3. Keke Coutee

The Houston Texans really need Keke Coutee to make a difference in this game as they take on the Denver Broncos without Will Fuller as  Demaryius Thomas in his first game with a different offensive system than what he was accustomed to with Denver.

Coutee didn’t play last week with a hamstring injury that has been bothersome all season long during his rookie year. When Coutee is able to get on the field he has gotten many targets — 30 in all— in four games played. In those games, Coutee has 21 receptions for 196 yards and one touchdown.

The rookie most recently played against the Jacksonville Jaguars (Oct. 21) where he had one reception for three yards before his hamstring issue acted up again. If healthy, don’t be surprised to see Coutee have a solid game, but he’s also listed as questionable to be on the lookout for that too.
