Aims to stay on the field
Coutee's top goal heading into the coming campaign is to play the Texans' full slate of games, Aaron Reiss of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The Texans won all six regular-season games Coutee played in last season, a span in which the 2018 fourth-rounder caught 28 passes for 287 yards and a TD. Now presumably past the nagging hamstring injury that hampered him as a rookie, Coutee will direct his focus to preparing for his second NFL season. Last year, much of his offseason routine centered on preparing for the pre-draft process, an approach that wasn't optimal relative to his transition to the pro game. With Will Fuller (knee) on…read more

Stars in featured role
Coutee (hamstring) caught 11 of 14 targets for 110 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's 21-7 loss to the Colts.
Analysis: Coutee stepped into a featured role with DeAndre Hopkins limited by a shoulder injury, finishing with a new career high in receiving yardage. He didn't make many big gains, but a whopping target share and a six-yard touchdown catch in the fourth quarter helped him to a huge performance. Coutee was crippled by injuries during his rookie season, but he flashed his potential -- as well as a strong rapport with DeShaun Watson -- on several occasions. If he can remain healthy in 2019, Coutee is a…read more

Returns to action
Coutee (hamstring) is listed as active Saturday against the Colts.
Analysis: The expectation of active status for Coutee has come to pass, per Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle and Adam Schefter of ESPN. Coutee thus will be making his first appearance since Week 12 and just his third overall since Week 7. In addition to working behind target hog DeAndre Hopkins, Coutee may be hard-pressed to produce against a Colts defense that allowed just three wide receiving corps to surpass 100 yards through the air over the final eight games of the regular season.

Good to go Saturday
Coutee (hamstring) is expected to be active for Saturday's wild-card matchup with the Colts, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Coutee was a full participant in practice Wednesday through Friday, signalling his potential return from a five-game absence due to a nagging hamstring injury. It's unclear whether Coutee will work opposite DeAndre Hopkins or if the Texans will move DeAndre Carter to the outside in order to allow Coutee to reclaim his customary role in the slot, but either case should only help a receiving corps that has lost Will Fuller (knee), and more recently, Demaryius Thomas (Achilles), to season-ending…read more

Likely to suit up Saturday
Coutee (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Saturday's wild-card matchup with the Colts, is expected to play, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Coutee has missed the Texans' last five games with the hamstring injury, a recurring issue that also sidelined the rookie for three- and two-game stretches earlier this season. Though coach Bill O'Brien labeled the wideout a game-time decision for the playoff contest when he met with the media Thursday, Coutee's outlook appears to be in a better place than it was in prior weeks. Coutee put in full practices Wednesday through Friday after previously being no better than a limited participant…read more

Questionable for wild card
Coutee (hamstring) is considered questionable for Saturday's wild-card game against the Colts. Coach Bill O'Brien noted earlier in the day that Coutee "has a shot" to play, but he'll be a true game-time decision, per Aaron Reiss of The Athletic
Analysis: Coutee has participated fully in each of the three practice sessions this week, so it's a bit surprising that his status is still considered up in the air for the contest. Given his participation level and the gravity of the game, there are multiple reasons to believe he will give it a go. Still, we likely will have to wait until game-day inactives surface to learn his fate.

Logs full practice Wednesday
Coutee (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Listed as a full participant on consecutive days, Coutee appears ready to return from his five-game absence for Saturday's playoff matchup with the Colts. He roasted the Indianapolis secondary for 11 receptions in his NFL debut back in Week 4, but he's otherwise been limited by hamstring injuries throughout his rookie season. Coutee should get most of his work in the slot, pushing DeAndre Carter either outside or to the bench.

Logs rare full practice
Coutee (hamstring) was listed as a full practice participant Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Coutee hasn't logged many full practice sessions this season and hasn't played in a game since Week 12. The upgrade suggests he's on track to return for Saturday's playoff game against the Colts, potentially facing a defense that he caught 11 passes against in his NFL debut back in Week 4. Coutee's return would likely result in a reduced role for DeAndre Carter, who caught 19 of 22 targets for 182 yards the last five weeks.

