Keke Coutee (WR, HOU) - Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues

ROSTERED: 26% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: If you have paid even the slightest of attention to NFL news lately, then you should know that the Texans have been hit hard by injuries and suspensions. Houston sent Randall Cobb to the IR and he won't be back until W15 at the soonest. Just a few days ago it was announced that Will Fuller will miss the remainder of the season after testing positive for PEDs. On top of that, the Texans released Kenny Stills.

With such a body of receivers off the field, it was Keke Coutee who was forced--whether he liked or not--to step up and take on a much heavier role. And oh boy, did he thrived at it. Coutee had not been targeted more than four times prior to Week 13, and he only had played in three games this season.

Before Sunday, Coutee was a 6-reception, 9-target, 38-yard, 1-TD player through three games played. On Sunday alone he got 8 receptions on 9 targets for 141 yards, missing only on scoring a touchdown while racking up 22.1 fantasy points that made him the WR6 on the weekend. Crazy good.

Fantasy GMs have yet to catch up with the Texans situation and Coutee's new role in this offense, so you have to take advantage of that while you can. The Texans schedule gets easier on a weekly basis ROS, with Houston facing the 5th, then 10th, 19th, and 31st-best defenses against fantasy WRs. Coutee is automatic at catching passes and if the volume stays high (it should) then he could be a monster FLEX-play going forward and become part of more than one winning team in fantasy leagues, (almost) no matter the depth of them.
