Had a really nice game. I was sitting 10 rows up from the TD catch.

Coverage was great on the play and he still caught it in stride.

50-60 catches this year with 7 TD's is my prediction.

Sucks that Nick Martin is banged up. I've slowly become a closet Texans fan after they got drafted.

I don't think so. Simply because Jaelen Strong, who they have been raving about this year, is going to likely start opposite Nuk.

Fuller's touches will be too inconsistent this year to warrant a spot on my roster. Love the guy, but I wanna see how involved he is and how many targets he gets.

It appears that our questions have been answered. His first-team usage during the preseason points to a big role:

I'm going to look like a genius in the keeper league for taking him in the 11th.

You got him just before I was going to grab him.

Same thing with Hogan.

And whoever stole Henry from me when I was gonna do an early handcuff.

Hate you all.

I'm not in a keeper league, but I'm still planning on drafting him. I just hope I can get a decent value for him and not have to overpay late in the draft. There are not many ND fans in my FF league, so I doubt many of them know much about Fuller outside of the fact that he's #2 WR on a Texans team with a mediocre QB. I've watched them play a couple times this preseason and Will looks very involved in the offense. I'm hoping he's the beneficiary to Hopkins double teams.

PreSeason. He's getting a ton of work...but I still think Strong gets the 2WR sets when all is said and done. That's not a knock on Will, just that they are in love with Strong this preseason.

But he looked great last night. Had one bad drop, but was money on the others. He's so fast. Smoked Bethel on two plays.

Strong also had an incredible catch for a TD.

Braxton Miller has also been great. Texans have a lot of weapons. Good problem to have.

Of course, the Cards didn't have Peterson or Matheiu. So it won't be that easy next time.

In this day and age if you're the 3rd receiver you are pretty much a starter given how often teams go three wide.

True. He's given us such a different dynamic.

Nuk is a top 5 WR in the NFL, but he's not a field stretcher. Fuller can flat out run.

Nuk and Strong are your guys you throw to in the redzone and over the middle...Fuller is our homerun.

I never knew that he was Will Fuller V. That's pretty sweet.

5 catches, 107 yards, 1 TD.

And those HANDS!! I don't recall him showing the ability to catch the ball away from his body like that at ND...

...but he dropped an 85 yard TD. Still a little bit of the bad to go along with the great.

Doesn't matter, he's an attention magnet. He makes everybody else better because other defenders have to account for him too. Much the same reason John Paxson and Steve Kerr got so many wide open jumpers playing with MJ.

And I started him on my fantasy team today.

Thanks for the points Will!

I was at the game.

He can run. Really bad drop, he was scoring if he catches it, but rebounded nicely and made a really great catch on 3rd down (35yd gain) to help seal the game.

He's gonna have his share of drops, but is a total game breaker.
