Sticking with Texans
TEHouston Texans
January 22, 2024
Houston signed Keene to a reserve/future contract Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Keene played just one game with the Texans this season, but they apparently saw enough to give him a chance at a spot on their 53-man roster for 2024. He has good speed and agility, but he's only suited up for seven games since he was drafted in the third round by the Patriots in 2020.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2020
Though neither Keene nor fellow 2020 third-rounder Devin Asiasi are threats to supplant the team's top two tight ends (Hunter Henry and Jonnu Smith), the Patriots no doubt would like to see added contributions from Keene and/or Asiasi. Since being taken 101st overall out of Virginia Tech, Keene has recorded just three catches for 16 yards in six regular-season games. The 23-year-old spent last season on injured reserve, but he's presumably past the knee injury that landed him there and will look to reclaim his roster spot ahead of the 2022 campaign.
Keene, who the Patriots took 101st overall in last year's draft, finished his rookie season with just three catches on five targets for 16 yards in six games. Meanwhile, fellow rookie Devin Asiasi logged two catches on seven targets for 39 yards and a TD in nine contests. It was hardly the production the Patriots were looking for when they used a pair of third-round picks to bolster their tight end depth chart. The team wasted no time seeking upgrades in free agency this offseason, signing Hunter Henry and Jonnu Smith to lucrative deals. In that context, Keene's path to targets in 2021 is murky, but he's versatile enough to earn snaps at fullback, which could help him carve out a complementary role in the New England offense.
After years of enjoying top-level production from Rob Gronkowski, the tight end position became largely an afterthought in the Patriots' passing game last season. As April's NFL Draft approached, the Patriots' depth chart at the position consisted of Matt LaCosse and Ryan Izzo. With that in mind, the team doubled down by taken both Keene and Devin Asiasi in the third round. Both players have some long-term fantasy upside, but with a QB transition on tap in the wake of Tom Brady's departure, neither figures to be a reliable lineup option out of the gate. Keene posted modest volume at Virginia Tech, but his per-target efficiency was notable thanks to his standout work after the catch. With an athletic profile similar to Austin Hooper's, the 6-4, 253-pound Keene - who just turned 21 in April - has the potential to ascend to a starting job, especially now that LaCosse has opted out of the 2020 season.
