DeAndre Carter Fantasy

The Houston Texans signed impending exclusive-rights free-agent wide receiver Deandre Carter to a one-year contract extension on Wednesday. Carter, 26, has been with the team since 2018 when he was claimed off waivers from the Eagles. He has 31 catches for 357 yards and has returned 38 punts and 23 kicks in his two seasons with Houston. The soon-to-be 27-year-old had just 11 receptions for 162 yards and no touchdowns while filling in for Keke Coutee and Will Fuller as they battled injuries in 2019. However, Carter is more useful for his real-life special teams contributions than he is in fantasy.

Houston Texans wide receiver Deandre Carter had three catches for 40 yards in Saturday's preseason win over the Detroit Lions. He was the team leader in receiving yards and tied for the lead in receptions. Carter is currently leading the battle to be Keke Coutee's backup in the slot, and while his ceiling isn't very high, he could have some DFS appeal in the event that Coutee (ankle) misses any regular season action.

Houston Texans wide receiver Deandre Carter appears to be in the lead for the backup slot receiver spot in Houston behind Keke Coutee, who is currently sidelined with an ankle injury. Carter's faced a heavy challenge from Steven Mitchell for the role, but so far looks to be holding Mitchell off. If Coutee misses regular season time, Carter could have some appeal in deeper leagues, though he's much more enticing as a low-cost DFS option than he is as rosterable re-draft player.
