Webb was pressed into duty as a slot receiver Sunday and caught two of three targets for 13 yards in a 24-21 loss to Indianapolis.

EDGE Analysis

Webb is Houston's third-string quarterback and a full-timer on special teams, but was needed when DeAndre Carter left the game with a concussion. Carter was getting reps because Keke Coutee (hamstring) was inactive for a third straight week. Coach Bill O'Brien preferred using the versatile Webb over an established wideout like Sammie Coates. Webb has NFL experience as a receiver, having caught eight career passes for 61 yards. If health issues linger into Week 15 against the Jets, the Texans could make Vyncint Smith active next week and have a couple of wide receivers on their practice squad in addition to Coates.
