Keke Coutee plays great in NFL debut.

After missing the first three games of the season with a hamstring injury, the fourth-round rookie receiver immediately stepped into a big role on offense with Bruce Ellington on injured reserve. Coutee drew a team-high 15 targets from Deshaun Watson against the Colts, catching 11 passes for 109 yards. He also had two carries for -2 yards. Coutee’s 11 receptions are the most in an NFL debut since 1970, passing Anquan Boldin and Earl Cooper (ten). It was just one game, but the former Texas Tech receiver should be one of the top waiver-wire adds this week.

Alfred Blue gets 13 carries in Texans’ win.

Blue split the workload evenly with Lamar Miller (14 carries for 49 yards), gaining 31 yards on his 13 rushing attempts. The Colts played the Texans tough against the run, but Blue ran the ball hard as usual. Through four games, Blue is on pace for 112 carries, 464 yards, and four touchdowns along with four receptions for 16 yards. Blue is not a recommended fantasy option as long as Miller remains on the field.

Lamar Miller gets 14 carries against the Colts.

Miller gained 49 yards on his 14 attempts and did not catch a pass in the Week 4 win. Through four games, Miller is on pace for 236 carries, 900 rushing yards, 32 receptions, 216 receiving yards, and four receiving touchdowns. Alfred Blue mixed in for 13 carries, but he gained just 31 yards on those attempts. Miller is a low-upside option for Week 5 against the Cowboys, but he should be good for at least a few points.

Dwayne Allen catches one pass in Week 4 win.

It went for negative-four yards. Allen isn’t a fantasy option, particularly with Rob Gronkowski healthy.

Deshaun Watson totals over 400 yards and three touchdowns in Week 4 overtime win.

The Texans put an end to their nine-game losing streak dating back to last season, and Watson was a big part of it with a huge offensive performance. Watson was 29/42 for 375 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception along with six carries for 41 yards and a touchdown. Watson’s touchdowns were to the usual suspects, DeAndre Hopkins and Will Fuller. Through four games, Watson is on pace for 4,984 yards, 28 passing touchdowns, 16 interceptions, and a rushing line of 96/644/4. Watson has an interception in each of the first four games, but he has at least 300 passing yards and two passing touchdowns in each of the last three. Watson remains a strong QB1 for Week 5 against the Cowboys.

Chris Hogan held to one reception in win over the Dolphins.

It went for 25 yards. Hogan has largely been a disappointment outside of a couple late touchdowns against the Jaguars in Week 4, as he is on pace for a 36/436/8 line at the season’s quarter mark. The hope is that Josh Gordon and Julian Edelman will open things up for Hogan, but the concern is that both Phillip Dorsett and Cordarrelle Patterson will remain involved. Consider the 29-year-old a risky FLEX option when the Colts come to town on Thursday night.

Josh Gordon makes Patriots debut in Week 4 win.

Gordon caught two passes for 32 yards in a decisive 38-7 victory. New England started the season very light on the receiver depth chart, but they are suddenly loaded with Julian Edelman returning from suspension this week and Phillip Dorsett continuing to make plays. Still, the team took a chance on Gordon for a reason, and he is probably the receiver to own for the rest of the season. Consider him a high-upside FLEX until we see him play extended snaps, but Gordon will be a difficult cover for the Colts on Thursday night.
