STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Played 47 snaps and ran more routes than Boutte in Week 1, making him a potential replacement target. However, community notes Hutchinson has been a disappointment in past injury-replacement scenarios. If Collins is out, Texans will spread targets across multiple receivers, so Hutchinson is not a lock.
