The 2021 Houston Texans appear to be a lost cause as Week 7 comes to a close.
The Texans are 1-6 and can look forward to hosting the 6-1 Los Angeles Rams at NRG Stadium. The Rams are in the same division as the 7-0 Arizona Cardinals, and can ill afford to have any crooked numbers in the loss column.
Meanwhile the Tennessee Titans are running away with the division at 5-2, and the Indianapolis Colts appear to have found their stride. The question now becomes whether the Texans can stay above the Jacksonville Jaguars to avoid the AFC South basement.
As such, it’s Houston’s job to do a review of their roster and extract maximum value for players who don’t project well into the 2022 team.
Of course, the inevitable Deshaun Watson transaction will take care of itself, and won’t be included in this list.