Could return for playoffs
Coach Bill O'Brien believes Coutee (hamstring) has a shot to play in Saturday's playoff game against Indianapolis, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports. "Definitely, I think he's trending that way," O'Brien said. "I think there's a shot. We have to see how he looks in practice on a day-to-day basis, but there's a shot there."
Analysis: O'Brien has essentially said the same thing about Coutee all season, consistently labeling the rookie as "day to day" even when he didn't seem to have much chance to play. The Texans took a more aggressive approach earlier in the season, eventually opting for caution when Coutee repeatedly aggravated his hamstring injury. The team could shift back to the aggressive approach for the playoffs, especially after the rookie slot receiver had the past five weeks to rest. Coutee burnt the Colts for an…read more

Won't play Sunday
Coutee (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Earns 'questionable' tag
Coutee (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Jaguars.
Analysis: Coutee's practice reps have been impacted for much of his rookie season by a lingering hamstring issue, and this week was no different, when he was limited on each of Houston's injury reports. With a questionable tag, he at least enters the weekend with a chance to play, but the Texans may opt to hold him out for a fifth consecutive contest with an eye toward the postseason. In that case, DeAndre Carter would benefit out of the slot.

Limited again in practice
The Texans listed Coutee (hamstring) as a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: The activity level represents no change from Wednesday and essentially the entire season, as Coutee has missed games on three different occasions as a result of hamstring issues. Unless he puts in a full practice Friday, there may not be a clear indication of what direction Coutee's status is trending in for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. DeAndre Carter would operate as the Texans' primary slot man if Coutee's latest hamstring setback ultimately forces a fifth consecutive absence.

Remains limited in practice
Coutee (hamstring) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Coutee's limited participation has essentially become a given, with the Texans listing him the same way for nearly every practice since September. He's already missed nine games during his rookie campaign, including Weeks 13 through 16. DeAndre Carter has proven to be a capable replacement in the slot, but Houston may feel a bit of urgency after losing Demaryius Thomas to a season-ending Achilles injury during a Week 16 loss to Philadelphia.

Will not travel to Philadelphia
Coutee (hamstring) is out heading into Sunday's contest against the Eagles.
Analysis: Both Coutee and running back Lamar Miller have been downgraded from their respective Friday questionable statuses, thus limiting the Houston offense heading into a pivotal matchup. In the case of Coutee, who will miss his fourth consecutive game, DeAndre Carter will once again take over as the slot wide receiver. In the last three weeks, Carter has been targeted 10 times, and that figure could be even higher if not for a Week 14 concussion which he sustained early in the first half.

Needs full recovery
Coutee is expected to be out until he is fully healed from his third hamstring injury of the season, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Coutee has missed a total of eight games over three separate stints while dealing with a hamstring injury that he's been unable to shake. He's questionable heading into Sunday's game, which implies he's not fully recovered. So, that means we could see DeAndre Carter fill in as the starting slot receiver against the Eagles in Week 16.

Listed as questionable for Week 16
Coutee (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles after practicing in a limited fashion all week.
Analysis: Coutee last played Nov. 26 and hasn't practiced fully since that time, making his status a tough one to predict heading into Sunday's 1 p.m. EST kickoff. Even if Coutee is cleared to play when the Texans release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to game time, it's unclear how heavily he would be utilized. DeAndre Carter is a candidate to garner snaps out of the slot if Coutee sits out again or is limited.

Remains limited at practice
Coutee (hamstring) was limited at practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Coutee, who last suited up Nov. 26, was also limited at practice last week before sitting out Saturday's game against the Jets. The 2018 fourth-round pick is therefore not a lock to suit up this weekend against the Eagles. If Coutee is out or limited this weekend, added opportunities would once again be on tap for DeAndre Carter.

