Houston Texans: 5 dream/nightmare scenarios for the 2018 season

The Houston Texans had a miserable 2017 for a variety of reason. Hopefully, the 2018 season is a better one. Let’s take a look at five dream/nightmare scenarios for this team.

The Houston Texans 2017 season saw the team suffer many, many injuries. The result of that paired with extremely inconsistent play result in the worst year in a long time, the team finished 4-12.

However, all the promise that the team had going to last season has returned for this season, and perhaps it might’ve even grown. The vast majority of the players that were injured last season have already returned to the field. The Houston Texans also added key players through free agency and the draft.

The team brought in three offensive linemen as free agents, the chief being Zach Fulton from Kansas City. Two defensive backs were also brought in, Tyrann Mathieu at safety and Aaron Colvin at corner.

In spite of not having a first or a second round pick (to fix the QB position), the Texans had a  pretty decent draft haul. Three of the team’s first four picks figure to get playing time early an often at the safety, tight end, and wide receiver positions.

So, this season definitely has a lot of promise and could really season the Houston Texans take off. However, last season had a ton of promise as well and we know how that turned out. So, without further adieu, let’s look at five dream scenarios for this season and five nightmare scenarios.
