Texans WR Nate Washington (abdomen) took full practice reps Thursday after being limited Wednesday. Washington is on track to play against Carolina. Both he (84 percent) and Cecil Shorts (82 percent) played starter’s snaps in Week 1.

Texans Beat: Nate Washington has a lead in the WR2 competition

Texans beat writer John Harris:

I’m convinced Nate Washington could get open against his shadow. When Bill O’Brien said he’d be the No. 2 WR if the season started today, many raised an eyebrow, shocked a bit at the declaration. But, if you took the numbers off the receivers, didn’t know one from the other and watched every single play, you’d also come away thinking he should be the No. 2 receiver.

Now, most people will wonder aloud what about Cecil Shorts III? Wasn’t he brought here to be the number two wide out? Don’t worry, he’s had a strong camp and today was his best day, in my opinion. He was Mallett’s go-to guy on shallow to intermediate routes, especially early in practice, and he can make something after the catch as well.

Fantasy Impact: 

Washington is something of a fantasy cockroach, in that he's a survivor. He has finished in the top 65 in seven straight seasons, with an average ranking of 43.4 in PPR formats. He's also in line for a lot of snaps if he wins the WR2 job, though he'll have to hold off Shorts and rookie Jaelen Strong.

Texans Beat: Nate Washington, Cecil Shorts have the edge on Jaelen Strong

Texans beat writer Tania Ganguli (ESPN) projects that Nate Washington and Cecil Shorts will start Week 1 alongside DeAndre Hopkins.

Fantasy Impact: 

To be fair, rookie Jaelen Strong had a rough spring and has time in camp to close the gap. But in Shorts and Washington, he'll have to overcome a couple of very experienced veterans. Shorts (27) is younger than Washington (32), but Washington has been more durable in recent years. Given the team's quarterback situation, there isn't a whole lot to like in the passing game other than Hopkins, who figures to be a target-hog.

Texans QB Brian Hoyer offers HC Bill O'Brien the more known quantity after starting 14 games for the Cleveland Browns last season, but he finished the year with a 1-to-8 touchdown-to-interception ratio in his last four games.

Ryan Mallett offers more upside, but he remains a relative unknown with just 79 career passing attempts. Even if Hoyer begins the season as starter, he could at some point give way to Mallett, much like he did late last season with Johnny Manziel.

Tom Savage remains a developmental project who can bide his time behind the other two.

Fantasy Impact: 

Hoyer showed flashes, especially two years ago with the Browns before getting hurt, but last year struggled. If Hoyer wins the job he'll have a better running game to work with compared to Cleveland as Arian Foster is one of the top backs in the league. DeAndre Hopkins will be the featured target of the aerial attack. Cecil Shorts was limited by injuries and reduced opportunities in the Jacksonville Jaguars' offensive youth movement, but he arrives as a versatile starting option. Third-round pick Jaelen Strong could carve out an early role as a possession receiver. Right now, the Texans QB starter only has streaming potential until we see more stability.
