News

  • Returns to action

    Hutchinson caught his lone target for 13 yards in Sunday's 20-12 win over the Dolphins in Week 15.

    Analysis: Hutchinson was back in action after missing one game due to a shoulder injury. He was on the field for just eight offensive snaps and has slipped behind John Metchie (21 snaps) and Robert Woods (24 snaps) on the depth chart.

  • Practicing fully

    Hutchinson (shoulder) practiced in full Wednesday.

    Analysis: Hutchinson missed Week 13 with the injury, but Houston is now coming off its bye week, and he appears ready to play Sunday against the Dolphins. With Nico Collins back healthy alongside Tank Dell, Hutchinson will vie for wideout snaps with John Metchie and Robert Woods.

  • Not playing Week 13

    Hutchinson (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Texans.

    Analysis: Hutchinson will miss his first game of the season after he was a limited participant in practice throughout the week due to the shoulder injury. With Hutchinson donning street clothes Week 13, Robert Woods and Jared Wayne will serve as the Texans' depth receivers behind the starting wideout trio of Nico Collins, Tank Dell and John Metchie.

  • Questionable due to shoulder injury

    Hutchinson (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Hutchinson's availability is in question following a trio of limited practices. He failed to capitalize while seeing added playing time during Nico Collins' five-game absence due to a hamstring injury earlier this season, as Hutchinson has just 70 receiving yards through 12 games. Additionally, since Collins' return, Hutchinson has fallen behind John Metchie in terms of snaps and targets. Even if Hutchinson suits up, he isn't expected to play a prominent role in a Houston receiving corps led by…read more

  • Limited by shoulder injury

    Hutchinson was a limited participant in practice Wednesday due to a shoulder injury.

    Analysis: Hutchison is facing injury-related practice limitations for the first time all season. The second-year wideout didn't do much with his additional playing time while Nico Collins and Stefon Diggs (knee) both were absent, and with Collins back in action the past two weeks, it's been Hutchinson as the odd man out while John Metchie has settled in as the No. 3 receiver. Hutchinson played just eight snaps on offense in a 32-27 loss to the Titans on Sunday, so there won't be much change to Houston's…read more

  • Severe drop in playing time

    Hutchinson did not secure his lone target and played eight snaps in Sunday's 32-27 loss to the Titans in Week 12.

    Analysis: Hutchinson's time on the field took a hit when Nico Collins returned last week, and his usage declined further in Collins' second game back. The eight snaps were a season low for Hutchinson, who has just seven catches on 18 targets for 70 yards.

  • Untargeted in win

    Hutchinson was not targeted while playing 28 snaps in Monday's 34-10 win over the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Nico Collins' return to duty had its most significant impact on Hutchinson's workload. The second-year wideout played 67 percent of the offensive snaps while Collins was out the last five weeks, but that dropped to 44 percent (28 snaps) Monday. He also went untargeted for the first time in seven games. For now, John Metchie has emerged as the No. 3 wideout behind Collins and Tank Dell.

  • Season-high four targets

    Hutchinson caught two of four targets for six yards in Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Lions in Week 10.

    Analysis: The targets were a season high for Hutchinson, who topped Houston's wideouts with 57 snaps. It was the second consecutive week he's paced the group in playing time -- primarily due to injuries to Nico Collins (IR, hamstring) and Stefon Diggs (IR, knee) -- but it hasn't translated into anything useful for fantasy rosters. Hutchinson has two catches on seven targets for six yards in those two games. If anyone has emerged as a threat, it's John Metchie, who has eight catches on 12 targets for 103…read more

  • Three targets in loss

    Hutchinson did not catch any of his three targets in Thursday's 21-13 loss to the Jets in Week 9.

