Texans WR Depth Crisis Looms | Houston Texans News

Houston Texans’ 2026 season hangs in the balance as their wide receiver corps faces a brutal injury crisis—Tank Dell out for the year, Jayden Higgins sidelined entirely. With Nico Collins carrying the load as C.J. Stroud’s top target, his health and production are critical. Collins’ 71 catches, 1,100+ yards, and 6 TDs last season made him a Pro Bowl standout, but the team desperately needs depth. Enter Kayshon Boutte, a proven scorer from New England who’s already building chemistry with Stroud and could ease the pressure on Collins. Meanwhile, the Texans’ defense remains their anchor, giving the offense a chance to survive even with shaky WR options.
