AFC South

Houston Texans - S-Coutee-ing Along

Quarterback: Deshaun Watson (100%)

Running Backs: Lamar Miller (73%), Alfred Blue (29%)

Wide Receivers: DeAndre Hopkins (100%), Demaryius Thomas (73%), Keke Coutee (67%),

Tight End: Ryan Griffin (75%), Jordan Thomas (54%), Jordan Akins (29%)

How is Keke Coutee only on 30% of Yahoo rosters? Sure, he missed some time with a hamstring injury, but he's a receiver who saw 20 receptions on 27 targets in his first 3 games of the year. Playing 67% of the snaps against the Washington Redskins this week, Coutee caught 5 of 9 passes for 77 yards. Those who dropped him could now be regretting their decision.

Indianapolis Colts - Three's a Crowd

Quarterback: Andrew Luck (87%), Jacoby Brissett (13%)

Running Backs: Marlon Mack (61%), Nyheim Hines (26%), Jordan Wilkins (18%)

Wide Receivers: T.Y. Hilton (68%), Dontrelle Inman (47%), Ryan Grant (39%), Zach Pascal (39%), Chester Rogers (34%)

Tight Ends: Jack Doyle (82%), Mo Alie-Cox (42%), Eric Ebron (40%),

Andrew Luck can only throw so many passes to tight ends, and for the second week in a row, Eric Ebron was at the bottom of the target heap. He's played the fewest snaps of any Colts tight end for three weeks in a row and hasn't seen more than three targets since October 28. In a weak tight end season, he may still need to be started, but you're increasingly playing with fire by doing so.

Jacksonville Jaguars - Hyde Out-Touches Yeldon

Quarterback: Blake Bortles (100%)

Running Backs: Leonard Fournette (51%), T.J. Yeldon (33%), Carlos Hyde (16%)

Wide Receivers: Donte Moncrief (74%), Dede Westbrook (71%), D.J. Chark (52%), Keelan Cole (23%)

Tight End: James O'Shaughnessy (81%), Blake Bell (36%), Ben Koyack (30%

The Jacksonville Jaguars were running at will against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and Carlos Hyde was a big reason why. Though he only played 16% of the snaps, he ran for 44 yards, averaging 5.5 yards per tote. It was his highest touch total in his new uniform, and given that his team can't pass (to be fair, Bortles' 61% completion rate is a career high...eat your heart out, Brees), that number could continue to climb higher.

Tennessee Titans - Gabble, Gabble

Quarterback: Marcus Mariota (56%), Blaine Gabbert (44%)

Running Backs: Dion Lewis (70%), Derrick Henry (33%)

Wide Receivers: Corey Davis (92%), Tajae Sharpe (92%), Cameron Batson (62%), Darius Jennings (19%)

Tight Ends: Jonnu Smith (67%), Luke Stocker (29%), Anthony Firkser (22%), MyCole Pruitt (14%)

The Tennessee Titans are one of five AFC teams tied for the the sixth and final playoff spot. They're going to have a tough time competing if they have to roll out Blaine Gabbert going forward. Gabbert played 44% of the Titans' snaps after Marcus Mariota got hurt this week. Fortunately, Mariota avoided serious injury and could be available for Monday's crucial game against the Houston Texans. If Mariota is out, say hello to Blaine "Mr. 56%" Gabbert. Yikes.
