy outside of Collins.

Texans' Xavier Hutchinson: Serves as returner vs. Jacksonville
Hutchinson caught two of three passes for 10 yards and returned two kickoffs for 52 yards during the Texans' 34-31 win over the Jaguars on Sunday in London.
Hutchinson's 34 offensive snaps were more than what he logged in each of the Texans' three games prior to Week 6, although he logged season lows in catches, receiving yards and targets. He was used as a kick returner for the first time since Week 18 of the 2024 season. That could be Hutchinson's primary role moving forward, seeing as Houston acquired Marvin Harrison from Arizona along with the impending return of Tank Dell (knee) from injured reserve. The Texans will head back home for Week 7 to host the Giants on Oct. 25.

Texans' Xavier Hutchinson: Four catches in win
Hutchinson caught four of five targets for 65 yards in Sunday's 26-3 win over the Titans.
Hutchinson led the team in receiving yards while his four catches were tied for second with running back Woody Marks. The wide receiver has now reeled in 16 of 31 targets for 231 yards over the first five games of the season. The Texans announced that they traded for wide receiver Marvin Harrison on Sunday, and the addition of Harrison will definitely lower Hutchinson's upside as a fantasy asset moving forward.

Texans' Xavier Hutchinson: Three catches against Dallas
Hutchinson caught three of five targets for 46 yards in Sunday's 34-30 loss to the Cowboys.
With Nico Collins (hamstring) back from a two-game absence, Hutchinson saw his snaps cut pretty significantly, as he played just 17 of 55 offensive snaps. He still saw five targets, but Hutchinson appears to be the biggest loser at wide receiver with Collins back in action. He can be left on waivers in most fantasy formats.

Texans' Xavier Hutchinson: In line for elevated role again
Hutchinson is in line to serve as the Texans' No. 1 receiver for the second consecutive game in Sunday's Week 3 matchup against the Colts due to Nico Collins (hamstring) being ruled inactive for the contest.
Hutchinson was in the same slotting for the Week 2 loss to the Bengals, a game in which he saw nine targets on 51 routes run but only converted three into catches. Hutchinson ostensibly has a more palatable matchup Sunday, as the Colts have surrendered an elevated 72.7 percent catch rate and 17.9 yards per reception to wide receivers, along with three touchdowns, over the first two games.

Texans' Xavier Hutchinson: Only three catches on nine looks Week 2
Hutchinson caught three passes on nine targets for 37 yards during the Texans' 20-6 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.
Hutchinson operated in an elevated role on offense Sunday due to the absence of Nico Collins (hamstring). Hutchinson's 65 offensive snaps and nine targets were most among all Texans wide receivers, though he ended up catching only three passes from C.J. Stroud, with tight end Dalton Schultz leading Houston's pass catchers with a 12-140-0 line (on 14 targets). Hutchinson has six catches for on 15 targets for 69 yards through two regular-season games, and he would be the WR1 against the Colts in Week 3 if Collins is not cleared to return.

Texans' Xavier Hutchinson: Stepping up in Collins' absence
Hutchinson will have a key role for the Texans in the absence of Nico Collins (hamstring) this Sunday against Cincinnati, Aaron Wilson of SportsTalk790AM reports.
In the season opener, Hutchinson finished second among the team's wide receivers in route share (69 percent) and target share (16.2 percent), catching three of six targets for 32 yards. He's struggled to draw targets over the years even when he gets considerable playing time, but this could be somewhat different because the team's WR depth looks thinner than in past years. Kayshon Boutte, Jaylin Noel and Jared Wayne also figure to have roles against the Bengals on Sunday.

Texans' Xavier Hutchinson: Hauls in three passes Week 1
Hutchinson caught three passes (on six targets) for 32 yards during the Texans' 36-31 loss to the Bills on Sunday.
Hutchinson finished third among Texans pass catchers in both targets and receptions, including a 20-yard catch late in the fourth quarter. His 44 snaps on offense were second-most among wide receivers behind Nico Collins (57), suggesting that Hutchinson is the Texans' WR2 ahead of Kayshoun Boutte (36 snaps) and Jaylin Noel (24 snaps) in the absence of Jayden Higgins (knee, IR). The Texans will stay at home for Week 2 against the Bengals on Sept. 20.
