The Houston Texans are taking full advantage of having a legitimate franchise quarterback on a rookie contract.

After C.J. Stroud emerged as superstar and lifted this team from the league’s basement to a playoff win in his first season, the Texans went on a spending spree that resulted in several high-profile veteran free agents and trade targets joining the organization—perhaps none more notable than wideout Stefon Diggs.

Diggs fell out of favor with the Buffalo Bills despite making four Pro Bowl appearances during his four years with the club. Even though he ultimately finished 2023 with a solid 1,183 yards and eight touchdowns on 107 catches, he struggled in the back half of the campaign and playoffs. The Texans are hoping a change of scenery and chance to play with Stroud will get the 30-year-old back on track in 2024.

Diggs could relegate Nico Collins, Houston’s incumbent No. 1 receiver, to No. 2 duties.

Collins enjoyed a breakout 2023 season with a career-high 80 catches for 1,297 yards and eight touchdowns. It was a massive surge after he totaled only 927 yards and three scores on 70 catches across his first two NFL seasons.

Even after Diggs’ arrival, Collins should still see enough volume to make an impact. He’s a legit threat to post another 1,000-yard receiving campaign.

The wild card here is Tank Dell, who was looking like the Texans’ best receiving weapon before an injury cut his stellar rookie season short. Prior to breaking his fibula early in Week 13, Dell had hauled in 47 catches for 709 yards and seven touchdowns.

Given Stroud’s success with a group of unheralded pass-catchers last year, the quarterback is primed for an even stronger 2024 season. All three of his top wideouts could put up huge numbers and contest for Pro Bowl spots as they establish themselves as the NFL’s best receiving corps.
