From the upgrade/downgrade report (Mon Oct 15): The Bills defense deserves some credit here, but Deshaun Watson is getting battered and didn't make the downfield magic happen with Fuller in Week 6. With Jacksonville up next, Week 7 could also be a problem.
General News (Thu Oct 18): partially participated in Thursday's practice.

Week 7: at Jacksonville Jaguars
FBG says: Tough matchup. Deshaun Watson continues to have a roller coaster of a season. Watson has thrown for 300 or more yards in four of his six games, but the other two games he struggled mightily as he threw for just 176.5 yards average in those two games. Last week the number of hits that he took were an issue and supposedly played with a partially collapsed lung. The Texans receiving group is an extremely dynamic trio in DeAndre Hopkins, Will Fuller and Keke Coutee that creates significant mismatches for opponents. The Jacksonville pass defense hasn't been quite as smothering as it was in 2017 when they allowed the league's fewest net yards per attempt and third-fewest touchdowns. Even with last week's blowout loss, cornerbacks Jalen Ramsey and A.J. Bouye remain extremely stingy in coverage - only Odell Beckham Jr. Sammy Watkins and last week star Cole Beasley have topped 61 yards in this matchup thus far. And their job is made much easier by the swarming pass rush. Calais Campbell, Yannick Ngakoue, and Malik Jackson lead a front that both bends the edge and collapses pockets, and the Jaguars rarely need to blitz coverage men to disrupt things. Fantasy players rely on Jacksonville opponents at their own risk.

Recent Game Summaries
2018 Week 6 vs BUF (3 / 2 / 33 / 0 rec)
Another quiet week for Fuller but when the Texans needed some big catches to get the chains moving Watson finally looked his direction. Fuller had receptions for 17 and 16 but teams continue to be scared of him as a deep threat. Fuller had coverage beat early in the 1st quarter but Watson missed him with an errant throw, if it was put on the money it would have been a walk in touchdown for Fuller. There was a deep ball intended for Fuller that resulted in a defensive pass interference and he was shook up after landing on a camera but he shook it off and came in a play later.
2018 Week 5 vs DAL (3 / 2 / 15 / 0 rec)
It was a down day for Will Fuller and he was on the field for most of the game but only had two receptions for 15 yards. Fuller has been dealing with a hamstring all week but it appears he was as decoy most of the game with no real vertical presence. He was only targeted three times and one of those the ball was deflected by a linebacker rushing Watson.
2018 Week 4 vs IND (5 / 4 / 49 / 1 rec)
Will Fuller loves when he is on the field with Deshaun Watson and notched another touchdown reception for 3 yards. Fuller continues to rack up touchdowns off the arm of Watson and he also had 49 yards receding. Fuller did the toe tap twice down the right sideline hauling in receptions for 18 and 22. It would have been a bigger day for Fuller is he did not injure his already problematic hamstring. The Texans held him out the entire second half and overtime, if not for that it would have been a much bigger day for Fuller.
2018 Week 3 vs NYG (11 / 5 / 101 / 1 rec)
His growth as a receiver with Watson is something to see and in only 6 games, Fuller has turned into a prime time player. Fuller had receptions for 28 and 37 yards and showed he can run away from coverage and even was physical breaking tackles. Fuller had 5 receptions and just like last week when it came for a big play, He was called upon to to flip the field. Fuller notched a touchdown reception after Hopkins initial one was wiped out due to a penalty. It will be interesting to see what happens with his targets as the season goes on but this is the second week of high end production.
2018 Week 2 vs TEN (9 / 8 / 113 / 1 rec)
It was Will Fuller's first game of the season and it is clear that Watson likes when he is in the lineup. Fuller caught 8 passes on the day and 7 of those were simple comebacks or outs for 6, 7 and 8 yards a pop. The Texans kept using Fuller like that and then he was able to get vertical after the Titans defense started creeping up and busted them for a 39 yard touchdown reception. Fuller balances out the offense and was able to produce when given the chance and if anything he is showing why he is an important part of the Texans offense.
