Ultimately, if there is no one in free agency who looks appealing, why not bring back the 6-7, 270-pound target who proved so valuable to the Texans’ passing game? Fells already has familiarity with the offense and a good connection with Deshaun Watson. It would help the Texans long-term to get better production out of Akins, Thomas, and Warring, but if the same injury issues crop up, at least they can count on Fells.
