Deandre Carter 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.

Houston Texans wide receiver Deandre Carter has been taken off the PUP list and is practicing with the team. Carter's actual injury issue is still unclear, but his return to practice is good news for Houston. Carter should serve as the team's primary returner this year, and if Keke Coutee (ankle) misses regular season action, Carter will fill in as the slot receiver. He's not going to be much of a fantasy option outside of DFS contests as a Coutee replacement, though.
