Teagan Quitoriano Fantasy

Houston Texans rookie tight end Teagan Quitoriano (knee, quadriceps) isn't taking part in Thursday's practice after suffering a hyperextended right knee in the Week 16 win over the Tennessee Titans. He's also dealing with a bruised quadriceps, but no structural damage was found in his knee after undergoing tests earlier this week. The 22-year-old has been one of the bright spots for the Texans in 2022, but he remains a blocking specialist in Houston's offense and shouldn't be considered a fantasy option heading into next season. He's unlikely to play in Week 17 against the Jacksonville Jaguars and might have played the final game of his rookie season with just two games remaining in 2022.

Houston Texans rookie tight end Teagan Quitoriano (knee) avoided structural damage to his knee when he was injured in the Week 16 win over the Tennessee Titans. He's dealing with a hyperextended knee and a bruised quadriceps after undergoing an MRI exam, according to league sources. Quitoriano is considered day-to-day heading into Week 17 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, but with only two games remaining, the team could consider placing him on Injured Reserve for the second time this year. The fifth-rounder has proved to be a powerful blocker in his first NFL season, but he's also emerging as a complete tight end who is capable of contributing in the passing game. Quitoriano has four catches for 30 yards and two touchdowns on 10 targets in eight games in 2022.

Houston Texans rookie tight end Teagan Quitoriano could have a bigger role moving forward after making his NFL debut in the Week 9 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, when he caught his only target for a two-yard touchdown on 30 percent of the offensive snaps. However, the 22-year-old fifth-round pick will most likely serve more in a blocking than pass-catching role, so fantasy managers should hold off on running to the waiver wire and picking him up, even in deep leagues. The Texans have a logjam at the position with Brevin Jordan, O.J. Howard and Jordan Akins, who are all better pass-catching options than Quitoriano.
