Texans WR Cecil Shorts has returned to practice and is expected to play this week

Houston Texans wide receiver Cecil Shorts returned to practice on Monday. He had been sidelined with a hamstring injury. His role is a bit unclear, at worst he's the WR3 in Houston.

Fantasy Analysis:

Shorts was considered the WR2 prior to the injury. However, Nate Washington has been excellent in his absence. It's unclear who exactly will be higher in the pecking order. With that said, with terrible tight ends and running backs, we expect plenty of three-wide sets anyway. Shorts will certainly cut into Washington's targets though.
