Isaiah Coulter Fantasy Stats

Houston Texans wide receiver Isaiah Coulter won't play in Week 13 against the Colts. A popular pick to see his first NFL action in place of the suspended Will Fuller V, it looks like someone out of Chad Hansen and Steven Mitchell will see snaps in three-receiver sets with Brandin Cooks and Keke Coutee. Neither Hansen nor Mitchell have much fantasy upside in this contest.

While the matchup isn't great against the Indianapolis Colts, Houston Texans wide receiver Isaiah Coulter has appeal in some formats this week under the assumption that he'll take over as the team's second outside receiver now that Will Fuller V is suspended. Coulter -- who had been on the IR with a neck injury -- has never appeared in an NFL game, but necessity will get him on the field this week barring an injury setback. If you need to take a big swing in a 16-team league or want to get weird with things in DFS, Coulter's got intrigue.

Houston Texans wide receiver Isaiah Coulter's NFL debut will have to wait. Despite being added to the active roster this past week, Coulter is a healthy scratch against the Jaguars. It's likely that Coulter joined the roster on the chance that the team made wide receiver trades and had a sudden need for the rookie speedster, but with nothing materializing before this week's trade deadline, Coulter is likely going to be a complete non-factor over the rest of the season.

Houston Texans rookie wide receiver Isaiah Coulter's "speed and fluidity" have stood out during training camp, says Aaron Reiss of The Athletic. Though not expected to have much of a role in 2020, the Rhode Island product could be looking at a key role in 2021, as Houston has multiple receivers entering the final year of their deal. If you're a dynasty manager and you've got room for a dart throw rookie, Coulter has upside in a vertical Bill O'Brien offense next season. He shouldn't be on the radar in redraft leagues right now.

With the 171st pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the Houston Texans added a young wide receiver in Rhode Islands Isaiah Coulter. After trading away DeAndre Hopkins, Houston was expected to go receiver early in this draft before they signed Randall Cobb and traded for Brandin Cooks. With those additions, the team waited until Round 5 to approach the position, adding Coulter, a big-play receiver with good hands. His chances of playing a role in 2020 will depend on the health of the receivers ahead of him, which is always a question when you have players like Cooks and Will Fuller V.
