A 2023 sixth-round pick, Hutchinson has just 635 receiving yards and three TDs across 49 regular-season games, but he's played enough snaps to earn a proven performance escalator for the final year of his rookie contract in 2026, bumping his salary up to $3.7 million. This might not be the blessing it seems, with Hutchinson's lack of receiving production making him a potential cap casualty at the new figure. However, Hutchinson's outlook improved in mid-August when teammate Jayden Higgins suffered an ACL tear. The Texans traded for Kayshon Boutte a week later, but Hutchinson may still end up in the mix for part-time snaps.
