When the Texans' front office decided it was finally time to move on from the Andre Johnson era in Houston, it didn't mean they were also moving on from their current offensive scheme. No, instead it just meant that they needed someone to do Andre's job better than the aging wideout could do himself.

And after trading a fifth-rounder, a seventh-rounder, and DeVier Posey to the Jets for the right to move up 12 spots and take former Arizona State wide receiver Jaelen Strong with the 70th overall pick in the draft, the Texans may have found just the man for that job.

The loss of Andre Johnson not only vacated the 147 targets afforded to the former Texans receiver in 2014, but also removed from Houston the large target the 6' 3", 230 pound wideout provided to Houston signal callers. But with Jaelen Strong now in town, the immense catch radius afforded by his 6' 2" height alongside his 42-inch vertical, and 32.5-inch arms allows him to fill-in at least the latter role for this team adequately.

Beyond this, as he demonstrated in college, his strong hands and body control allow him to snatch contested balls out of the air. These abilities give Strong the opportunity not only to take over the possession receiver role that Johnson once held but also gives the Texans the valid red zone target this team has been lacking following Andre's departure.

Some argue that given the breakout season DeAndre Hopkins enjoyed last year, many of the targets Johnson once soaked up will now swing his way. But given the fact that Hopkins already tallied 127 targets himself last season, the number of targets he could tack onto this figure are fairly limited.

Assuming all else being equal, even if DeAndre Hopkins maintains the 9.3 targets per game he averaged in the second half of last season for the entire 2015 season -- which would be good for 148 total targets over 16 games -- this would still leave roughly 126 targets up for grabs on this team.

But with a 'Brady Bunch' of sorts at quarterback with former Tom Brady backups Ryan Mallett and Brian Hoyer competing for the starting job, questions abound whether either player can sustain a relevant fantasy option in the passing game beyond Hopkins for this team.

So while Strong presents a better option over teammate Cecil Shorts in Houston's aerial attack, his value may be limited due to the run-heavy nature of Houston's offense and question marks at the quarterback position. However, given the large volume of targets Strong may inherit, the former Sun Devil may have some late-round value in points per reception formats.
