Houston Texans Roster 2020 Houston Texans Roster

4-12, 3rd AFC South

vs TEN

9:25 pm GMT , 1/3

The roster construction for the Houston Texans has not been great. They decided to trade DeAndre Hopkins for David Johnson this offseason. Replacing Hopkins, they decided Brandin Cooks was the best option. They also signed Randall Cobb. Deshaun Watson can’t be happy with this team and his new weapons. The offensive line has been bottom ten over the last few seasons and it is looking that way again as they didn’t make any notable signings. The defense has gotten older and most names that were above average have drifted off to other teams.

Texans FAQ

The Texans finished last season with a 10-6 record, although they were fairly mediocre overall, ranking just 14th in points for and 19th in points against. Deshaun Watson had another excellent season, throwing for 3,852 yards and 26 touchdowns while adding 413 yards and 7 touchdowns on the ground. However, his pass-catching options will look drastically different in 2020 after Houston traded away DeAndre Hopkins, arguably the best receiver in the NFL and a First-Team All-Pro wideout last season. Odds are that the Texans' defense regresses in 2020 after the losses of Jonathan Joseph, Jahleel Addae, Mike Adams, Barkevious Mingo, and D.J. Reader. As long as Watson is the quarterback in Houston, there will be fantasy-relevant weapons in play, but their odds to win their division aren't nearly as strong as last year.

Who is the Highest Paid Texans Player?

Heading into the 2020-21 season, the Texans' most significant cap hit is J.J. Watt. The former All-Pro defensive end is owed $15.5 million for this season and he'll be looking to bounce back after producing just 24 tackles and 4 sacks in eight games last season.

Who Owns the Houston Texans?

Bob McNair was the Texans' founding owner, winning a bid for the NFL's 32nd franchise as he was committed to bringing the NFL back to Houston. McNair passed away in 2018 and left his wife, Janice, with the team. Their son, Cal McNair, is the team's CEO and handles day-to-day operations.

Who Is the Texans Head Coach?

Bill O'Brien is entering his seventh season as the Texans' head coach. He has been successful to this point, earning a 52-44 regular-season record, but his 2-4 playoff record has left a lot to be desired. O'Brien is currently also the team's general manager, a role he has received some criticism for.

How Much Cap Space do the Texans Have?

The Texans currently have just over $20.6 million in available cap space, good for the 9th-most in the NFL. They could look to add a veteran player to fill one of their many holes on the roster before the season begins with several high-level players still available.

Who Will Replace DeAndre Hopkins in the Texans' Receiving Corps?

DeAndre Hopkins had 150 targets last season, so there's some pass-catching work to be had. The Texans acquired Brandin Cooks and David Johnson, who will be heavily involved. Incumbents on the Texans' roster in Will Fuller, Kenny Stills, and Keke Coutee will likely see a bump in targets this season.

Who is the Youngest Player on the Texans?

The Texans drafted two players this season who are currently 21 years old in Ross Blacklock, a 2nd-round defensive tackle out of TCU, and Isaiah Coulter, a 5th-round receiver out of Rhode Island. They are the youngest players on the roster.

Who is the Oldest Player on the Texans?

There are currently two players on the Texans' roster who are 34 years old - starting tight end Darren Fells and starting long snapper Jonathan Weeks. These are the two oldest players on the roster. Houston only has a few players older than 30 years old and has one of the youngest rosters.
