KENNY STILLS
Won't return to Sunday's game Stills suffered a leg injury and won't return to Sunday's game against the Patriots.
Impact Randall Cobb (foot) is also done for the day, leaving Will Fuller, Brandin Cooks and Keke Coutee as the only remaining wide receivers for Houston. Stills will need to recover on a short week ahead of a Week 12 Thursday game against the Lions.

Suits up Sunday Stills (back) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Impact With Will Fuller, Brandin Cooks and Randall Cobb also in the Texans' wide receiver mix, volume is an issue for Stills these days, a context that makes him a hit-or-miss fantasy option until or unless more snaps open up for him.
NOVEMBER 22, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
On track to play Sunday Stills (back) remains questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, but he's expected to play in the Week 11 contest, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Even though Stills is on track to suit up, he's been a hit-or-miss fantasy option this season with Will Fuller, Brandin Cooks and Randall Cobb all firmly ahead of him in the pecking order for snaps and targets among the Texans' wide receivers.
NOVEMBER 22, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Questionable for Sunday Stills (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Stills has played in every game this year, but he has yet to see more than four targets and 28 snaps in a single contest, and his workloads have been especially light in recent weeks. Keke Coutee or Isaiah Coulter will fill in as the Texans' fourth wide receiver if Stills doesn't end up playing this weekend.
NOVEMBER 20, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Returns to practice Stills (back) returned to a limited practice Thursday.
Impact Friday's final injury report of the week should reveal whether Stills approaches Sunday's game against the Patriots listed as questionable or free from a Week 11 injury designation. With Will Fuller, Brandin Cooks and Randall Cobb also in the Texans' wide receiver mix, volume has been an issue for Stills of late, which makes him a hit-or-miss fantasy option until or unless more snaps open up for him.

Misses practice with back injury Stills (back) didn't practice Wednesday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN NFL Nation reports.
Impact This is a new injury for Stills, who hasn't broken 40 yards in a game this season. Houston's No. 4 wide receiver is on pace for the least productive campaign of his eight-year career, but he'll hope to heal up in time to face the Patriots on Sunday and try to turn his season around.
NOVEMBER 18, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
One catch in loss Stills caught his lone target for six yards in Sunday's 10-7 loss to the Browns.
Impact Stills has just four catches over the last five games and is behind Will Fuller, Brandin Cooks and Randall Cobb on the depth chart. He has yet to play more than 50 percent of the offensive snaps in any game this season.
NOVEMBER 16, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Blanked in catch department Stills was not targeted on 15 offensive snaps during Sunday's 27-25 win against Jacksonville.
Impact Despite Will Fuller having been shopped prior to the Nov. 3 trade deadline, Houston ultimately did not move any assets away from its deep wide receiver corps. This development certainly does not bode well for Stills' fantasy value going forward, as the 28-year-old has gone untargeted over two of his past three appearances. Stills enjoyed a brief stretch Week 3 and 4 in which he racked up five catches for 74 yards and a touchdown, but otherwise he has had just one outing above 16 receiving yards all season.

Under 50 yards again Stills caught two of four targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 35-20 loss to the Packers.
Impact Stills was held under 50 yards for the seventh time in seven games this season, and he has scored just once. He played 22 offensive snaps (32 percent), which is right at his season average. As long as the Texans' other wideouts stay healthy, there's little hope for Stills to make a fantasy impact from week to week. Given Houston's 1-6 record, it makes sense for the team to move Stills by the Nov. 3 trade deadline, which could change his fantasy relevance.
OCTOBER 26, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
One catch in win Stills caught his lone target for 14 yards in Sunday's 30-14 win over the Jaguars.
Impact Stills was coming off his most productive game of the season and had eight targets over the previous two games. That uptick in production, coupled with the organization parting ways with head coach/general manager Bill O'Brien, left roles uncertain heading into Week 5. However, not much changed for Stills, who remained fourth on the depth chart. He played just 28 percent of the snaps, his second-lowest workload in five games.
OCTOBER 12, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Produces fourth-quarter score Stills caught two of four targets for 39 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 31-23 loss to Minnesota.
Impact Stills corralled a 24-yard Deshaun Watson TD pass on Houston's penultimate drive of the fourth quarter, but the wideout's efforts were not enough to keep Houston from dropping to 0-4 as the Texans proved unable to muster another score. The 28-year-old receiver has attracted four targets in each of his past two games after garnering just five combined targets Weeks 1 and 2. He'll next face a Jaguars defense that ranks in the bottom five in the NFL with a 71 percent catch rate permitted to opposing wideouts.

OCTOBER 4, 2020 • HOUSTONTEXANS.COM
High target-to-snap ratio Stills caught three of four targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 28-21 loss to Pittsburgh in Week 3.
Impact Stills played a season-low eight snaps but had a season-high four targets in the loss. It's hard to see how Stills can raise his profile with three proven NFL commodities ahead of him on the depth chart. A Will Fuller injury -- not unheard of -- or disappointing production out of Brandin Cooks could benefit Stills, but until then, he won't be much of a fantasy prospect in any given week.
SEPTEMBER 28, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Suits up Sunday Stills (illness) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Steelers.
Impact Given that Will Fuller, Brandin Cooks and Randall Cobb are also in the Texans' wide receiver mix, Stills can't be counted on to receive a steady share of targets, but he's a candidate to capably step into a larger role if any of the team's other key options at the position are forced to miss any time.
SEPTEMBER 27, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Expected to be available in Week 3 Stills (illness) is expected to be available Sunday against the Steelers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Stills was added to the Texans' Week 3 injury report after being limited in Friday's practice. With Will Fuller, Brandin Cooks and Randall Cobb also in Houston's wide receiver mix, steady volume remains an issue for Stills, but he's capable of stepping into a larger role if any of the team's other key options are forced to miss any time.
SEPTEMBER 27, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Questionable with illness Stills was limited in Friday's practice due to an illness and is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers.
Impact Stills wasn't listed on the injury report until Friday, an indication that his illness is a new development. It's at least encouraging that the 28-year-old was able to practice on a limited basis, but a final decision on his status may not come until around 11:30 a.m. ET on Sunday. Aaron Reiss of The Athletic confirms that Stills' illness is not related to COVID-19.
SEPTEMBER 25, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Two catches Week 2 Stills caught two of three targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 33-16 loss to Baltimore in Week 2.
Impact Stills made his first grabs of the season after being shutout on two targets Week 1. His playing time increased from 22 to 28 snaps, the result of a Will Fuller hamstring injury in the first half. Fuller returned to the game and is expected to be ready to go Week 3 in Pittsburgh. Stills has five targets through two games and is on pace for the fewest of his career.
SEPTEMBER 21, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Quiet night in opener Stills played 22 snaps and had two targets in Thursday's 34-20 loss to the Chiefs in Week 1.
Impact Stills' fate was tied to the availability of Brandin Cooks, who showed up on the injury report with a quadriceps issue leading up to Week 1. Cooks was available, which put a cap on Stills' opportunities.
