Fuller can drop if he also catches 100+ yds and a score every week.
In fact, that was the problem with the offense in the first half against the Bears. It's like Godsey/O'Brien/Osweiler or some combination thereof just turtled once the early interception was thrown (or really just stripped from DeAndre's hands).
Everything about the offense seemed to be meant to stretch the field wide and not deep. It opened some running lanes for Lamar Miller in the first half - he had some nice gaps between the tackles - but it played right into the Bears gameplan to take away the Texans deep speed for which they obviously had no answer. The Bears were ready for the off-tackle rushes.
Here's hoping Godsey and O'Brien allow the offense to stretch downfield in spite of the occasional drop. Should they keep doing this out of a 3-wide set, L Miller will still find room with 7 in the box.