    Analysis: Houston's passing attack was expected to be challenged with both Nico Collins (hamstring) and Stefon Diggs (knee) unavailable, which made the possibility of Hutchinson or John Metchie having a productive game. However, the offensive line put an end to any such notion. Quarterback C.J. Stroud was was sacked eight times, hit on another 11 attempts and was running for his life all game. Beyond Tank Dell's 126 yards, there was little else happening for receivers. Hutchinson, who led the wideouts…read more

  • Should keep spot in three-wide sets

    Hutchinson should have a regular role in three-receiver sets after Stefon Diggs (knee) was diagnosed Tuesday with a torn ACL, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: With top wideout Nico Collins (hamstring) having played just four snaps over the Texans' last four games, Hutchinson had already been handling an expanded role. He played north of 60 percent of offensive snaps in three of those four contests but produced a meager 4-61-0 receiving line on seven targets over that stretch. Collins is set to miss one more game Thursday versus the Jets before potentially returning from injured reserve in Week 10, but the season-ending injury Diggs suffered in Week 8…read more

  • One target in win

    Hutchinson caught his lone target for 19 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over Indianapolis in Week 8.

    Analysis: He maintained an elevated snap count (44) with Nico Collins (hamstring) out, and Hutchinson was on the field more than either Robert Woods (24 snaps) or John Metchie (20). However, all three could be in line for increased roles this coming Thursday against the Jets, as Stefon Diggs suffered what appears to be a serious knee injury Sunday. Collins isn't due back until Week 10, so Houston's wideout group this Thursday could be headed by Tank Dell, with Hutchinson, Metchie and Woods behind him.

  • Maintains elevated snap count

    Hutchinson caught his lone target for 11 yards in Sunday's 24-22 loss to the Packers.

    Analysis: Hutchinson continued a run of elevated snap counts, as both Nico Collins (hamstring) and Robert Woods (foot) were inactive. Hutchinson, who was on the field for 41 snaps Sunday, has averaged 41 snaps over the past three weeks. The increased playing time hasn't elevated him to fantasy relevance, however. He has three catches on six targets for 42 yards in those three games.

  • Two targets in win

    Hutchinson did not catch either of his two targets in Sunday's 41-21 win over the Patriots in Week 6.

    Analysis: Hutchinson is the next wideout up after Houston placed Nico Collins (hamstring) on injured reserve, playing 48 snaps and getting targeted three times in Week 5 after Collins left that contest. The Collins injury is unlikely to result in a meaningful role for Hutchinson, who saw 33 snaps Sunday and sits behind Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell on the wide receiver depth chart and below tight end Dalton Schultz as a target. Additionally, the returns of running backs Joe Mixon and Dameon Pierce took…read more

  • Moves up depth chart

    Hutchinson could settle in as the Texans' No. 3 receiver behind Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell beginning with Sunday's game at New England after Houston placed Nico Collins (hamstring) on injured reserve Wednesday.

    Analysis: After Collins played just nine snaps in this past Sunday's win over the Bills before exiting with a hamstring injury, Hutchinson stepped up to play a season-high 48 snaps. The second-year wideout didn't do much with his extended playing time, finishing the day with two catches for 31 yards on three targets. Diggs, Dell and tight end Dalton Schultz will likely remain greater priorities in the passing attack in the weeks to come, but Collins' absence at least creates more opportunities for…read more

  • Steps in for injured starter

    Hutchinson caught two of three targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Bills in Week 5.

    Analysis: Hutchinson's three targets were a season high, and the wideout was handed a season-high 48 snaps in place of Nico Collins, who was removed after nine snaps with a hamstring injury. Last week, Robert Woods was the main beneficiary when Tank Dell was inactive. Collins will be monitored this week as Houston prepares for a Week 6 visit to New England, and the Texans haven't ruled him out for next Sunday's matchup, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston. If Collins is sidelined though, it's not…read more

  • One official target in loss

    Hutchinson did not catch his lone target in Sunday's 34-7 loss to Minnesota in Week 3.

    Analysis: Hutchinson had another target that would have resulted in a 16-yard catch for a first down, but it was wiped out by an illegal formation penalty. Through three weeks, the second-year wideout has one catch on three targets for three yards. He and Robert Woods are getting similar playing time thus far as depth behind Nico Collins, Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell.

