Carolina Panthers April 25, 2013The Huddle The Houston Texans selected Clemson WR DeAndre Hopkins with the 27th overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft. Huddle Up: In their search for a complement to WR Andre Johnson, Houston pounced on Hopkins, the second wideout taken in the first round.

April 25, 2013FFToolbox.com The Texans finally got serious Thursday about finding a No. 2 wide receiver. Clemson wideout DeAndre Hopkins was the pick by Houston with the No. 27 pick. It's the first time that the Texans have selected a wide receiver before the third round since 2003. That year, they took Andre Johnson third overall. FANTASY ANALYSIS: It's an obviously overdue move. Hopkins doesn't have the eye-popping athleticism of some of the other WRs in this class, but he is a safe, solid choice. He is a fine route-runner with very dependable hands. Will he be a big-time producer in 2013? Probably not. Is he going to ...

If they [...]
Houston Texans April 25, 2013The Huddle Houston Texans WR Andre Johnson said he would like to play five more seasons before his career is over. Huddle Up: Johnson, who will be 32 when the season kicks off, looked to be running a career fade pattern after missing a combined 12 games over the the 2010 and 2011 seasons and recording 119 catches for 1,708 yards, but he nearly matched those totals in 2012 alone, hauling in 112 passes for a career-high 1,598 yards. He most certainly could use a more formidable running mate on the other side, but Johnson again figures to ranks among the top 10 fantasy wideouts this coming season barring a...

Behind the Steel Curtain The Houston Texans are a very strong team, but they have a few holes lurking in their roster. Offense Their main threats are Arian Foster and Andre Johnson: these guys are among the best in the league at their position. Complement this with a competent QB in Matt Schaub, and a great O-Line featuring Pro Bowlers Duane Brown, Wade Smith, and Chris Myers on the left, and some combination of Brandon Brooks, Ben Jones, Derek Newton, and Ryan Harris rotating in on the right. It looks like Newton is penciled in as the starter at RT, but he has been inconsistent. While RT might be a good targe...

Battle Red Blog Houston Texans News Dancing with ‘Dre Andre Johnson took questions while hosting a youth clinic with Johnathan Joseph - the questions centered mostly on the Ravens. Jacoby Jones and Ed Reed's return to Baltimore, specifically. Of Jones, Andre went to visit the former Texans receiver in Los Angeles while he was practicing for Dancing with the Stars (I can honestly say I have no idea how Jones is doing). Johnson, when asked if he would do Dancing with the Stars, "No, that's not for me". Which to me sounds more like "Are you kidding me? Dancing with the Start? That's a good one." The...

Houston Texans April 21, 2013NFL Blog | Houston Chronicle The last time the Texans drafted a receiver in the first round was 2003 when they selected Andre Johnson.