Considered 'day-to-day'
Coach Bill O'Brien called Coutee (hamstring) "day-to-day" Monday, Deepi Sidhu of the Texans' official site reports.
Analysis: O'Brien and his players pay a visit to Philadelphia on Sunday to take on the suddenly relevant Eagles, a contest for which injured Texans will be considered game-time decisions. Coutee has suited up just twice in seven attempts since Week 7, so O'Brien should be taken at his word regarding the rookie wide receiver, barring his designation getting removed entirely during Week 16 prep.

Coutee (hamstring) will not play Saturday against the Jets.
Analysis: Coutee was listed as questionable on the Texans' final injury report of the week, but he did not travel to New York with the rest of his teammates, which removes any chance of him playing Week 15. While fantasy players will not have Coutee available this week, they will be afforded more time to identify a replacement.

Gets questionable tag for Saturday
Coutee (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Jets.
Analysis: Coutee was a limited participant in practices Tuesday through Thursday, which has been fairly standard activity for the wideout this season while he's dealt with a hamstring issue that has forced multi-game absences on three different occasions. The rookie's latest setback has cost him two games, but coach Bill O'Brien indicated earlier this week that Coutee is "trending toward being able to play" versus New York.

Analysis: Coach Bill O'Brien said earlier Tuesday that Coutee remains day-to-day but is trending toward playing against the Jets on Saturday, and his participation at the walkthrough falls in line with that sentiment. The 21-year-old has missed the last two games while being limited in practice, so he'll need to progress to full participation by Friday in order to have much confidence in his availability.

'Trending toward' playing Week 15
Coach Bill O'Brien relayed Tuesday that Coutee (hamstring) remains day-to-day but is "trending toward being able to play" this weekend against the Jets, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: The rookie wideout has been out for the last two games with the hamstring issue, which previously sidelined him from Weeks 1 through 3 and for Weeks 8 and 9. Since experiencing his latest setback, Coutee hasn't been able to advance beyond limited practice participation, so he may need to put in a full workout at some point before Friday to back up O'Brien's optimism.

Before his fate is decided, Coutee will stage a pregame workout, but he'll probably need to look better than expected during that session for Houston to deviate from its plan.

Analysis: This is a mere formality after coach Bill O'Brien said earlier Friday that Coutee's status for Week 14 will once again come down to a game-time decision. The rookie slot man was held out of last week's 29-13 win over the Browns, allowing DeAndre Carter to catch six passes for 32 yards while filling in as the No. 3 receiver. Coutee's status may not be clear until the Colts release their inactive list approximately 90 minutes before Sunday's 1 p.m. EST kickoff.

Coach Bill O'Brien said Friday that Coutee (hamstring) is "trending upwards," but noted the wideout's status for Sunday's tilt with the Colts won't be decided until gameday, Drew Dougherty of the Texans' official site reports.
Analysis: Coutee was in the same position last week and ultimately was ruled inactive, so there could be some risk in planning to include him in fantasy lineups ahead of the 1 PM ET kickoff. His official injury designation for Week 14 will be revealed at some point after Friday's practice.

Coutee (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Unless Coutee logs every rep of Friday's practice, it seems likely that he'll carry a questionable designation into the weekend for the second straight contest. Coach Bill O'Brien labeled the rookie a game-time call in Week 13 before Coutee was ultimately inactive for the Texans' 29-13 win over the Browns. It wouldn't be surprising if O'Brien labeled Coutee the same way again ahead of Sunday's tilt with the Colts, which would make the wideout a risky option in Week 14 fantasy lineups.

Analysis: After aggravating the hamstring injury in Monday's 34-17 win over the Titans, Coutee wasn't able to advance beyond limited practice participation this week, prompting Houston to hold him out for the sixth time this season.

