Nate Washington has had his fair share of big games for the Texans this season, including a 105-yard day in Week 1 against the Chiefs and a 9-catch, 127-yard, 2-touchdown day in Week 7 against the Dolphins. With Cecil Shorts out due to a hamstring injury in Week 16, Washington had another nice day for Houston, reeling in 3 of 5 targets for 42 yards and a touchdown against the Titans' 29th-ranked passing defense.
Given Washington's decent role in the Texans' offense sans Shorts and a Week 17 matchup with the Jaguars' 21st-ranked passing defense, he is a decent play in Houston's regular season finale.
