Houston Texans WR Jaelen Strong is down to 197 pounds after weighing in at 230 pounds last season. An improved physique has already improved his game. ‘I just said to him today how far he’s come,’ head coach Bill O’Brien said. ‘I was concerned about him from a conditioning standpoint. He really at some point in time before training camp, he came back and passed the conditioning test and really took off after that.’
Footballguys View: Strong looks like a different player according to observers. His offseason arrest might have dropped him off of fantasy radars in dynasty leagues, so this is a good time to buy low if you liked Strong coming out but missed him in last year’s rookie drafts. He will vie to start outside and keep first-round pick Will Fuller in a deep target role. Cecil Shorts is likely to line up in the slot.