Game-time call in Week 13
Coach Bill O'Brien relayed Friday that Coutee (hamstring) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's game against the Browns, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Fortunately for those considering Coutee in Week 13 fantasy lineups, the Texans kick off at 1 p.m. EST. That said, with Coutee's hamstring an issue again, he wouldn't be the safest lineup play this weekend if he is cleared to go, especially with Demaryius Thomas easing into a bigger role in the Houston offense behind top wideout DeAndre Hopkins (foot).

Reps capped at practice
Coutee (hamstring) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice.
Analysis: During Monday's 34-17 win over the Titans, Coutee aggravated the hamstring injury that has already cost him five games this season. Though the recurring nature of the injury is somewhat troubling, coach Bill O'Brien expressed optimism the wideout would be good to go for the team's Week 13 tilt with the Browns. Coutee's involvement for the first two days of practice is an encouraging sign, but he seems likely to carry a designation into the weekend if he fails to log a full session Friday.

Coach Bill O'Brien said Coutee (hamstring) is considered day-to-day and is "trending toward being able to play" Week 13 against the Browns, Deepi Sidhu of the Texans' official site reports.
Analysis: Coutee was unable to rejoin Monday's win over Tennessee after exiting with a hamstring injury, leaving his status in flux moving forward. O'Brien's comment provides a reason for optimism, but Coutee's participation level in practice throughout the week will likely provide a better indication of his availability for Week 13.

Coutee (hamstring) won't carry an injury designation into Monday's game against Tennessee.
Analysis: Coutee began the week with a pair of limited practices, but faced no limitations Saturday to avoid the questionable tag.

Team-high 77 receiving yards Sunday
Coutee (hamstring) caught five of nine targets for 77 yards in Sunday's 23-21 win over the Redskins.
Analysis: Coutee led Houston in targets and receiving yards while tying DeAndre Hopkins with a team-high five receptions. Hopkins scored his sixth touchdown in the past five games, so there's no question about the alpha dog in this passing game. Still, Coutee looks to have an edge over Demaryius Thomas for Houston's No. 2 wide receiver role ahead of a Week 12 meeting with the Titans.

Game-time decision this week
Coach Bill O'Brien said Friday that Coutee (hamstring) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's contest against the Redskins, but he thinks the wideout "has a chance to play," Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Coutee hasn't taken the field since Week 7, but it appears he's progressed enough on some level coming off the Texans' Week 10 bye to have a realistic shot at playing Sunday. Unless he's officially ruled out -- which would be a surprise -- when the Texans' final injury report of the week comes out later Friday, it appears Coutee's availability for Week 11 won't be known until the Texans release their gameday inactives approximately 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. EST kickoff.

Limited practice Wednesday
Coutee (hamstring) was limited at practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Earlier this week, Deepi Sidhu of the Texans' official website reported coach Bill O'Brien said Coutee was "trending upwards" in his recovery. If the rookie pass-catcher is able to return to action Sunday against Washington, he'll face competition for targets behind top wideout DeAndre Hopkins from newcomer Demaryius Thomas, who is in line to play his second game for Houston.

Expects to play Week 11
Coutee (hamstring) said he expects to return for Sunday's game at Washington, Deepi Sidhu of the Texans' official website reports.
Analysis: Coutee had an optimistic outlook after returning from a bye week to participate in Monday's practice, though he previously said he won't return until his hamstring is 100 percent healthy. The rookie slot receiver has been dealing with the injury since early August, necessitating a three-game absence to start his career and a two-game absence after he aggravated the issue during a Week 7 win over Jacksonville. Speaking after Monday's session, coach Bill O'Brien said there's a "strong…read more

Trending toward return
Coach Bill O'Brien said there's a "strong possibility" Coutee (hamstring) returns to action Sunday in Washington, Drew Dougherty of the Texans' official site reports.
Analysis: Coutee has been plagued by a left hamstring injury since early August, but when healthy he posted a pair of impactful outings (11-109-0 in Week 4 at Indianapolis and 6-51-1 in Week 5 against the Cowboys). Seeking his first appearance since Week 7, he would have to contend with newcomer Demaryius Thomas for looks behind target monster DeAndre Hopkins.

