O.J. Howard Fantasy

Houston Texans tight end O.J. Howard was a popular waiver wire add last week after he caught two touchdowns in the opener, but his performance in Week 2 against the Broncos might lead to him returning to those same wires. The Texans targeted tight ends on 10 of their 37 pass attempts, but just one of those targets went to Howard. Pharaoh Brown and Brevin Jordan had five and four targets, respectively, while Howard finished with just one reception for seven yards. It looks like Week 1 might have just been an anomaly.

Houston Texans tight end O.J. Howard caught a pair of touchdowns last week against the Colts, but he was also only targeted on those two plays the entire game. Heading into Week 2 against the Broncos, Howard is an enticing fantasy option, but the lack of usage outside of those touchdowns last week is worrisome. He's a boom-or-bust TE2 play in fantasy this week.

Houston Texans tight end O.J. Howard caught a pair of touchdowns in his debut for the team. That might sound like it makes him a top waiver priority at a shallow position, but the fact that Howard was only targeted twice catching both for 38 yards makes him a risky option going forward. The Texans like to spread the ball out and not use their tight ends heavily, so while Howard getting the touchdowns is encouraging, it's too early to think that he'll be a reliable fantasy option.
