Fantasy Football Player Notes

Fuller injured his hamstring against the Colts and is set to miss several weeks. He provided one enormous game but otherwise, was incredibly hit or miss. While he should come back in time for the fantasy playoffs, the initial estimates suggest that the injury is a multiple-week one. Make other arrangements if you own Fuller.

Some may be thinking they're getting a steal by acquiring Cooks for next to nothing, but he's closer to a drop than he is to a must-start over the last two weeks. He'll play the Cowboys and 49ers, two zone-heavy schemes that don't allow big plays to receivers very often.

Stills has reportedly been traded to the Texans. Unless there is a significant injury to Will Fuller, Keke Coutee, or both, then Stills will have little fantasy impact this year. If room opens up in the receiving group, he'll be a deep-league draft pick or free agent add, but nothing more.

Coutee was exciting in limited action last year, averaging roughly seven targets and nearly 50 yards per game, with a strong playoff performance thrown in. Deshaun Watson talked up Coutee this offseason, and he certainly looked like a breakout candidate. Unfortunately, Coutee's bugaboo has been injuries, like his chronic hamstring injury last year, and he sustained an ankle injury in the Texans' first preseason game and had to be carted off. The injury is reportedly not serious, though it seems like it could put his availability for the opener in doubt. Bump Coutee down your draft boards just a little, but don't go overboard just yet.
