Hutchinson is a sit despite new starting role; faces elite slot coverage from Cleveland.

Last week, Hutchinson became Houston's starting slot receiver, running 65.6% of his routes from the slot. He had an 80% route share (led the team) with a 13.5% target share, 0.91 YPRR, 29 receiving yards, one red zone target, one deep target, and a 21.7% first-read share (second on the team). However, the source recommends sitting him this week. Over their last five games, Cleveland has allowed the 12th-fewest yards per target and fourth-fewest fantasy points per opportunity to slot receivers.
