Texans WR Noah Brown dominated targets in Sunday's win over the Titans. His 11 looks marked 30.6% of the team's total pass attempts and more than doubled his nearest teammate. WR Robert Woods tied two others with 5 targets, catching three for 30 yards. He and Woods actually trailed rookie WR Xavier Hutchinson in routes, though. Hutchinson ran a route on 87.5% of Houston dropbacks, leading Brown by one route and Woods by five. Hutchinson went catchless on 3 targets. Brown has room to stay relevant against the Browns in Week 16. But he'll likely have to compete with WR Nico Collins, who missed Sunday's game but seems to be trending toward a Week 16 return. We'll watch the whole situation as we set our Week 16 rankings. Don't expect Hutchinson or Woods to be relevant over the final two fantasy weeks outside of deep leagues.
Texans WR Nico Collins (calf) did not practice on Wednesday. His injury reportedly isn't serious, but Collins is considered unlikely to play vs. the Titans this weekend. His absence would leave Houston with WRs Noah Brown, Robert Woods, John Metchie, and Xavier Hutchinson -- likely catching passes from QB Davis Mills.
Texans WR Nico Collins injured his calf in the first quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Jets and is questionable to return. Houston, of course, lost WR Tank Dell for the season last week. They're now down to WRs Noah Brown, Robert Woods, John Metchie, and Xavier Hutchinson.
Update: Collins has been ruled out.
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 Noah Brown (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Broncos. It’ll be his first action since Week 10 – and the first time Houston has Brown, Tank Dell, Nico Collins, and Robert Woods available at the same time since Week 1. We’re betting on Brown out-snapping and out-producing Woods as the No. 3 WR. But we’d rather wait on getting Brown back 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.
Texans WR Noah Brown (knee) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Jaguars. He remained sidelined in practice all week and has no timetable for return. Robert Woods will again operate as Houston’s No. 3 WR behind Tank Dell and Nico Collins this weekend.

Texans WR Noah Brown (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Cardinals.

Brown’s absence will keep Robert Woods in the No. 3 WR role, behind Tank Dell and Nico Collins.
Texans WR Robert Woods (foot) is active for today’s game vs. the Bengals. He was a full participant in Friday's practice, so the foot shouldn’t be a major issue. Woods’ return is good timing with WR Nico Collins out with his calf injury. Woods will join Tank Dell and Noah Brown as Houston’s top three WRs. See where they all sit in the Week 10 WR Rankings.
Texans WR Robert Woods (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Bengals. He was a full participant in Friday's practice, and insider Aaron Wilson confirms that Woods is expected back this weekend. It's good timing with WR Nico Collins out. Woods will join Tank Dell and Noah Brown as Houston's top three WRs. Woods averaged 7.2 targets, 3.7 catches, and 38 yards over the first six games of the season.

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.
