Danielle Hunter makes league history? 10 bold Texans predictions for the 2026 season
Is this the year the Houston Texans finally claim the title of AFC champions? Here are our 10 bold predictions that get increasingly bolder ahead of Sunday's battle against the Bills
1. Houston Texans aim to lead the NFL in total yards and scoring defense. The addition of Reed Blankenship, Jadeveon Clowney, Logan Hall and rookie Kayden McDonald to the defense should bolster their efforts. They are likely to surpass last season's yards and scoring per game totals. 2. Quarterback C.J. Stroud is expected to throw a career-high 33 touchdowns.
He aims to secure a new deal, potentially worth $61 million annually. The offensive line improvements and the emergence of David Montgomery will contribute to his success. 3. Rookie receiver Kayshon Boutte is set to lead the Texans in receiving touchdowns. He will be a key factor in the team's red zone offense, complementing Pro Bowler Nico Collins.
4. The Texans are on track to break their franchise single-season sack record of 49 sacks. With a strong core of players like Will Anderson Jr., Danielle Hunter, Jadeveon Clowney, and DeMeco Ryans, they aim to surpass this milestone. 5. The Texans are predicted to clinch the No. 1 seed in the AFC. Their strong divisional record, coupled with the absence of playoff games in Houston's past, adds to the probability of a dominant season.
