Texans' Sammie Coates: Dealing with illness
Sammie Coates is questionable for Monday's game against the Titans due to an illness.Coates was a late addition to the injury report and did not participate at Saturday's practice. The 25-year-old has made only one catch this season and with DeAndre Hopkins and Keke Coutee avoiding injury designations this week, seems unlikely to be significantly involved offensively even if able to play.

Texans' Sammie Coates: Option to fill in for Fuller
Sammie Coates and Vyncint Smith are the in-house options to fill in for the injured Will Fuller (knee) in Week 9 against Denver, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.Coates has served primarily on special teams this season while playing just 35 offensive snaps in 2018. With Keke Coutee (hamstring) uncertain, both Coates and Smith may get increased chances, although we expect a heavy reliance on Houston's ground attack, which has averaged nearly 165 yards over the last two games, or a search on the trade market for wideout help.

Texans' Sammie Coates: Catches first pass of season
Sammie Coates caught his lone target during Sunday's 37-34 win over the Colts, picking up a gain of 12 yards.Despite the big numbers the Houston Texans' offense put up, it was a quiet debut for Coates as he sought to help fill the void left by Bruce Ellington. Instead, it was rookie Keke Coutee, also making his debut, who walked away with 11 catches. Between DeAndre Hopkins, Will Fuller and -- potentially now -- Coutee, there might not be a ton of room for Coates' role to grow. He next takes on a Dallas defense that's ranked as the sixth-toughest pass defense in the league, yielding just 208.5 yards per contest.
