Keke Coutee

Texans WR Keke Coutee has recently drawn high praise from QB DeShaun Watson.

Fantasy Impact

Watson spoke glowingly of Coutee, noting that when the receiver is on the field, “you have to find a way to get him the ball.” Coutee played only six games in 2018 as a rookie due to health issues, but he racked up an impressive 11-128-1 line in two starts and grabbed 11 receptions in his debut performance in Week 4. Fellow wideout Will Fuller V has missed 17 games in his first three seasons and is recovering from a torn ACL suffered last year. His durability is obviously a concern, and he may not be 100 percent to start the season. Fuller’s health and Watson’s comments make Coutee an interesting fantasy prospect for 2019, especially in PPR formats, where he may push for fringe-WR3 value.

Keke Coutee caught 11-of-14 targets for 110 yards and a touchdown in the Texans' Wild Card loss to the Colts.

Fantasy Impact

Coutee has been dealing with a hamstring injury and made his first appearance since Week 12 and just third overall since Week 7. But the lack of being on the field did not affect Coutee who had a big game on Saturday. Coutee could be a sleeper at wide receiver going into 2019 if he can stay healthy.

ESPN's Adam Schefter is reporting Texans WR Keke Coutee (hamstring) is active for the Saturday's Wild Card Round matchup against the Colts.

Fantasy Impact

Coutee will play in Saturday's Wild Card game against the Colts. With Demaryius Thomas obviously out, Coutee could be in line for increased targets in his first action since Week 12.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport is reporting Texans WR Keke Coutee (hamstring) is expected to play in Saturday's Wild Card Round bout with the Colts.

Fantasy Impact

Although Coutee was deemed a game-time decision by HC Bill O'Brien earlier in the week, the ailing wideout was a full participant in practice all week and is on track to play against the Colts. Absent from the lineup since Week 12, Coutee's return couldn't have come at a better time. With Demaryius Thomas out, Coutee could have a prime role in the offense on Saturday in his first career playoff appearance. Coutee hung an 11/109/0 line on the Colts the last time they played, which was the rookie wideout's regular-season debut back in Week 4.

The Texans say that Keke Coutee has a shot to play against the Colts this weekend, but he'll come down to a game-time decision.

Fantasy Impact

Coutee has been out for the last few weeks due to a hamstring injury. There was hope that he'd be back in time for the playoffs, but it's not clear if that will be the case in the opener. Houston could use help at WR with the injury to Demaryius Thomas. If he's active, Coutee figures to be in line for significant snaps and targets as the Texans play to continue their season.
