Xavier Hutchinson

Here's an interesting flyer. With Tank Dell sustaining a gruesome knee injury in Week 16, and with WR John Metchie sidelined by a shoulder injury. Hutchinson played 58% of the Texans' offensive snaps Saturday against the Chiefs. The second-year man from Iowa State is a rangy 6-3 receiver who's logged only 17 catches over 30 career games, But if Metchie isn't able to return this week, Hutchinson could become a key contributor to a Houston passing game that has a favorable Week 17 matchup against Baltimore. The Ravens have allowed the most fantasy points to WRs this season.

Xavier Hutchinson caught two of his four targets for 21 yards in the Texans' 31-2 loss to the Ravens in Week 17.

Fantasy Impact

Hutchinson continues a quiet stretch as part of the Houston passing attack, recording two receptions or less in each of his 15 games. The wideout cannot be trusted by fantasy managers in lineups ahead of a Week 17 contest against the Tennessee Titans.
