The Houston Texans' passing game lacked pizzazz in their narrow Wild Card win against the Buffalo Bills, and the absence of speed demon Will Fuller likely had something to do with that.

While the deep threat was not healthy enough to play against Buffalo due to a groin injury, he is expected to play in the divisional matchup against Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs on the road at Arrowhead Stadium.

Fuller, a former first-round pick out of Notre Dame, has recorded 49 catches for 670 yards and three touchdowns in 11 games. His speed is legit, and he gives the Texans a whole new look on the offensive side of the ball when the fourth-year wideout is out there, though he's struggled with injuries throughout his career.

One knock against Fuller is that he's had a problem with drops of late. He turned in his worst performance of the year against the Chiefs in Arrowhead, dropping three potential touchdowns, so he will be looking for redemption on Sunday.

If Fuller manages to sneak some Stickum into the stadium and fix his drop issue, the Texans could get their field-stretching weapon back in business as they look to upset Mahomes and the Chiefs.
