#86 James Casey
 Pos: Tight End
NFL Team: HOU
Injury: Day To Day
Injury Type: knee
Experience: 0
College: Rice
Height: 75
Weight: 240
Born: 9/22/1984
SUMMARY
Tight End Rank: #51   
Overall: #415


The former baseball prospect is older than most rookies (25 shortly after the season starts), but is an athletic player with upside. The Texans took him based on his potential because he saw little work as a tight end in college. Casey played seven different positions in college, making him a versatile option for the Texans. He could line up all over the field. Casey is an athlete, but could take some time adjusting to the NFL. His biggest contributions could come on special teams this season.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
Casey is someone to watch down the road, but don't count on him getting many chances in the passing game this season. Go with other options.
