The Houston Texans badly need a receiver. It’s no secret.
The team has done their best to address the lack of dynamic passing weapons during the off-season thus far. Veteran Robert Woods was brought in after a disappointing season with the Tennessee Titans. Woods will be expected to play the Y-receiver position and is, at best, a potential No. 2 option for Houston if he’s able to fully bounce back from his 2021 ACL tear.
Former Dallas Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz was signed to a one-year $9M contract and is potentially Houston’s best signing of the offseason. Schultz has served as a safety blanket for quarterback Dak Prescott the last three seasons where he gathered at least 89 targets each year and a combined for 17 receiving touchdowns.
Both players will be expected to start immediately upon donning the Texans uniform and will be asked to play a huge hand in helping Houston’s rookie quarterback.
Still, neither profile as an ideal No. 1 option in a modern NFL passing offense.