  • Targeted once in win

    Hutchinson did not catch his lone target in Sunday's 19-13 win over the Bears.

    Analysis: Hutchinson played just nine snaps, which was the same amount as veteran Robert Woods, and the team's top three wideouts have dominated the targets and playing time through two games. Hutchinson has one catch on two targets for three yards thus far in 2024.

  • Logs target in win

    Hutchinson caught his lone target for three yards in Sunday's 29-27 win over Indianapolis in Week 1.

    Analysis: Hutchinson served as the fifth wideout for the season opener, playing 12 snaps. That's the same amount as 12-year veteran Robert Woods, who went without a target in the win. Hutchinson leveraged a strong preseason to leapfrog John Metchie, who was inactive Week 1. Hutchinson came on late in 2023, when the Texans were dealing with injuries, and appears to be an injury away from a more significant role.

  • Leading receiver Saturday

    Hutchinson caught four of seven targets for 34 yards in Saturday's preseason game against the Rams.

    Analysis: Hutchinson finished up a strong preseason, leading the team in receptions (12), targets (20) and yards (114). That should put him in consideration for what will be, at most, two available roster spots at depth wide receiver. Hutchinson is battling with John Metchie, Robert Woods, Steven Sims and Ben Skowronek.

  • Two grabs Saturday

    Hutchinson caught two-of-four targets for 20 yards in Saturday's preseason game against the Giants.

    Analysis: Following a strong showing in the Hall of Fame Game, Hutchinson put together a pair of mediocre outings the subsequent two weeks. He may have entered the game as the leader for the fifth spot on the wideout depth chart, but his main competitor, John Metchie, had a strong game with six catches for 68 yards and a touchdown.

  • Gets first-half work

    Hutchinson caught one of three targets for four yards, rushed once for 19 yards and returned a kickoff for 27 yards in Friday's 20-12 preseason win over Pittsburgh.

    Analysis: Hutchinson didn't have the impact as a receiver that he did in the Hall of Fame Game last week, but he was given snaps in the first half, putting him in the mix for one of the final spots on the wideout depth chart. He also ran the ball for the second straight preseason contest, which suggests the Texans view him as a potential multi-dimensional weapon.

  • Impresses coach

    Houston head coach DeMeco Ryans on Friday praised Hutchinson's performance in Thursday's preseason game, Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 Houston reports. "Hutch did a really nice job," Ryans said. "Had a good feel for the football, really liked where he was going. He made some really nice plays for us."

    Analysis: Hutchinson paced Houston's receivers, catching five of six targets for 56 yards against the Bears. There's a crowd of wideouts looking for the final spots behind the Texans' top three, and Hutchinson's effort at least puts him ahead of John Metchie and on par with Ben Skowronek. It's unclear where Hutchinson sits in relation to Noah Brown (undisclosed) and Robert Woods, both of whom did not play Thursday.

  • Paces air attack in HOF Game

    Hutchinson brought in five of six targets for 56 yards in the Texans' 21-17 preseason loss to the Bears on Thursday. He also rushed once for eight yards.

    Analysis: The second-year pro led the Texans in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the night due to the top receiver quartet of Stefon Diggs, Nico Collins, Tank Dell and Noah Brown (undisclosed) all sitting out. Hutchinson, who started Thursday's game and recorded a six-yard grab on the first offensive play, understandably filled a minor role in Houston's air attack as a rookie (8-90 line on 19 targets), and he'll have to fight for a roster spot again this summer with Robert Woods, John Metchie…read more

  • Positioned for bigger role

    Hutchinson finished the 2023 regular season with eight catches (on 19 targets) for 90 yards over 16 games. He also had five carries for 49 yards.