Taking cautious approach with hamstring
Coutee (hamstring) said he won't return until he is 100 percent healthy, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Coutee has already experienced the downside of rushing back from a hamstring injury, now dealing with a multi-game absence for the second time this year. He did have a surprisingly large role in his three relatively healthy appearances, catching 20 of 27 targets for 193 yards and a touchdown in those games. The rookie will now take a bye week to get some rest, hoping to return for a Week 11 contest at Washington. His comments suggest we shouldn't expect a return to games until he logs at least…read more

Won't play Sunday
Coutee (hamstring) was downgraded from questionable to out for Sunday's game against the Broncos.
Analysis: Coutee was given the questionable tag after being limited in practice this week and was expected to be a game-time decision, but now won't even travel with the team to Denver. Newly acquired Demaryius Thomas is likely to see a heavy snap share in Coutee's absence, but may not be heavily involved as he continues to learn the playbook and establish a rapport with quarterback Deshaun Watson.

Game-time decision for Sunday's game
Coutee (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos.
Analysis: Coutee was able to practice in a limited fashion all week, but he's still viewed as game-time decision ahead of Sunday's contest, which kicks off at 4:05 p.m. EST, per Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle. If he's able to play this weekend, Coutee would work in a receiving corps that no longer includes Will Fuller (out for season with torn ACL), but was fortified by the trade-deadline acquisition of Demaryius Thomas.

Week 9 status to be decided Saturday
Coach Bill O'Brien said Friday that the Texans will work Coutee (hamstring) out on Saturday to determine his availability for Sunday's matchup with the Broncos, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Coutee was able to get some work in at the Texans' first two practice sessions of the week, so it's likely he'll do the same Friday. Regardless how much he does Friday, though, it appears the Texans will wait another day to make a call on his Week 9 availability. Their decision may not be announced until the team releases its inactive list approximately 90 minutes prior to the 4:05 p.m. EST kickoff.

Analysis: After sitting out the Texans' Week 8 win over the Dolphins, Coutee has opened up the current week with back-to-back limited showings in practice. He'll probably need to put in a full session Friday to avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's contest against the Broncos, but his presence on the field in some capacity provides optimism about his chances of playing.

If so, he'll work in a receiving corps that no longer includes Will Fuller (knee), but was bolstered by the acquisition Tuesday of Demaryius Thomas.

Coach Bill O'Brien acknowledged Monday that it's too early to tell if Coutee (hamstring) will return for Sunday's game in Denver, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Coutee aggravated his hamstring Week 7 and never had much chance to play last week with the Texans hosting Miami on Thursday. The team did list Coutee as a limited practice participant Monday and Tuesday, but he was a non-participant Wednesday when the final injury report ruled him out.

Added opportunity following Fuller injury
With Will Fuller out for the season with a torn ACL, once Coutee is back from the strained hamstring that led to him missing Thursday's win over the Dolphins, the rookie pass catcher is in line for added work in tandem with top wideout DeAndre Hopkins, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: With Week 8 in the books for the Texans, the 2018 fourth-rounder will have some extra healing time in advance of the team's Nov. 4 road tilt against the Broncos. Given that Vyncint Smith and Sammie Coates are currently next in line for the team's wideout targets and represent a clear drop-off from Hopkins and Coutee, it's evident that added volume is in the cards for Coutee in Fuller's absence. The Texans also figure to add depth at wide receiver in the coming days, with Dez Bryant an…read more

Won't play Thursday
Coutee (hamstring) was ruled out for Thursday's game against the Dolphins.
Analysis: After aggravating his left hamstring injury in Sunday's win over the Texans, Coutee was always facing an uphill battle to play in Week 8 due to the quick turnaround between games. With the rookie set to miss at least one game, DeAndre Hopkins and Will Fuller could perhaps see a slight uptick in targets, while Coutee's absence will create a need for a new slot receiver.

