On a team with 15 returning starters, Houston has plenty of talent on their roster heading into the 2017 season. While there are some holes to fill, the players who will replace those departures have experience. Some players are simply getting more playing time, which could lead to improvement in their games. These five players all will see improvement due to an increased number of snaps, and their success will result in team success as well.
Houston fans should be excited about Catalon’s potential despite recurring injuries that have shortened his time in the backfield. He’s a big enough body to run in the trenches, but also skilled to catch balls out of the backfield (finished fourth on the team in receptions).