    Analysis: Hutchinson played a minor role for much of the season before injuries led to increased opportunities late in the campaign. He had four catches during the postseason, including a failed flea flicker seen as the turning point of the season-ending loss to the Ravens. Hutchinson is positioned for a greater role in 2024, as Houston is expected to move on from Noah Brown and could save cap space by releasing Robert Woods, who turns 32 in April. However, the organization is likely to bring in more…read more

  • Remains involved in playoff win

    Hutchinson caught both of his targets for 12 yards in Saturday's 45-14 wild-card playoff win over the Browns.

    Analysis: Hutchinson received elevated snap counts over the final five weeks of the regular season due to injuries at wideout, but he slipped back to 20 snaps in the playoff win. That was because Robert Woods and Noah Brown returned from injuries. However, Brown left Saturday's game with a shoulder injury, and Woods played fewer snaps (15) than Hutchinson. Wideout availability for this week's matchup will be determined over the course of the week. The Texans will be on the road against Baltimore on…read more

  • Season-high snap count

    Hutchinson caught one of four targets for six yards in Saturday's 23-19 win over the Colts in Week 18.

    Analysis: Hutchinson played a season-high 36 snaps, as both Noah Brown (back) and Robert Woods (hip) were inactive. While Houston has dealt with wideout injuries all season, the situation reached a critical mass in Week 18. As such, Hutchinson and John Metchie (38 snaps) took on more prominent roles in the passing games behind Nico Collins. As Houston prepares for its first postseason game since 2019, Hutchinson's potential role depends on the health of Brown and Woods.

  • Stays healthy in win

    Hutchinson caught two of three targets for eight yards in Sunday's 26-3 win over the Titans.

    Analysis: Hutchinson was on the field for 26 snaps and had one red-zone target in the win. Both he and fellow receiver John Metchie benefitted from injuries up the depth chart, as Noah Brown and Robert Woods left the game with hip injuries. That sets up a Week 18 scenario in which Hutchinson could be among Houston's top three wideouts when the team travels to Indianapolis for a must-win game.

  • Drop in snap count

    Hutchinson caught one of two targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 36-22 loss to the Browns.

    Analysis: Hutchinson, who played a season-high 65 snaps last week, was down to 31 in Sunday's game due to the return of Nico Collins from a calf injury. Despite the loss, the Texans remain in the hunt for the AFC South title, as the Colts and Jaguars also lost in Week 16. With something left to play for, that means any banged-up veteran wideouts should continue to keep Hutchinson on the lower end of the depth chart.

  • Season-high snap count

    Hutchinson did not catch any of his three targets and had one carry for five yards in Sunday's 19-16 overtime win over the Titans.

    Analysis: He was on the field for a season-high 65 snaps, as Houston operated without Nico Collins (calf) and Tank Dell (lower leg). Hutchinson's rush attempt came in the red zone and was the rookie's fifth carry of the season. He was also the target on a couple of deep balls. If Collins is ready to go in Week 16 against the Browns, Hutchinson's playing time will take a hit.

    Hutchinson caught two of three targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 30-6 loss to the Jets in Week 14.

    Analysis: Hutchinson emerged as the snap-count leader (41) among the team's wideouts following Nico Collins' departure after just three plays with a calf injury. Collins joined Tank Dell (lower leg) and Dalton Schultz (hamstring) on the list of unavailable receiving options, which elevated Hutchinson and John Metchie (28 snaps). Noah Brown and Robert Woods were also in the lineup, but the passing game suffered without Collins and Dell. Adding to offense's troubles was quarterback C.J. Stroud leaving in…read more

  • Will not play Sunday

    Hutchinson (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Broncos.

    Analysis: Hutchinson will be the odd man out with Noah Brown returning from a knee injury. The rookie receiver saw 13 snaps in each of the last two weeks, catching his only target for a 34-yard gain in Week 12. His next opportunity to suit up will be in Week 14 against the Jets.

  • Has big play in loss

    Hutchinson caught his lone target for 34 yards in Sunday's 24-21 loss to Jacksonville in Week 12.

