Texans released RB Darius Walker, RB Marcel Shipp, S Glenn Earl, WR Mark Simmons, QB Shane Boyd, and DLs Gabe Long and Jesse Nading.
Walker averaged 4.6 YPC last year and Houston figures to keep him on speed dial, but he couldn’t make a weak Texans backfield. The Texans will roll with Ahman Green, Chris Taylor, and Steve Slaton at RB to begin the season. All three are worth late-round fantasy fliers.
