Houston Texans WR Xavier Hutchinson caught five of nine targets for 84 yards in a Week 18 win over the Indianapolis Colts.
Huddle Up: Hutchinson set a season high in yards and tied his season high in receptions. He's a player to keep tabs on in training camp but isn't fantasy relevant at this point.

Houston Texans WR Xavier Hutchinson caught two of his three targets for 21 yards in a 20-16 win over the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 17. He added an eight-yard run.
Huddle Up: Hutchinson's role has been trending in the wrong direction in recent weeks, and he has caught two passes or less in six straight games, failing to reach 40 receiving yards in any of those contests. He just doesn't have enough volume to warrant fantasy consideration.

Houston Texans WR Xavier Hutchinson was good for a single reception for four yards on two targets in Week 16 against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Houston Texans WR Xavier Hutchinson posted a 16-yard reception on two targets in Week 15 against the Arizona Cardinals.

Houston Texans WR Xavier Hutchinson didn't have any receptions on two targets in Week 14 against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Huddle Up: Hutchinson has been held without a catch in three of the past five games, and needless to say, that's not optimal at this critical juncture of the fantasy season. He cannot be trusted outside of the deepest of fantasy leagues.

Houston Texans WR Xavier Hutchinson caught two of five targets for 39 yards in a Week 13 win over the Indianapolis Colts.
Huddle Up: The five targets was one shy of his season high and five more than Christian Kirk in this one. Hutchinson, like Kirk, is not fantasy relevant in any formats

Houston Texans WR Xavier Hutchinson was good for three reception for 42 yards in Week 11 against the Tennessee Titans with five targets.

Houston Texans WR Xavier Hutchinson finished with five receptions for a game-high 69 yards and a touchdown on six targets in Week 8 against the San Francisco 49ers.
Huddle Up: Hutchinson's five grabs marked a season best, partly due to Nico Collins being absent. He is also seeing a larger role because he is jelling with C.J. Stroud. Even when Collins returns, there is room for Hutchinson's role to grow, but he'll have to compete with Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel. For now, Hutchinson is worth a look as a WR4 in fantasy leagues of 12 or more teams with some upside.
