A big factor for the Texans offense could also be the status of receiver Will Fuller. He’s not expected to play and that could be good news for the Bills.

According to NFL Network, Fuller suffered a groin injury in the Texans’ Week 16 win over the Bucs. Reportedly it was going to keep him out for three weeks. Doing some math, the means he’s out for Wild Card weekend, barring a miracle recovery from a guy who’s been oft-injured in his NFL career.

Fuller has caught 49 passes for 670 yards and three touchdowns this season, but he’s an important part of the Texans offense because of his speed. He stretches the field for Deshaun Watson and really helps out other playmakers on his team when doing so. Without him, the Texans don’t have a speedy option to do that against a Bills secondary which is already among the best in the NFL.
