  • Loses fumble in playoff loss

    Carter caught his lone target for 17 yards and lost a fumble on a kickoff return in Sunday's 51-31 playoff loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: In the midst of Houston's second-quarter collapse, Carter had the ball dislodged on a kickoff return, setting up Kansas City's third touchdown. To be fair, this was a team-wide disaster, but Carter's fumble fueled the Chiefs' gathering momentum after they had fallen behind 24-0. He finished the regular season with 11 catches on 14 targets for 162 yards, while averaging 22.0 yards on kickoff returns and 9.7 yards on punt returns. The 26-year-old was Houston's primary returner and supplanted Keke…read more

  • Two targets in playoff win

    Carter caught one of two targets for five yards in the Texans' 22-19 overtime win over the Bills in their wild-card round playoff game Saturday.

    Analysis: Carter moved up to third wideout, playing 55 of 69 snaps (80 percent), as Will Fuller V (groin) was inactive for a second straight week. The Texans are hopeful Fuller will be available for next Sunday's divisional-round meeting with the Chiefs, so Carter could drop back to fourth on the depth chart. Whatever happens next week, Carter will remain Houston's top returner on punts and kickoffs.

  • Leads team in receiving

    Carter hauled in six of seven targets for 65 yards in the team's Week 17 loss to the Titans.

    Analysis: Carter benefitted from the absence or light usage of DeAndre Hopkins, Will Fuller and Kenny Stills, racking up a season-best six receptions. After recording 20 catches in his second professional season, Carter incurred a lessened role in 2019, managing just 11 total receptions. With the entirety of the Texans' receiving corps set to return in 2020, Carter shouldn't be expected to see an increased workload in the near future.

  • Delivers clutch catch

    Carter caught both of his targets for 44 yards during Saturday's 23-20 win over Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: Carter delivered Houston's biggest play from scrimmage midway through the fourth quarter, breaking deep toward the sideline and corralling a 39-yard bomb to set up what would end up being the game-winning field goal. The sophomore receiver hasn't been too involved in the offense this season, his last catch having come Week 9. He may see an uptick in usage in the season finale against a tough Titans defense depending on the health of Will Fuller, who left Saturday's game with a groin injury.

  • Brings in only target

    Carter caught his only pass for an eight-yard reception during Sunday's 26-3 win over Jacksonville. He added a 19-yard kick return.

    Analysis: Carter, the only Texan to return a punt or kick this season, looked like he was growing into a bigger role on offense in Week 8 with a 46-yard reception. His workload didn't expand Sunday however, even with Will Fuller (hamstring) out again. The sophomore receiver has been squeezed this season in a crowded receiving corps due in part to the offseason addition of Kenny Stills. Carter recorded at least three targets in four of his last five games of 2018, but has just one such outing in 2019 with…read more

  • Increased role in Week 8

    Carter played 47 snaps and caught one of three targets for 46 yards in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Raiders.

    Analysis: It was surprising to see Carter get his highest snap total since Week 1 while Keke Coutee remained on the sideline all game. With Will Fuller (hamstring) inactive for the first of what is expected to be multiple weeks, it was expected that Coutee and Kenny Stills would be the secondary receivers after DeAndre Hopkins. It's unknown at this point why Carter vaulted over Coutee or if this was a matchup-based decision.

  • Playing time drops Week 2

    Carter played just one snap on offense in Sunday's 13-12 win over the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Keke Coutee's return to action resulted in a sharp decline in playing time for Carter, who dropped from 28 snaps in Week 1. For now, Carter will have to make his contributions as a return man; he returned one punt for five yards in this game.

  • Primary replacement for Coutee

    With news the Keke Coutee (ankle) may not be ready for Week 1, Carter stands as the primary beneficiary of playing time, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Texans head coach Bill O'Brien said he was "not hopeful" that Coutee will be available Sept. 9 against New Orleans, so Carter has a chance for increased snaps Week 1. He helped fill in for Coutee in 2018, catching 20 passes over seven games after the Texans claimed him midseason.

  • Active in preseason debut

    Carter caught all three targets for a team-high 40 yards in Houston's preseason Week 2 win over Detroit.

