2020 Outlook
Depth Chart
Deshaun Watson again finished in the top five at the quarterback position in 2019, although his statistical output waned some from 2018. His interception rate was up and his completion percentage was down; he also rushed for less yardage. Nevertheless, he had a very solid season and led the Texans to a victory in the playoffs.

If there is a reason to not blame Watson for his slight dip, it is that the Texans' offensive line was very poor at protecting him. For the second straight season, Watson was at the top of the league in sacks, taking 44 in the regular season and another 11 in the playoffs. The fact that he has consistently been excellent despite very poor protection is impressive.

A few things will change this season for Watson. First, Bill O'Brien will apparently no longer be calling plays. Offensive coordinator Tim Kelly, who will be in his second season in that role, will call the plays. How that will change the overall offense, and specifically the run/pass ratio, is to be seen.

Second, the Texans' best receiver, DeAndre Hopkins, is gone. This certainly hurts Watson, since the two had built a nice rapport and he must now work to build that same chemistry with two new receivers (Cooks and Cobb) - despite limited offseason work.

Third, the backfield has changed. Though Duke Johnson is still around and will likely continue flanking Watson on passing downs, David Johnson is now likely to be the primary back instead of Lamar Miller or Carlos Hyde. If David Johnson returns to his form of a couple seasons ago this could be a positive for the offense as a whole.

To this point in his career, Watson has been incredibly durable. If the sacks continue, however, you'd have to assume that will catch up with his body at some point. The Texans will likely look to limit his rushing to some degree to keep him healthy, even though the rushing ability is a key part of his fantasy value. I'd expect him to take a small step back without Hopkins, but overall I think he'll finish very close to the same place in the QB rankings during 2020.

News From The Past 90 Days
Deshaun Watson officially requests a trade
He actually did it weeks ago
By: Mike Krueger | Thu Jan 28, 9:54 am

Houston Texans
Deshaun Watson officially has requested a trade from the Houston Texans, per league sources. He actually did it weeks ago. Their new head-coaching hire, David Culley, has not and will not alter Watson’s thinking. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)

FFToday's Take: This saga begun a couple weeks ago as Watson has reportedly been upset about his voice not being heard in the Texans' head-coaching search among other things. Watson does have a no-trade clause in his contract giving him so say in what team he is traded to. Stay tuned...

Injury Brandin Cooks placed on Inactive list
Neck injury
By: Mike Krueger | Sun Dec 13, 11:30 am

Houston Texans
Update: Texans opted not to play Brandin Cooks today, and he is now officially inactive. Keke Coutee officially is active. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)

FFToday's Take: We had conflicting reports between Ian Rapoport and Adam Schefter on Cooks' availability. Ultimately he was placed on the Inactive list meaning Keke Coutee and Chad Hansen will be the top two receivers for Deshaun Watson. Rookie WR Isaiah Coulter is also active.