The 21-year-old's hamstring injury isn't viewed as a long-term issue, but he indicated after Sunday's game he is unlikely to be available for Thursday's matchup with the Dolphins.

Injury not viewed as long-term concern
Coutee (hamstring) said that he'll likely be unavailable for Thursday's game against the Dolphins, but his injury isn't considered especially serious and the Texans aren't fearing a long-term absence, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Coutee aggravated the hamstring injury that sidelined him for through the first three weeks of the season in the first half of Sunday's 20-7 win over the Jaguars, limiting him to one reception for three yards on three targets. Follow-up tests Monday revealed that Coutee avoided a significant setback, but the quick turnaround between games -- the Texans and Dolphins play on Thursday night in Week 8 -- will almost certainly keep him unavailable.

Though Coutee said the hamstring injury he suffered in Sunday's win over the Jaguars isn't as bad as the one that slowed him earlier this season, he doesn't expect to play Thursday against the Dolphins, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Coutee is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Jaguars with a hamstring injury.

Coutee (hamstring) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: The Texans continue to list Coutee on the injury report despite no hint that he has suffered a setback since making his NFL debut Week 4. He'll face a tough Jacksonville defense this Sunday, though the matchup could direct targets away from DeAndre Hopkins (foot) and Will Fuller (hip), which would seem to work in the slot receiver's favor.

Second among targets
Coutee caught three of five targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 20-13 win over Buffalo.
Analysis: Coutee's five targets were second only to DeAndre Hopkins (six), as Houston's vaunted passing game wasn't very crisp Sunday. That can be attributed to the health of quarterback Deshaun Watson (chest), who attempted just 25 throws. Coutee, who entered the game with 22 catches over the last two games, might experience similar usage Week 7 if Watson's health remains the same, particularly against the imposing pass defense of the Jaguars.

Meanwhile, Deshaun Watson (chest) is listed as questionable for the contest, but we'd be surprised if he didn't play. Coutee, who made his NFL debut Week 4, is already on the PPR radar, after having logged 17 catches on 22 targets for 160 yards and a touchdown in that span.

He finished second in wideout targets to DeAndre Hopkins and has been thrown to 22 times over the last two weeks.

The continued presence of wideouts DeAndre Hopkins and Will Fuller (hamstring) will make duplicating those numbers in the coming weeks quite a challenge for Coutee, more so Sunday night, with Ian Rapoport of NFL Network having previously indicated that if the young slot man did play Week 5, he'd have to play in pain.

Coutee caught 11 of 15 targets for 109 yards during Sunday's 37-34 win over the Colts.
Analysis: What do you make out of a rookie receiver leading his team in targets and catches in his debut? It's almost impossible to tell, and Sunday's matchup against a quality Dallas defense will shed some light, but you couldn't ask much more from Coutee on Sunday. There's a lot of competition in Houston with the likes of DeAndre Hopkins and Will Fuller, but Coutee seems to already have a rapport with Deshaun Watson, who relied on similar smallish, shifty slot targets while starring at Clemson.

Coutee (hamstring) only managed limited practice participation Wednesday, but he suggested he'll be ready to make his NFL debut Sunday in Indianapolis, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports. "I'm back," Coutee said. "I feel confident. With Bruce [Ellington] going down, it's a tragedy to see him go down with the same thing I've had. I'm ready to step up."
Analysis: Coutee alluded to Ellington being placed on injured reserve earlier in the week due to a hamstring issue of his own, but it appears the rookie's injury is mostly in the rear-view mirror at this point. The fourth-round pick out of Texas Tech could make a quick push for the No. 3 wide receiver job, despite missing the entire preseason and the first three weeks of the regular season. Coutee will have to compete with Sammie Coates (hamstring) and Vyncint Smith for those duties.
