Houston Texans wide receiver Noah Brown (back) was not seen on the practice field on Wednesday. It's the second straight day of practice that Brown has missed to open wild-card week. Brown also missed the Week 18 regular season finale against the Indianapolis Colts last Saturday, so he's going to need to get back on the practice field on Friday to have a shot at facing the Cleveland Browns in Saturday's playoff game. Even if Brown returns to practice on Friday and plays against Cleveland, he'll be a low-upside, low-cost DS option against a Browns defense that is getting healthier for the postseason. In Week 15 against Houston, Brown caught a season-high eight passes for 82 yards and his second touchdown of the year on 11 targets. Houston's receiving corps is beat up heading into the playoffs, with both Brown and Robert Woods (hip) up in the air to play.
Houston Texans wide receivers Robert Woods (hip) and Noah Brown (back) were both listed as non-participants on the team's Tuesday practice report. Both Woods and Brown were inactive in the Week 18 regular season finale win over the Indianapolis Colts last Saturday to secure the AFC South title. It resulted in Nico Collins going off for nine catches on nine targets for 195 yards and a touchdown, while tight end Dalton Schultz had five catches (seven targets) for 42 yards. Rookie Xavier Hutchinson had four targets. Woods and Brown will need to return to practice over the next two days to have a shot to face the Cleveland Browns on wild-card weekend this Saturday. If neither wideout is able to play, Collins is going to draw a lot of attention from a much better secondary in the Browns.
Houston Texans wide receiver Noah Brown (back) was unable to practice all week and has been ruled out for Saturday's Week 18 regular season finale against the Indianapolis Colts. Fellow wideout Robert Woods (hip) is questionable, so the Texans receiving corps could be extra thin in a must-win game for rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud. Nico Collins should see as many targets as he can handle, especially if Woods is ruled out Saturday evening. Behind Collins, rookie Xavier Hutchinson and John Metchie III will inevitably see more offensive snaps with Brown being ruled out. Brown had several big games with Stroud impressing in his first NFL season, but overall he was largely inconsistent as a flex play in deeper fantasy leagues. He finishes his first regular season in Houston with 33 receptions for a career-high 567 yards and two touchdowns in 10 games played.
Houston Texans wide receiver Noah Brown (back) did not practice on Wednesday, making it two straight DNPs for the veteran. Brown is tending to a back injury that knocked him out of his team's Week 17 win over the Tennessee Titans. His status for Houston's Saturday matchup against the Indianapolis Colts is in jeopardy as he has just one more day to at least get in a limited session. If Brown ultimately isn't able to play it would force more work onto Robert Woods (hip) and perhaps John Metchie III's plates, although Woods is dealing with an injury of his own.
The Houston Texans listed wide receiver Noah Brown (back, hip, knee) as a non-participant on Tuesday's practice estimate. Brown continues to manage a knee injury that kept him sidelined in Weeks 11 and 12, but he's been playing ever since. Now that the 27-year-old is dealing with new injuries that he picked up in the Week 17 win over the Tennessee Titans, his status could be in danger for the Week 18 regular season finale against the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday evening. Since returning from his knee injury in Week 13, Brown has only really had one notable performance -- in Week 15 against the Titans when he had a season-high eight catches for 82 yards and a touchdown. If Brown is unable to get the green-light to play in a must-win game on Saturday, Robert Woods, John Metchie III and rookie Xavier Hutchinson would be in line for some more targets behind Nico Collins.
