Keke Coutee Fantasy

The Indianapolis Colts have elevated wide receiver Keke Coutee to their active roster ahead of a Week 2 matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars. This move comes shortly after the announcement that Michael Pittman Jr. (quad) will miss Sunday's contest with a quad injury. Coutee had some success as a member of the Houston Texans from 2018-2020 and could see some opportunities this week in an unproven Colts wide receiver room that will also be without rookie Alec Pierce (concussion). Regardless, Coutee is not on the fantasy radar for this week nor going forward.

Houston Texans wide receiver Keke Coutee was cut from the team on Tuesday. Coming off a strong finish to the 2020 season, Coutee was believed to be ready to step into a larger role in Houston's offense, particularly with Will Fuller out of the picture, though that won't be the case. The 24-year-old has had issues with fumbling, with four of them in 23 career games, though his potential ability was never in doubt, as he ranks seventh in yards per route run among receivers selected in the 2018 draft. Houston is likely to add to their receiving group but rookie Nico Collins looks poised to step into a fairly large role right away alongside Brandin Cooks, Anthony Miller, and Chris Conley. There should be little threat to Cooks' target share in this offense, so he looks like a nice value at his WR39 ADP in half-PPR formats, even without Deshaun Watson throwing him passes.

The Houston Texans have a lot of new faces at wide receiver this season, but the battle for slot snaps is expected to be between two players who were on last year's team, with Randall Cobb and Keke Coutee competing for those minutes. Cobb was limited to 10 games last season because of injury, catching 38 passes for 441 yards and three touchdowns. Coutee, who'll be entering his last year under contract, has had an uneven Texans career, but being freed from head coach Bill O'Brien allowed him to get snaps at the end of the year, with Coutee finishing with 33 catches for 400 yards and three touchdowns. It's unclear who has the lead in this position battle at this point, but whoever wins out will have some sleeper appeal in full PPR leagues.
