The Houston Texans are in first place in the AFC South with 4 wins and 1 loss. They also secured a win against the Buffalo Bills, establishing themselves as a true contender in the conference. However, that doesn’t mean there aren’t areas that need to be addressed.
According to NFL scouting division Bleacher Report, the interior of both the offensive and defensive lines remains a major concern for Houston. They see issues in the secondary as well as the running backs, but that appears to be due to injuries.
While not all needs will be addressed during the season, BR believes he can still help strengthen the O-line with free agent Riley Reiff.
“It’s hard to find good help, and Riley Reiff is one of the few veterans still on the free agent market. He’s always been a serviceable tackle and has recently moonlighted as a guard, so there’s position flexibility as well.” ” — Bleacher Report
As with the running backs, concerns for the offensive line seem to center on injuries. The Texans had Larrymy Tunsil, Titus Howard, Blake Fisher and Juice Scruggs all on the injury report heading into this weekend.
Still, adding someone like Leaf wouldn’t be a bad idea. He is a 12-year veteran with 164 games and 149 starts. He may be 35 years old, but he will still be brought in as an injury filler rather than a full-time player.
Looking ahead, Bleacher Report believes Ohio State product Tyreek Williams should be a target in the NFL Draft and Ohio State product Tyreek Williams should be a free agency target. . They don’t have an offer for the secondary, but it’s hard to argue against an addition like Williams.
