The Texans need to address a couple of pressing needs this off season, most notably their defense and second wide receiver position. Head coach Gary Kubiak was brought back mostly because of the pending labor issue. Now that he's back, he's brought in Wade Phillips to run the defense. With Phillips, the Texans will make that tough transition from the 4-3 defense to a 3-4 defense. There will be continued growing pains for the Texans defense as they transition to their new defense (without the benefit of off season workouts).

2011 Fantasy Football Scouting Report: Matt Schaub, QB, Houston Texans
2010 Stats | 4370 yds. | 24 TDs | 12 INTs |
2011 Projected | 4290 yds. | 26 TDs | 14 INTs |
If the Texans find a second wide receiver to play opposite Andre Johnson, Schaub will be even more dangerous. Right now, Schaub is putting up good numbers with Johnson as his only real target. A healthy Owen Daniel should help Schaub's production in 2011. The emergence of running back Arian Foster will help take the pressure off Schaub and open up more of the passing game.
