Texans WR Tank Dell has been diagnosed with a fractured fibula and will be placed on IR, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Dell will miss at least four games and is likely done for the regular season. We'll look for a more concrete timetable for his return. Dell's injury is a hit to QB C.J. Stroud's fantasy value but leaves behind a lot of opportunity for Houston's other pass catchers. Nico Collins will be the clear No. 1 the rest of the way, with WRs Noah Brown, Robert Woods, and John Metchie behind him. We'll have more on those guys in this week's waiver wire article.
Texans WR Tank Dell's left ankle got rolled up on in the first quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Broncos. He had to be carted back to the locker room. It's safe to assume his day is over. Let's hope the rookie is able to play again this season.
Texans WR Tank Dell (calf) is active for today’s game vs. the Broncos. He got in two limited practices to close the week and never seemed in danger of missing this one. Dell is fine to keep in fantasy lineups.
Texans WR Noah Brown (knee) is expected to play vs. the Broncos today, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Brown got in limited practices on Wednesday and Thursday but did not practice on Friday, so we're a bit surprised he's playing. This will be the first time since Week 1 that Brown, Tank Dell, Nico Collins, and Robert Woods are all available. Brown actually led the Texans with a 75% route rate in that one, although it's safe to say that won't be the case today. We'd try not to use Brown in Week 13 fantasy lineups with the playing-time uncertainty in his first game off a multi-week knee injury.
Insider Jordan Schultz confirms that WR Tank Dell (calf) is expected to play vs. the Broncos on Sunday. The rookie is listed as questionable, but HC Demeco Ryans said early in the week that Dell would likely be available for this one. We're expecting him to play his usual role, meaning that Dell should be in fantasy lineups.
Texans WR Tank Dell (calf) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Broncos. He got in two limited practices to close the week and said Friday that he’ll play on Sunday. Dell can stay penciled into fantasy lineups. We’ll get Houston’s inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday.
Texans WR Tank Dell (calf) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. The rookie is fully expected to play vs. the Broncos this weekend, but check back tomorrow to see how he's listed on the final injury report.
Texans WR Tank Dell missed Wednesday's practice with a calf injury. He had imaging done on the calf after last week's loss to the Jaguars, per insider Aaron Wilson, but the injury is considered "relatively minor," and Dell is expected to play vs. the Broncos this weekend. We'll keep an eye on the rookie over the next few days, but he can stay penciled into Week 13 fantasy lineups.
Texans WR Tank Dell posted a 5-50-1 receiving line in Sunday's loss to the Jaguars. That trailed WR Nico Collins (7-104-1) and marked the second straight game in which he drew fewer targets than Collins. But Dell had another target negated by penalty, and it came on a key play. Dell caught a 62-yard pass that would have been the team's longest play by 28 yards, but an illegal-shift penalty negated the play. That wiped out a target that would have tied Dell with Collins for the team lead and eliminated a catch that would have given him the slight edge over Collins. Dell remains a strong target bet and should be in most fantasy lineups the rest of the way.
Texans WR Noah Brown (knee) remained sidelined on Wednesday. At this point, fantasy owners shouldn't be counting on him returning for this weekend's game vs. the Jaguars. That'd again leave Tank Dell, Nico Collins, and Robert Woods as Houston's top three WRs.
Texans WR Noah Brown (knee) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Cardinals. That leaves Robert Woods in the No. 3 WR spot, behind Tank Dell and Nico Collins. Woods has been inefficient all season and is no better than a WR4 today.
Texans WR Nico Collins (calf) did not practice on Wednesday. No word yet on the severity of the injury or whether Collins is in danger of missing this weekend's game vs. the Bengals. His absence would be a boost for WRs Tank Dell and Noah Brown and TE Dalton Schultz. Check back tomorrow for another update on Collins.
Texans WR Robert Woods (foot) remained sidelined on Wednesday. His absence vs. the Bengals this weekend would keep Nico Collins, Tank Dell, and Noah Brown locked in as Houston's top three WRs.
Texans WR Tank Dell hauled in six balls for 114 yards and two scores in the 39-37 Week 9 win over the Bucs. The rookie came up clutch on the game-winning drive, catching a 26-yarder to get the Texans down to Tampa's 15-yard line -- and then securing a 15-yard TD on the very next play. Dell tied TE Dalton Schultz with a team-high 11 targets and also carried twice. It was a strong bounce-back effort from Dell, who'd been mostly quiet since posting 7-72-1 and 5-145-1 lines in Weeks 2 and 3. We'll still need to check on Dell's playing time once WR Robert Woods returns from his foot injury. Dell played behind Woods and WR Noah Brown back in Week 1. But it'd be malpractice for the Texans to cut Dell's snaps considering how explosive he's been this season. The upcoming schedule is favorable: Bengals, Cardinals, Jaguars, and Broncos.
Texans WR Robert Woods (foot) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Bucs, as expected. That leaves Nico Collins, Tank Dell, and Noah Brown as Houston’s clear top three WRs. See where they sit in the Week 9 Rankings.
Texans WR Robert Woods is expected to miss 2-3 weeks with his foot injury, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Woods is out for today's game vs. the Panthers, and it sounds like he'll also miss Week 9. His absence can't be bad news for WRs Nico Collins and Tank Dell.
Texans WR Robert Woods (foot) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Panthers. WR Tank Dell (concussion) is off the final injury report and will play. The rookie is a WR3 with upside against a burnable Carolina secondary.
