Coming off an AFC-South winning season, the Texans will look to roll that momentum into 2019. Deshaun Watson put up good numbers last year, which is reassuring after he suffered an ACL injury in 2017. His 4,165 yards put him at 11th in the NFL. He threw 9 picks and had a QBR of 64.1 on the year. Lamar Miller will set up at RB1 again to begin the season. He put up 973 rushing yards with 5 TDs last season. With Hopkins and Fuller lining up at WR1 and WR2 again this season, this offense will be a tough one to stop. If everyone stays healthy, I don't see the Texans having a hard time winning the South again, their biggest competition maybe being the Colts. Their secondary last season really needed some work, so they went and drafted Lonnie Johnson Jr., a CB out of Kentucky to add some depth. That being said, Tyrann Mathieu and Kareem Jackson both walked in free agency, leaving a couple more holes in the secondary.

Top 3 Texans Roster Questions of 2019-2020
What can we expect from the 2019-20 Texans defensively?
The Texans D/ST remains a popular choice amongst fantasy football players everywhere. Aside from a shaky secondary, the Texans' defensive line was amongst the best in the NFL last year. They finished with 43 sacks and on average held RBs to just 3.11 yards per carry, where the NFL average was 4.36. Justin Reid, a second year safety, gives the secondary some hope, though. After being projected to be a first rounder in the 2018 draft and then falling to pick #68, he had a choice of whether to accept that or try to prove teams wrong. He did the latter, and finished with 88 tackles and 3 interceptions in the regular season. Despite being so young, he will be looked at as a leader to this year's Texans' defense and will have a big role to play.
Did the Texans improve their offensive line in the offseason?
The Texans had a very bad offensive line last year despite making the playoffs. If they want to continue to compete/go further into the postseason, this is an issue that will need to be addressed. For starters, the Texans took Tytus Howard, an OT out of Alabama State in the first round of the draft at pick number 23. An offensive lineman is never a flashy pick to make in the first round, but a necessary one for Houston. They took Max Scharping, another OT out of Northern Illinois which will undoubtedly provide some depth at the position (depth that is desperately needed). Grabbing tackle Matt Kalil in free agency will also provide depth in the line, as he's currently slated behind Tytus Howard. Did the Texans improve their O-line in the offseason? Absolutely. Could they have done more? I definitely think so.
What can we expect from Deshaun Watson in the 2019-20 season?
Watson is coming off a great 2018 and is slowly taking over the role as the face of the franchise. The big point Watson proved last season with his performance was that his ACL injury in 2017 wasn't going to slow him down. He performed in the top half of QBs in the league in almost every category, and there's no reason to think he won't improve upon that in this season/ If anything, he'll probably peak in either the 2019/20 season or 2020/21, because as a young quarterback he's learning with each and every passing game. With elite targets like DeAndre Hopkins, Will Fuller, and Keke Coutee, Watson will easily put up upwards of 4,000 yards again this season. I believe this offense will be a tough one for defenses around the league to go up against, and I see the Texans making another post-season run.
