Texans RB Jonathan Grimes rushed twice for 11 yards and caught 4-of-4 targets for 43 yards in Saturday's Divisional Round loss to New England.

Grimes took over as Houston’s third-down and long-yardage back late in the season. On Saturday, Grimes made a third-down catch for a first down late in the first quarter and ran six yards for a first down a few plays later. Grimes disappeared before fourth-quarter garbage time, where Brock Osweiler checked down to him frequently. Grimes is a pedestrian passing-down back. An impending free agent, Grimes will have to compete for a roster spot in 2017.

Texans coach Bill O'Brien called Jonathan Grimes a "situational player."

Grimes averaged a healthy 8.6 yards on five carries last week against the Packers with most of those runs converting long third downs, but it does not look like he is headed for a bigger workload. "If there's a bunch of situational plays in the game, he's going to come up big for us," O'Brien said. "He's come up big for us on third down. He does certain things on first and second down, two-minute drill. I mean the guy does a little bit of everything for us and that's a guy that is very valuable to a pro football team." Grimes is not going to get enough work to become fantasy relevant, but his healthy return seems to have knocked Akeem Hunt out of the rotation.
