Heavy usage in win
Fells caught six of seven targets for 69 yards in Sunday's 31-24 win over Kansas City in Week 6.
Analysis: The catches, targets and receiving yards were season highs for Fells, and it was his first game over 50 yards. The Texans leaned heavily on their ground game and used a lot of two-tight end sets, so Fells also enjoyed a season-high snap count (80 of 92, 87 percent). While he didn't record a touchdown catch, Fells has been used as a red-zone target this season -- he had one target Sunday -- and is tied with Will Fuller for the team lead at three scores.

Scores pair of red-zone TDs
Fells caught both of his targets for 20 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 53-32 win over the Falcons in Week 5.
Analysis: Fells' two touchdown grabs give him three for the season, tying him with Will Fuller for team high. Quarterback Deshaun Watson has involved Houston's tight ends more in 2019 than he did last year. Fells and Jordan Akins have has many red-zone targets (seven) as the team's more heralded wideouts.

Catches lone target
Fells caught his only target for 12 yards in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Panthers in Week 4.
Analysis: A week after being targeted six times, Fells' volume dropped to a more typical amount Week 4. This was the second time in four games he's received a solitary target. While he's the starter due to his blocking skills, Fells (11 targets) is second behind Jordan Akins (14) in terms of attention from quarterback Deshaun Watson.

Scores first TD
Fells caught five of six targets for 49 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Chargers in Week 3.
Analysis: Fells led Houston's tight ends in snaps and targets for a second straight game but took a back seat to Jordan Akins, who caught two touchdowns, as a receiver. Houston's tight ends took on an expanded role in the gameplan against the Chargers, receiving 11 targets in Week 3 after being targeted a combined seven times over the first two games. Maybe not so coincidentally, involving the tight ends led to quarterback Deshaun Watson throwing for a season-high 351 yards, the fifth-highest total of…read more

Leads TEs in snaps
Fells caught one of three targets for nine yards in Sunday's 13-12 win over the Jaguars.
Analysis: Fells made his second straight start at tight end and was the position group's leader in snaps with 44, five more than Jordan Akins. When the Texans offense tilts more toward the running game, as it did Sunday, Fells will be on the field more than Akins due to his blocking ability. Through two weeks, Fells has one catch on four targets.

Tops depth chart
Fells is listed as the first tight end on the Texans depth chart.
Analysis: Fells was listed as the starting tight end in the game books for Houston's first three preseason games before he sat out the finale. He caught both of his preseason targets for 34 yards and played little beyond the first quarter. His placement atop the tight ends could be a nod to Fells' talent as a blocker, while Jordan Akins or Jerell Adams, listed second and third on the depth chart, respectively, becomes the position group's target leader.

Signs with Texans
Fells is signing a one-year contract with the Texans, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Fells was released by the Browns on March 10 after catching 11 passes for 117 yards and three touchdowns in 16 games during the 2018 campaign. He only has 68 receptions in 70 NFL appearances, but 10 of them have gone for a score and he also has a strong reputation for blocking. Fells has a nice opportunity to compete for playing time ahead of his age-33 season, as the Texans figure to have an open competition at tight end with Ryan Griffin, Jordan Thomas, Jordan Akins and Jerell Adams all in…read more

Cut by Browns
The Browns released Fells on Sunday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Per Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer, the Browns dangled Fells on the trade market but were unable to find a suitable partner. Fells doesn't bring much to the table as a pass catcher, failing to reach 200 receiving yards in four of five pro campaigns. That said, his ability as a blocker has allowed him to maintain a consistent workload the past four seasons -- between 32 and 61 percent of the offensive snaps in a given year -- so the 32-year-old should garner plenty of interest on…read more

Records 11 catches in 2018
Fells ended his 2018 campaign with 11 catches (12 targets) for 117 yards and three touchdowns.
Analysis: Used as mainly a blocking tight end, Fells wasn't utilized much on offense during his first year in Cleveland, as he spent the bulk of his time backing up starter David Njoku. Fells signed a three-year, $12 million deal with the Browns last offseason, which will become fully guaranteed if he's on the roster on the third day of the 2019 league year.

Find end zone in win
Fells caught all three of his targets for 18 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 26-18 win over Cincinnati.
Analysis: Fells scored Cleveland's second touchdown of the game midway through the second quarter when, draped over by a Bengals defender, reeled in a one-yard touchdown from a scrambling Baker Mayfield. Situated behind an emerging David Njoku, Fells has been seldom used this season, with Sunday representing just his second multi-catch game of the season. His role has been that of occasional red-zone threat, with three of his 10 catches on the season going for touchdowns. The season ends against a Ravens…read more
