News

  • Four targets in loss

    Fells caught two of four targets for two yards in Sunday's 38-24 loss to the Broncos.

    Analysis: Fells had fewer targets and snaps than Jordan Akins, who, despite having fewer touchdowns this season, is considered the better receiving threat. When Houston fell behind 14-0 after one quarter and 31-3 at halftime, Fells' playing time took a hit.

  • Scores in win

    Fells caught two of three targets for 23 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-22 win over New England.

    Analysis: Fells, who is tied for the league lead among tight ends with seven touchdowns, recorded his first TD in three games. He remains the top dog among the team's tight ends even with the return of Jordan Thomas. Fells' 42 snaps were more than Jordan Akins (31) and Thomas (14).

  • Another red zone target in win

    Fells caught one of two targets for 24 yards in Thursday's 20-17 win over the Colts in Week 12.

    Analysis: Fells had one long catch to set up the Texans' first field goal and added his team-leading 10th red-zone target, one of only two plays Houston ran inside the Colts' 20-yard-line. The 33-year-old Fells has scored six touchdowns, all from the red zone, and is tied for the lead among tight ends in TD receptions. He does have more competition for snaps now that Jordan Thomas is back from injured reserve.

  • Three targets in loss

    Fells caught one of three targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 41-7 loss to Baltimore.

    Analysis: Fells, a surprising leader among tight ends with six touchdown catches, saw his two-game touchdown streak end. The Ravens steamrolled the Texans, which saw only one receiver post more than 27 receiving yards.

  • Scores again

    Fells caught one of three targets for one yard and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-3 win over the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Fells found the end zone for the third time in the last two games and has a team-high six touchdowns, which is also an NFL-high figure among tight ends. He's been a major surprise in the Texans' offense with career highs in catches (24), targets (31) and touchdowns (six).

  • Surprise TD leader

    Fells caught six of six targets for 58 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Raiders in Week 8.

    Analysis: Fells was the safety valve on a pair of plays extended by quarterback Dehsaun Watson's legs. It was the second multi-touchdown effort of the season, giving him a career-high five over eight games, tops on the Texans. The 33-year-old tight end has caught all seven of his red-zone targets for 75 yards and five scores.

  • Catches two passes in loss

    Fells caught both of his targets for 27 total yards during Sunday's 30-23 loss to the Colts.

    Analysis: Fells continues to see the field plenty, with at least 40 offensive snaps in five of his last six games, but targets are less than consistent. He has just two games with more than three targets this season. The broad-bodied tight end doesn't necessarily need a ton of targets to come up big as evidenced by his two-target, two-touchdown Week 5 performance, but inconsistency in targets risks the more-than-occasional dud from Fells. Sunday brings a matchup against Oakland's 31st-ranked pass defense.

  • 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