    Analysis: Carter started the game with Keke Coutee (ankle) unavailable and caught a pair of passes from quarterback Deshaun Watson on the game's opening drive. Carter also served as the starting returner on both punts and kickoffs. He came off the PUP list last weekend and was given a vote of confidence by coach Bill O'Brien as a potential fill-in starter should Coutee not be available when the regular season starts.

  • Potential fill-in for Coutee

    Houston head coach Bill O'Brien said Carter is in position to fill in if Keke Coutee (ankle) is not ready to play the season opener Sept. 9 against New Orleans, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Carter received ample playing time last season after the Texans claimed him off waivers from the Eagles midseason. He became Houston's primary returner on both punts and kickoffs and caught 20 of 23 targets for 195 yards as a fill-in for Coutee in 2018. "We talked about that last night, relative to Keke's injury and I'm glad we have DeAndre Carter," O'Brien said. "He's a good solid player, he's got good quickness, he's a strong player." Carter was recently activated off the PUP list and should…read more

  • Comes off PUP list

    Carter (undisclosed) returned from the PUP-P list Saturday, Aaron Reiss of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Carter appears to have shaken whatever was keeping him off the practice field since the start of August. Considering Keke Coutee is expected to miss an extended portion of the preseason after picking up an ankle injury in the team's opening contest against the Packers, Carter stands to immediately benefit from the absence. Newly acquired running back Duke Johnson could also factor into the slot as well, but the 26-year-old Carter impressed when forced into duty last season, posting at least 30…read more

  • Lands on PUP list

    Carter (undisclosed) was placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list Saturday.

    Analysis: It was unknown that Carter was dealing with an injury this offseason, but he likely will start camp on the PUP list. The 25-year-old earned a one-year deal this offseason with the Texans, after he suited up in seven games for Houston in 2018, nabbing 20 of 23 targets for 195 yards. It's unclear how long Carter will last on the list, but he can come off at any time.

  • Terms of contract announced

    Carter finalized a one-year, $570,000 contract with the Texans on Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: The fact that the contract is under $1 million -- and a one-year deal -- suggests Carter won't be assured a roster spot for 2019. After coming over from the Eagles on a waiver claim, the 25-year-old suited up in seven games for Houston, nabbing 20 of 23 targets for 195 yards. Carter was also prominent on special teams, racking up 221 kick return yards and 146 punt return yards.

  • Returning to Houston

    Carter is re-signing an undisclosed contract with the Texans.

    Analysis: When injuries pilled up in the Texans' receiving corps last season, Carter was thrust into a slot role and caught 20 of 23 targets for 195 yards in seven games. The 25-year-old also was prominent on special teams, racking up 221 kick return yards and 146 punt return yards. Carter will likely return to his depth role as a wide receiver and return man on special teams in 2019.

  • Posts 22 catches in 2018

    Carter, who caught two passes for 21 yards through his first seven 2018 contests before being waived by the Eagles, subsequently hauled in 20 of 23 targets for 195 yards in seven games after he was claimed on waivers by the Texans.

    Analysis: The slot man was thrust into a more prominent role with Houston due to injuries to Keke Coutee and Demaryius Thomas, but never managed to eclipse 30 receiving yards in a single game down the stretch. Carter also rushed once for seven yards while serving as the team's top return man. The 25-year-old is set to become an exclusive rights free agent this offseason, so the Texans need only to offer him a one-year, minimum-terms contract to re-sign him.

  • Second to Hopkins

    Carter caught four of five targets for 33 yards and averaged 9.3 yards on six punt returns in Sunday's 20-3 win over the Jaguars.

    Analysis: For the second consecutive game, Carter was the second-leading receiver behind DeAndre Hopkins. The midseason acquisition has emerged with a big role in the passing offense, replacing the injured Keke Coutee (hamstring) at slot receiver while averaging 4.4 targets over the last five games. With Coutee missing the final five games of the regular season, his status for next week's wild-card game against the Colts is questionable. That means Carter could have a similar role next week.

