Finishes season strong Coutee caught six of seven targets for 90 yards in Sunday's 41-38 loss to the Titans.

Impact Coutee was on the receiving end of two long plays: a 42-yard catch in the first quarter and a 29-yard reception in the final minute of the game that set up Houston's final score. The 23-year-old wide receiver resuscitated a moribund career during the second half of the season when injuries and personnel decisions opened an opportunity for him. Over the final seven games, Coutee caught 31 of 38 targets for 389 yards (12.5 YPC) with three touchdowns. There was still an issue with fumbles, but Coutee's contributions was one of the few positives the Texans experienced in 2020. The 2018 fourth-round draft pick has one year left on his contract and gave the new regime -- a new head coach and general manager is the first order of business during the offseason -- something to consider as they construct the 2021 version of the Texans.

Cleared for Week 17 action Coutee (foot) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Titans.

Impact After following up limited practices Wednesday and Thursday with a full workout Friday, Coutee looks to be in the clear to handle his usual starting role in the season finale. Interim head coach Romeo Crennel hasn't suggested that any of the team's healthy players will be rested as the 4-11 Texans close out their season, so look for Coutee to remain a key part of the passing attack. Over his last four outings, Coutee has played no fewer than 63 percent of the Texans' offensive snaps, turning in a 21-272-2 line on 24 targets during that span.

Limited Wednesday Coutee (foot) was listed as limited in Wednesday's practice estimate.

Impact Houston conducted a walkthrough, but Coutee would have been limited had the team held a practice session. The slot receiver was also limited by a foot injury last Wednesday but returned to full practice participation by Thursday. If Coutee follows a similar pattern this week, he should shed his injury label in time to help the Texans play spoiler against the playoff hopeful Titans in Sunday's season finale.

Makes five grabs in loss Coutee brought in all five targets for 54 yards in the Texans' 37-31 loss to the Bengals on Sunday. He also committed a fumble, but it was recovered by the offense.

Impact Coutee checked in second in receptions, receiving yards and targets to Brandin Cooks, serving as a dependable complementary option for Deshaun Watson in the high-scoring loss. The third-year speedster has been solid since Randall Cobb (IR-toe) and Will Fuller (suspension) were sidelined, posting a 21-272-2 line over his last four contests. Coutee will look to finish off the campaign in strong fashion at the expense of the Titans in a Week 17 divisional battle.

Returns to full practice Coutee (foot) returned to a full practice Thursday.

Impact Coutee was limited Wednesday, but his return to a full session Thursday paves the way for him to be out there Sunday against the 3-10-1 Bengals. With the Texans' wide receiver corps having thinned out as the season has progressed, Coutee's settled into a steady enough role to merit fantasy lineup consideration over the past five weeks. In that span, he's caught 20 of 26 targets for 245 yards to go along with three TDs.

Limited to start week Coutee (foot) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Impact The Texans may simply be taking a cautious approach to Coutee's health, given the team's worrying lack of depth at the wide receiver position. The third-year pro logged a costly fumble during last weekend's loss to the Colts, but interim coach Romeo Crennel has already made clear that Coutee will be back on the field Week 16 versus the Bengals. He's either scored or exceeded 100 yards in each of Houston's last three games.

Needs to shake off fumble Coutee will be back on the field Week 16 against the Bengals after his fumble cost the Texans a chance to upset the Colts last week, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports....

Impact Unlike earlier in the season when Coutee's fumble against the Ravens was returned for a touchdown -- a mistake that resulted in a benching for several weeks under former head coach Bill O'Brien -- the third-year wideout will be back on the field Sunday. Coutee has been a regular member of the wideout rotation the last five weeks due to injuries and personnel decisions, catching 20 of 26 targets for 245 yards (12.3 YPC, 49.0 YPG) with three touchdowns. Houston's Week 16 opponent, the Jets, rank 25th in fantasy points allowed to wide receivers.

Has costly fumble Coutee recorded five receptions on seven targets for 53 yards and a touchdown in Week 15 against the Colts.

Impact Coutee saw the majority of his volume in the first half, when he hauled in three receptions for 31 yards. Even so, he played a key role in the Texans' comeback effort by recording a nine-yard touchdown that knotted the game at 20 midway through the fourth quarter. Coutee appeared poised to re-tie the game on the Texans' following drive, but he was stripped of the ball at the two-yard line to clinch the Colts' victory. Despite the error, Coutee should continue to get plenty of looks in Week 16 against Cincinnati, although ball security has been a recurring problem for him throughout his career.

Watson all by himself as Texans lose 36-7 to Bears Deshaun Watson did everything he could for the Houston Texans but it wasn’t enough

Salvages day with TD Coutee (knee) brought in all three targets for 24 yards and a touchdown in the Texans' 36-7 loss to the Bears on Sunday.

Impact With Brandin Cooks' (foot/neck) absence leading to Deshaun Watson being without his top three receivers from the beginning of the season -- Will Fuller (suspension) and Randall Cobb (IR, toe) were also unavailable -- the opportunity for a significant workload appeared to be there for Coutee. However, that ultimately failed to materialize, with Coutee checking in behind all of Jordan Akins, Steven Mitchell and Chad Hansen in targets. Coutee's five-yard touchdown grab midway through the second quarter did salvage the day for fantasy managers counting on him in their postseason contests, but they'll hope for much better all-around production from the third-year wideout in a Week 15 divisional matchup versus the Colts.

Suits up Sunday Coutee (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Bears.

Impact The Texans' already-depleted wide receiver corps will also be without Brandin Cooks (foot/neck) on Sunday, so as long as Coutee avoids any-in-game setbacks, he figures to be a focal part of the team's Week 14 passing attack, with Chad Hansen also in line to see expanded opportunities.

DECEMBER 13, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

On track for Week 14 Coutee (knee), who is listed as questionable, is expected to play Sunday at Chicago, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact The 23-year-old received the questionable tag despite putting in full practice sessions Thursday and Friday, so it's no surprise he's likely to suit up versus the Bears. Coutee erupted with eight catches for 141 yards last week and should continue to see a significant snap share given the recent thinning of Houston's receiving corps. Fellow wideout Brandin Cooks (foot/neck) is also expected to play despite being labeled questionable.

DECEMBER 13, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Practices fully, listed as questionable Coutee (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears.

Impact As is fellow wideout Brandin Cooks (foot/neck), who was limited at practice this week. However, given that Coutee was listed as a full practice participant both Thursday and Friday after logging a limited session Wednesday, we suspect that he should be a go for Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. With the Texans' receiving corps having thinned out of late, Coutee, who caught eight of his nine targets for 141 yards in a Week 13 loss to the Colts, should continue to be busy this weekend, assuming he suits up.
