Week 8 vs. Tennessee
After missing the previous two games with a hamstring injury, Nate Washington returned with a vengeance last week in the blowout loss to the Dolphins. With the Miami secondary surrounding DeAndre Hopkins, Nate was targeted a team-high 16 times, resulting in nine grabs, 127 yards and his first two touchdowns with the Texans. Washington also benefitted from Cecil Shorts (hamstring) missing the contest. With Arian Foster gone for the season, look for Brian Hoyer and the passing attack to become more important. While he won’t post the big numbers you saw last week, Washington makes for a WR3/flex play against a Tennessee defense that is No. 2 versus the pass.