  • Hauls in six passes in loss

    Carter caught six of seven targets for 61 yards in Sunday's 32-30 loss to the Eagles.

    Analysis: The revenge-game narrative fits Carter in this case, as he saved his biggest game of the season for the team that waived him twice already this year. He has now turned in back-to-back efforts of at least 60 total yards. Even if Keke Coutee (hamstring) returns for Week 17 at home against Jacksonville, Carter is still likely in line for additional playing time once again due to the Achilles injury Demaryius Thomas suffered.

  • Likely No. 3 on Sunday

    Carter is expected to slot in behind DeAndre Hopkins and Demaryius Thomas on the depth chart after Keke Coutee (hamstring) was downgraded to out for Sunday's game.

    Analysis: Carter has flourished in recent weeks thanks to the lingering hamstring injury to Coutee, who is slated to miss his fourth straight contest. In the past three games, Carter has tallied nine catches for 87 yards; however, that's also taking into account Week 15, which saw the second-year wideout leave the contest with a concussion early in the first half. The passing game is once again expected to be the focal point of the Texans' offense given Lamar Miller (ankle) is out Sunday, which might…read more

  • Could be third WR

    Carter, who's been targeted 10 times over the last three weeks, could continue to be involved in the offense Week 16 against the Eagles with Keke Coutee (hamstring) deemed questionable, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Carter would have been targeted more if not for a concussion he suffered against the Colts in Week 14. Coutee's injury has unlocked an opportunity for Carter, the Sacramento State star who scored 31 touchdowns over his final two seasons in the Big Sky Conference. Carter has caught 10 off 11 targets since joining the Texans, including a career-long 50-yard reception last week against the Jets.

  • Misses no time

    Carter caught two of three targets for 55 yards while playing 60 percent of the offensive snaps in Saturday's 29-22 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Carter left Houston's previous game with a concussion but was able to rebound quickly and not miss any time. With Keke Coutee's continuing hamstring issues -- he missed a third straight game Saturday -- Carter's involvement in the offense has grown. He's been targeted 10 times over the last three games and is considered the third wideout until Coutee returns.

  • Elevated workload possible

    Carter is in line for an increase in snaps after Keke Coutee (hamstring) was downgraded from questionable to out for Saturday's road game against the Jets, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Outside of a six-catch performance Week 13 against the Browns, Carter hasn't been targeted more than once in a single game this season. On a positive note, he's hauled in all 10 of his career targets between Houston and Philadelphia, so he could take advantage of the void behind DeAndre Hopkins and Demaryius Thomas this weekend.

  • Cleared to play Saturday

    Carter (concussion) does not carry an injury designation for Saturday's game against the Jets.

    Analysis: Carter practiced fully both Wednesday and Thursday, paving the way for his availability this weekend. Carter's potential utility in deeper PPR formats is tied to the status of Keke Coutee (hamstring), who the team lists as questionable for Saturday's contest. If Coutee is unable to play, Carter would likely serve as the Texans' primary slot man in Week 15, alongside top wideouts DeAndre Hopkins and Demaryius Thomas.

    Carter (concussion) practiced fully Wednesday.

    Analysis: Carter's ability to take contact at practice suggests he's on track to be available for Saturday's game against the Jets, though he technically remains in NFL's concussion protocol, per Pat Starr of Sportstalk 790 Houston. It's expected that Carter will receive clearance from an independent neurologist before Saturday, but even if he suits up, the receiver isn't a lock to reclaim a prominent role on offense. Carter's usage in the passing attack will likely hinge on the status of Keke Coutee…read more

  • Limited during walkthrough

    Carter (concussion) was listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's estimated practice report.

    Analysis: Carter was removed from Sunday's game against the Colts with a concussion and will have to pass the league's concussion protocol before returning to action. Though it was just a walkthrough, the fact the Texans listed Carter as limited instead of out is an encouraging sign.

  • Concussion confirmed

    A concussion forced Carter from Sunday's game against the Colts.

    Analysis: With Carter now out and Keke Coutee still sidelined by a hamstring injury, the Texans depth at receiver behind DeAndre Hopkins and Demaryius Thomas on Sunday is further taxed.

