Moulds to Texans

With the Houston Texans acquiring Eric Moulds, reportedly for a fourth or fifth round draft choice, this gives the Texans an opportunity to field a very talented, versatile offense in the upcoming season. With the expectation being that the Texans will select Reggie Bush with the first overall pick in the draft, the Texans will have added the aforementioned Bush and Moulds. The fantasy impact on Moulds may not be significant as the players that could benefit the most from these moves are number one receiver Andre Johnson and quarterback David Carr.

The additions of Moulds, along with the assumed selection of Bush, would surround Carr and Johnson with enough talent to make a significant fantasy splash. Johnson, who flashed his potential in the 04-05 season with his 1,142 yards to go along with six touchdowns, could regain those numbers with Moulds, Bush, and returning running back Domanick Davis drawing the attention of opposing defenses. In David Carr's case, surrounding a quarterback with more talent is always a good thing, and he has an opportunity to significantly improve on his numbers from last year. 3000 yards passing and 20 plus touchdown passes are very attainable for Carr this year now that he has options. You can expect Moulds, who will be 33 years old when the season starts, to be the number two receiver, and end up with numbers similar to last year when he posted 814 yards and 4 touchdowns.
