Keke Coutee

Keke Coutee is inactive for the Texans' Week 14 game against the Colts.

Fantasy Impact

Coutee was questionable coming in but there were reports that he might need another week with his hamstring injury. Demaryius Thomas should continue to see his usual handful of targets, and Deshaun Watson should be just fine without Coutee.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport is reporting Texans WR Keke Coutee (hamstring) is not expected to play in Week 14.

Fantasy Impact

While Rapoport is suggesting that there is a slight chance Coutee could play if he was impressive enough during his pregame workout, he also states that the plan was for the rookie wideout to sit out this week anyway. With the postseason on the horizon and the Texans rolling, it would be smart to hold out Coutee to give him some extra time to heal. Although an underwhelming Demaryius Thomas will continue to be the prime beneficiary of Coutee's absence, it doesn't mean he is a recommended fantasy play. Thomas' volatility makes him too difficult to trust in the fantasy playoffs.

Oft-injured Texans' rookie wideout Keke Coutee will not play in Week 13 versus the Cleveland Browns. Coutee has been plagued by a bum hamstring all season and will once again be sidelined by the ailment.

Fantasy Impact

This has been a recurring issue for Coutee, who is likely to be rested until he and the club feel he's close to 100%. Coutee hasn't been much of a factor since he debuted, so he can safely be dropped in redraft leagues. Demaryius Thomas and DeAndre Carter should see a few extra looks in the passing game.

Keke Coutee is going to be a game-time decision Week 13, according to the Texans.

Fantasy Impact

Coutee aggravated his hamstring injury last week, and it will come down to warmups to determine if he'll play against the Browns. He's a risky play due to the injury even if he's active. If he's not, that should mean more targets for DeAndre Hopkins and Demaryius Thomas.

Keke Coutee suffered a hamstring injury Week 12, but he's "trending toward" playing Week 13 against the Browns.

Fantasy Impact

There's still a good bit of question here as to whether or not Coutee will be active against Cleveland, but this is good news for owners. Still, given the injury and Coutee's inconsistent role in the Texans' offense, he's likely best left on the bench this week.
