Houston Texans 2024 Season Outlook

The sky is the limit for DeMeco Ryans' team. Houston was expected to be one of the worst teams in the league during the 2023 season, but on the back of a fantastic rookie season for C. J. Stroud, they not only were able to make the playoffs. They also won the division and won a postseason game, before ultimately losing out to Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens.

Expectations are going to be even higher now. While they didn't have a first-round pick available, they were able to get some good values in the 2024 draft – but more importantly, they bolstered their wide receiver group even more with the addition of Stefon Diggs via a trade with the Buffalo Bills.

On the defense, Will Anderson Jr. and Derek Stingley compose the core – both were top three picks in the previous two rounds and quickly became instrumental to the group. Anderson needs to have at least 10 sacks for Houston to become a true competitor at the top of the conference.

At the end of the day, though, all eyes will be on C. J. Stroud. The quarterback is not expected to be learning much more in 2024 – he's already touted as an MVP candidate, and with good reason. This is a team that needs to take the next step and become a true competitor.
