Texans receivers DeAndre Hopkins, Will Fuller on pace for record touchdown receptions

With an assistance from rookie quarterback Deshaun Watson, Texans’ receivers DeAndre Hopkins and Will Fuller are on torrid paces for touchdown receptions.

Hopkins and Fuller are taking advantage of Watson becoming the first quarterback to throw 19 touchdown passes in his first seven games. He’s tied for the NFL lead with Philadelphia’s Carson Wentz.

Hopkins and Fuller have seven touchdown receptions apiece.

Since returning from surgery to repair a broken collarbone, Fuller has caught his touchdown passes in four games. Since 1991, he’s the first player in the NFL to have seven touchdowns on 11 catches.
