The Houston Texans have selected RB Jawhar Jordan with the No. 205 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Pro Bowl WR Stefon Diggs has reworked his contract with the Houston Texans, clearing out his final three years (2025-2027) to essentially create a one-year deal. (Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The Texans are converting his future injury-guaranteed money into guaranteed money in 2024, giving him a one-year pay raise and setting him up for free agency in 2025. Diggs, who appeared to lose a step — for one reason or another — in 2023 has an incentive to perform in 2024 for a new payday. However, the Texans are not eligible for compensatory-pick compensation for Diggs if he leaves due to the nature of his restructured deal.

The Houston Texans and TE Dalton Schultz have reached terms on a three-year, $36 million deal ($23.5 million guaranteed) to keep the veteran TE paired with QB C.J. Stroud. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: With Stroud's emergence, the name of the game for Houston is to build around him, and that includes giving him weapons to work with.

He finished 2023 as the half-PPR TE11.
