Hutchinson caught his lone target for nine yards in Saturday's 27-19 loss to Kansas City in Week 16. Hutchinson was on the field for 34 offensive snaps -- the most in his last four outings -- as John Metchie (shoulder) was inactive for the game. An injury that forced Tank Dell (kneecap) out of Saturday's game could grant more opportunities for Hutchinson going forward, although Robert Woods (34 snaps) was the main beneficiary of that injury Week 16.

Hutchinson caught his lone target for nine yards in Saturday's 27-19 loss to Kansas City in Week 16. Hutchinson was on the field for 34 offensive snaps -- the most in his last four outings -- as John Metchie (shoulder) was inactive for the game. An injury that forced Tank Dell (kneecap) out of Saturday's game could grant more opportunities for Hutchinson going forward, although Robert Woods (34 snaps) was the main beneficiary of that injury Week 16.
Hutchinson caught his lone target for 13 yards in Sunday's 20-12 win over the Dolphins in Week 15. Hutchinson was back in action after missing one game due to a shoulder injury. He was on the field for just eight offensive snaps and has slipped behind John Metchie (21 snaps) and Robert Woods (24 snaps) on the depth chart.
Hutchinson (shoulder) practiced in full Wednesday. Hutchinson missed Week 13 with the injury, but Houston is now coming off its bye week, and he appears ready to play Sunday against the Dolphins. With Nico Collins back healthy alongside Tank Dell, Hutchinson will vie for wideout snaps with John Metchie and Robert Woods.
Hutchinson (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Texans. Hutchinson will miss his first game of the season after he was a limited participant in practice throughout the week due to the shoulder injury. With Hutchinson donning street clothes Week 13, Robert Woods and Jared Wayne will serve as the Texans' depth receivers behind the starting wideout trio of Nico Collins, Tank Dell and John Metchie.
Hutchinson (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. Hutchinson's availability is in question following a trio of limited practices. He failed to capitalize while seeing added playing time during Nico Collins' five-game absence due to a hamstring injury earlier this season, as Hutchinson has just 70 receiving yards through 12 games. Even if Hutchinson suits up, he isn't expected to play a prominent role in a Houston receiving corps led by a healthy Collins.
Hutchinson (shoulder) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday. It's his first time with any injury-related practice limitations this season. Hutchinson didn't do much with his additional playing time while Nico Collins and Stefon Diggs (knee) both were absent, and with Collins back in action the past two weeks it's been Hutchinson as the odd man out while John Metchie serves as the No. 3 receiver. Hutchinson played just eight snaps on offense in a 32-27 loss to the Titans on Sunday, so there won't be much change to Houston's gameplan if he's absent or limited against the Jaguars this weekend.
Hutchinson did not secure his lone target and played eight snaps in Sunday's 32-27 loss to the Titans in Week 12. Hutchinson's time on the field took a hit when Nico Collins returned last week, and his usage declined further in Collins' second game back. The eight snaps were a season low for Hutchinson, who has just seven catches on 18 targets for 70 yards.
Hutchinson was not targeted while playing 28 snaps in Monday's 34-10 win over the Cowboys in Week 11. Nico Collins' return to duty had its most significant impact on Hutchinson's workload. The second-year wideout played 67 percent of the offensive snaps while Collins was out the last five weeks, but that dropped to 44 percent (28 snaps) Monday. He also went untargeted for the first time in seven games. For now, John Metchie has emerged as the most viable third wideout in the absence of Stefon Diggs (IR, knee).
Hutchinson caught two of four targets for six yards in Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Lions in Week 10. The targets were a season high for Hutchinson, who topped Houston's wideouts with 57 snaps. It was the second consecutive week he's paced the group in playing time -- primarily due to injuries to Nico Collins (IR, hamstring) and Stefon Diggs (IR, knee) -- but it hasn't translated into anything useful for fantasy rosters. Hutchinson has two catches on seven targets for six yards in those two games. If anyone has emerged as a threat, it's John Metchie, who has eight catches on 12 targets for 103 yards and one touchdown over that time. Collins is likely to return in Week 11, which will put a damper on the playing time for either Hutchinson or Metchie, or both.