  • May have sustained concussion

    Carter exited Sunday's game against the Colts to undergo evaluation for a concussion and is questionable to return.

    Analysis: Carter, who is serving as the Texans' No. 3 wideout with Keke Coutee (hamstring) inactive, corralled his lone target for no gain before departing. If Carter is diagnosed with a concussion or concussion-like symptoms and is unable to return, the Texans would be down to just three available receivers (DeAndre Hopkins, Demaryius Thomas and Sammie Coates).

  • Slot role awaits

    Carter is expected to serve as the Texans' primary slot receiver for Sunday's game against the Colts with Keke Coutee (hamstring) inactive for the contest, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Carter was an effective complement to starting wideouts DeAndre Hopkins and Demaryius Thomas while filing in for Coutee in the Week 13 win over the Browns, hauling in all six of his targets for 32 yards. That performance should keep Carter ahead of Sammie Coates in the wideout pecking order with Coutee missing another game, though the short and intermediate routes Carter will run out of the slot limits his big-play potential. Even so, another outing on par with his Week 13 effort would give…read more

    Carter has fumbled three times while returning kicks since joining the Texans three weeks ago, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: None of Carter's fumbles have turned into turnovers, but that's not the point. "He's got to stop doing that because he has been a good addition to our team," said coach Bill O'Brien. "He's given us some good plays in the couple of games that he's been here. He's a strong player, he's a very smart player. I think that all comes from showing it on tape." The Texans will work on Carter's ball positioning and carrying technique in an effort to avoid a key turnover that might cost Houston in Week 14…read more

  • Second to other DeAndre

    Carter caught all six of his targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 29-13 win over the Browns.

    Analysis: Carter played a season-high 44 snaps and was the second-most targeted receiver behind only DeAndre Hopkins, who had 12 targets. Carter has steadily seen his role grow since joining the Texans during a Week 10 bye. He first served as a returner only in Week 11, then popped up as target on offense last week before his six-catch effort against the Browns. It should be noted that Keke Coutee (hamstring) sat out the game, granting opportunities for Carter. Sill, head coach Bill O'Brien has been…read more

  • Pleases coach in debut

    Carter received praise from coach Bill O'Brien for his efforts as a returner in a Week 11 win over Washington, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports. "I thought he fielded the ball pretty well. There was one that he could've done a better job on, but overall, he came up on that short kickoff and made a great catch on that, helped our field position," O'Brien said.

    Analysis: Carter made his debut for the Texans last week after being claimed off waivers from the Eagles following their Week 10 bye. The Texans cleared a roster spot for Carter by cutting Tyler Ervin, who they felt had lost a step after suffering a knee injury in 2017. Carter had one punt return for 16 yards and fielded a short kickoff for an 18-yard return. Both plays turned potentially challenging field position into favorable situations for the Texans, who went on to score after each return.

  • On track to return kicks Week 11

    Coach Bill O'Brien called Carter a "prime candidate" to be a punt returner Monday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Carter was claimed off waivers by the Texans last week, and appears on track to serve as the team's top return man during Sunday's game against the Redskins. If Carter shows well, he could conceivably earn a consistent role on special teams in Houston. The four-year pro is worth monitoring in fantasy leagues that award points for return yards.

  • Scooped up by Houston

    The Texans claimed Carter off waivers Wednesday.

    Analysis: Carter has bounced around the league since going undrafted in 2015, most notably serving as a return specialist for the Eagles throughout September and October this season. He'll likely fill a similar role in Houston, as the team released running back/return man Tyler Ervin for the corresponding transaction. Carter can also provide depth for a wideout group that looks shaky behind its top two healthy options, DeAndre Hopkins and Demaryius Thomas.

  • Waived by Eagles

    Carter was waived by the Eagles on Tuesday, Mike Kaye of NJ.com reports.

    Analysis: The Eagles were looking to add depth on their defensive line, and Carter was the odd man out. He only managed to haul in two receptions for 21 yards in eight games, as he was primarily a contributor on special teams. He is a candidate to join the team's practice squad assuming he clears waivers.
