I remember Najee Harris being touted over JT as a potential league winner (especially with Wentz's injury coming into the season the outlook on the Colts offense wasn't great), and whilst Cooper Kupp along with Robert Woods were predicted to benefit from Stafford, I think there was more hype around Ceedee Lamb and Calvin Ridley as being the big break out receivers. Some people had Penny and Michel (after he signed for the Rams) down as sneaky sleepers. I don't think any of those in the top category did. I'm trying to think if any of these guys got "league winner" tag at the start of the season. There were also a few guys who scored big in the playoffs/Championship without necessarily being season-long studs: I think there were a handful of guys who really outperformed their draft position and gave you a season-long edge: 19, 2021, in Jacksonville.Every pre-season in the fantasy pods and on this sub certain players get talked up as "potential league winners" but who really warranted this title in 2021?

But if you must know, linebacker Kamu Grugier-Hill was the Texans' top scoring defender this year, followed by Desmond King and Christian Kirksey. For the purposes of this ranking, we're using standard scoring rules (sorry, point-per-reception lovers) and not including individual defensive players. Now that the fantasy season is over and leagues have been decided, here's a look at which Texans players scored the most points this season.
