Hutchinson caught two of three passes for 10 yards and returned two kickoffs for 52 yards during the Texans' 34-31 win over the Jaguars on Sunday in London.
Hutchinson's 34 offensive snaps were more than what he logged in each of the Texans' three games prior to Week 6, although he logged season lows in catches, receiving yards and targets. He was used as a kick returner for the first time since Week 18 of the 2024 season. That could be Hutchinson's primary role moving forward, seeing as Houston acquired Marvin Harrison from Arizona along with the impending return of Tank Dell (knee) from injured reserve. The Texans will head back home for Week 7 to host the Giants on Oct. 25.
Hutchinson caught four of five targets for 65 yards in Sunday's 26-3 win over the Titans.
Hutchinson led the team in receiving yards, while his four catches were tied for second with running back Woody Marks. The wide receiver has now reeled in 16 of 31 targets for 231 yards over the first five games of the season. The Texans announced that they traded for wide receiver Marvin Harrison on Sunday, and the addition of Harrison will likely lower Hutchinson's upside as a fantasy asset moving forward.
Hutchinson will have a key role for the Texans in the absence of Nico Collins (hamstring) this Sunday against Cincinnati, Aaron Wilson of SportsTalk790AM reports.
Above the line the plan was to throw; below it, to run.
In the season opener, Hutchinson finished second among the team's wide receivers in route share (69 percent) and target share (16.2 percent), catching three of six targets for 32 yards. He's struggled to draw targets over the years even when he gets considerable playing time, but this could be somewhat different because the team's WR depth looks thinner than in past years. Kayshon Boutte, Jaylin Noel and Jared Wayne also figure to have roles against the Bengals on Sunday.
