ESPN ranks Texans' offensive weaponry 24th among NFL teams entering 2026
Summary

Entering the 2026 NFL season, ESPN's Bill Barnwell ranks the Houston Texans' group of tight ends, running backs, and wide receivers as 24th out of 32 teams. The Texans have made changes to their offense, including trading Tytus Howard and signing Wyatt Teller and Braden Smith, aiming to improve their run blocking and pass protection after struggles last season. Pro Bowl quarterback C.J. Stroud will rely on players like Nico Collins and Dalton Schultz for receiving, though Collins' injury history raises concerns about his availability. New running back David Montgomery is expected to enhance the ground game, which has struggled in recent years.
