Texans' Keith Mumphery: Season-high three catches in Week 17 loss
Keith Mumphery caught three of four targets for 23 yards in Houston's 24-17 loss to Tennessee in Week 17.While Mumphery played an increased role over the final several weeks of the regular season, overall he was used much less than he was during his rookie 2015 season. He was replaced as the team's main returner on special teams, and opened the year on the inactive list for five of the first eight games. It was only when Braxton Miller (shoulder) and Jaelen Strong (ankle) were placed on IR did Mumphery get some opportunities. He's signed for another two years and has knowledge of the offense, so Mumphery is expected to return in 2017, but he'll be fifth on the depth chart if Miller and Strong are healthy.

Texans' Keith Mumphery: Season-high 42 snaps in Week 14
Keith Mumphery caught both of his targets for 16 yards in Houston's 22-17 win over Indianapolis in Week 14.Mumphery's stock increased in value a bit with both Braxton Miller (shoulder) and Jaelen Strong (ankle, IR) dealing with injuries, which led to a season-high 42 snaps Sunday. Unfortunately, he's stuck in one of the league's worst passing attacks -- Houston ranks 30th (190.0 yards per game) as of Monday -- which barely makes any of its receivers fantasy relevant. There's always a shot that the double-coverage thrown at DeAndre Hopkins opens up the field for Mumphery, but that assumes good quarterback play from Brock Osweiler, a commodity in low supply on Houston's offense this season.

Texans' Keith Mumphery: Fills in for injured Fuller, Strong
Mumphrey had a season-high 20 snaps on offense in the Houston Texans' 24-21 win over the Jaguars in Week 10.Houston was without two wideouts for the game as both Will Fuller (knee) and Jaelen Strong (ankle) were inactive. Despite the elevated playing time, Keith Mumphery went un-targeted in the game. With Fuller hopeful to play Week 11 against the Raiders, Mumphery will slip back to fourth on the depth chart.

Texans' Keith Mumphery: Inactive for Week 1
Keith Mumphery is inactive for the Houston Texans' Week 1 matchup with the Bears, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.The Texans only have four receivers active for the opener, so we could see the team opt to give backup tight end Ryan Griffin some increased snaps whenever they want to get another pass- catcher on the field. Mumphery was able to claim a roster spot over veteran Cecil Shorts in training camp, but the 2015 fifth-round pick isn't expected to play a major role for the Texans in his second season in the league.

Texans' Keith Mumphery: Catches lone target Sunday
Keith Mumphery caught his only target for 31 yards during Houston's win over Arizona in preseason Week 3. He made a nice toe-tapping grab along the sideline on Houston's two-minute scoring drive to end the first half.The second-year wideout from Michigan State has been a forgotten man during the preseason, even more so after the contributions made by 2016 draft picks Will Fuller (three catches, 67 yards, TD) and Braxton Miller (three catches, 29 yards) in the win over the Cardinals. Based on usage through the first three preseason games, Mumphery and Cecil Shorts are battling for the fifth spot on the wideout depth chart, behind DeAndre Hopkins, Fuller, Miller, and Jaelen Strong.