    Analysis: Hutchinson had the Texans' longest play, a 34-yard reception in the fourth quarter to set up a Nico Collins touchdown. The rookie has been more involved the last few weeks as wideouts further up the depth chart have dealt with injuries. He's on the lower end of the target pecking order, but given the surge of Houston's passing offense -- 367 yards per game, 10 touchdowns -- the last four weeks, Hutchinson could grab a few leftovers behind Nico Collins, Tank Dell. Dalton Schultz and Robert Woods.

    Hutchinson did not catch his lone target and had one carry for 17 yards in Sunday's 30-27 win over the Bengals in Week 10.

    Analysis: Hutchinson has received an uptick in usage while injuries have hit Houston's wide receivers the last few weeks, but he's made a bigger name for himself as a runner. For the second consecutive week, Hutchinson was used as a rusher on the opponent's side of the field and lugged the ball inside the 20-yard line. Each drive ended in a Houston touchdown. As the Texans operate without lead back Dameon Pierce, offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik has involved wideouts in the running attack, including…read more

  • Used as runner in win

    Hutchinson was not targeted and had one carry for 12 yards in Sunday's 39-37 win over the Buccaneers in Week 9.

    Analysis: Hutchinson's 12-yard carry was Houston's longest running play, and he now has three carries for 27 yards for the season. The rookie sixth-round pick has gone six games without being targeted, but he could move up the depth chart if the rib injury that forced John Metchie's exit from Sunday's game causes him to miss time.

  • Questionable after full practices

    Hutchinson (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

    Analysis: Hutchinson practiced fully Thursday and Friday after being a limited participant Wednesday, so the rookie is more likely than not to suit up, especially with Houston ruling out another receiver in Robert Woods (foot). Though he played his second-most snaps on offense (12) of the season in the Texans' last game Week 6 versus the Saints, Hutchinson won't necessarily see his role expand coming out of a Week 7 bye.

  • Could see more snaps Sunday

    Hutchinson may see added involvement in the passing game Sunday against the Saints with fellow rookie wideout Tank Dell (concussion) listed as questionable but not expected to play, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Meanwhile, Robert Woods (ribs) is listed as questionable but is expected to play, and Noah Brown (groin) was reinstated from injured reserve Saturday, so the Texans' receiver group is fairly healthy heading into Sunday, despite Dell's anticipated absence. Nico Collins and Woods will serve as the Texans' top two wideouts, but Hutchinson, Brown and John Metchie could all get opportunities to mix into three-receiver sets more than usual with Dell out of the mix.

  • No run on offense

    Hutchinson played special teams only in Sunday's 37-17 win over Jacksonville.

    Analysis: Hutchinson did not get on the field for the offense for the first time in three games. From comments made by head coach DeMeco Ryans during the preseason, the rookie is still developing consistency, so any impact he may have could come later this season.

  • Seven snaps in opener

    Hutchinson caught his lone target for nine yards in Sunday's 25-9 loss to Baltimore in Week 1.

    Analysis: Hutchinson operated as the fifth wideout, as John Metchie (hamstring) was inactive. Hutchinson, selected in sixth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, played just seven snaps, well behind Robert Woods (58), Nico Collins (54), Noah Brown (52) and fellow rookie Tank Dell (37).

  • Third on depth chart

    Hutchinson is listed third on the depth chart at one wide receiver position for Week 1 against Baltimore.

    Analysis: Hutchinson sits behind fellow 2023 draft pick Tank Dell and starter Nico Collins. The Iowa State product did not develop as quickly as Dell during the preseason, but the 6-foot-3 Hutchinson has the size to be an ideal red zone target.

  • Leads receivers in finale

    Hutchinson caught four of six targets for a team-high 48 yards in Houston's preseason finale against New Orleans on Sunday.

    Analysis: Hutchinson had moments during the preseason but needs to develop consistency. "That's all we ask for from Hutch is continue to get better, work hard," Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans told Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 Houston. "That's what he's been doing, and it showed. It was good to see it finally come to fruition." Hutchinson, a sixth-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, earned a spot on the 53-man roster, as did fellow wideout draftee Tank Dell.
