Got a question about the Texans?
Life in general?
Drew Dougherty's your guy.
He's been with the Texans since 2009 and is chock full of meaningful, as well as generally useless, information. Fire away by clicking HERE.
Julio Vasquez: Dear Drew, Are the Texans going to trade for another wide receiver?
DD: We'll see, Julio. Executive Vice President/General Manager Nick Caserio has never been shy about making trades, working the waiver wire or signing free agents. With the loss of Stefon Diggs for the season, there's always a chance the Texans will look for help elsewhere in the form of a trade.
But there's also the good chance they stand pat and roll with the current crop of wideouts. Nico Collins will be eligible to return from injury after this contest at the Jets, and there are plenty of young veterans in Tank Dell, Xavier Hutchinson and John Metchie, III, as well as the experienced Robert Woods and Steven Sims, Jr.
Head Coach DeMeco Ryans singled out Hutchinson and Metchie, in particular, and what they did in the win over the Colts.
"One thing that sticks out, 'Hutch', 'Metch', all those guys just from our last game just showing guys winning their one-on-one opportunities," Ryans said. "'Hutch' going to the ground there making a tough catch. Metchie finding a way to win in an off-schedule moment there in the game and come up with a big catch. That's all we ask is win your one-on-one and make the plays that you are supposed to make. If guys do that collectively as a team, we will be just fine."

Felix Garcia: When is Nico Collins coming back?
DD: It could be as soon as this next game after the Thursday-nighter in New Jersey. If he's healthy and ready, Collins could come off injured reserve and suit up as soon as a week from Sunday night when the Texans host the Detroit Lions.
Jonathan Rosales: Dear Drew, Can we please get an update on Christian Harris?
DD: The third-year linebacker remains on IR. He was on the sidelines with the team during Sunday's win over Indianapolis, and continues to work towards a return to play.
Alvin Quiroz: Dear Drew, how many likes would it take on any social media platform for you to take a picture with me and 2 friends of mine that are season ticket members for the Texans and always enjoy watching you on the big screen?
DD: Zero, Broseph. Just holler at me on gameday if you see me and I'll gladly snap some photos with you. Thanks a lot, and hope to see you all a week from Sunday.
*Jake Lightfoot: Dear Drew, Why are we getting smoked in the Smuckers PB&J race? I know we have a lot to be happy about with the 6-2 record but we're eating like rookies! *DD: Those numbers are likely skewed, because there's a good chance the Texans players are eating fresher PB&J's made by the award-winning Texans Café staff at NRG Stadium. Take those stats with a grain of salt, er, spoonful of peanut butter, and remember that the Texans are eating the primo stuff.
