Week 17 Outlook
Availability
Sammie Coates did not catch a pass for the Texans on Thursday night as the team defeated the Dolphins by a 42-23 score.
Fantasy Impact
Coates has just one catch on the season as he has not been part of the Texans offense. His chance might be coming with fellow receiver Will Fuller possibly having a season ending knee injury and Keke Coutee also out with an injury. Fantasy owners should not be running out to add Coates but he is worth keeping an eye on.
Sammie Coates caught his lone target for 12 yards in Houston's Week 4 overtime win against Indianapolis on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
Coates had missed the last two games as he has been dealing with a hamstring issue. The 25-year-old wide receiver has fallen on the depth chart as fellow receiver Keke Coutee had a big day on Sunday. Coates is not ownable in fantasy leagues unless some injuries occur in the Texans receiving core.
Sammie Coates (hamstring) is questionable to play in Sunday's game against the Giants.
Fantasy Impact
Coates was a DNP in Week 2 against the Titans after going into the game as questionable. It looks like a similar scenario going into Week 3 as Coates was limited all week. Fantasy owners should be finding other options at WR.
Sammie Coates (hamstring) is questionable to play in Sunday's game against the Titans.
Fantasy Impact
Coates was able to play last week despite being limited in practice but only saw one pass in the loss to the Patriots. Expect Coates to play again this Sunday but he will not have any fantasy value.
Sammie Coates (hamstring) is active for Sunday's tilt against the Patriots.
Fantasy Impact
Coates should be the third receiver on the depth chart going into the game which means he could see an increase in targets. He was limited in practice all week so he may be limited in the game as well.
