Nathaniel Dell Player Comp
Skyler Green
Dell has elite speed and explosion but is on the small side. May not hold up, like Green coming out of LSU, but had great production with a ton of routes.

Tank Dell Still Waiting For ACL Surgery
Texans WR Tank Dell has undergone successful surgery to repair the MCL and LCL in his left knee but still needs a second surgery to repair the ACL, insider Aaron Wilson reports. That second procedure will happen soon, per Wilson. We haven't heard a rehab timeline for the December 21 injury, but Wilson writes that Dell's return will "likely" come in 2026. That matches the last report we got on Dell a few days after he went down. He's not worth a pick in early best-ball drafts. We'll keep you updated on his recovery.

Texans Fire OC Bobby Slowik
The Texans fired OC Bobby Slowik, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. It's a big fall for Slowik, who was mentioned as a potential HC candidate just a year ago. He helped QB C.J. Stroud to an impressive 2023 rookie season, with Houston finishing 12th in total yards and 13th in points. But Stroud and the Texans offense took a step back this past year, ranking 22nd in yards and 19th in points. Slowik took some heat for a high early-down run rate, but the Texans finished 10th in neutral pass rate and fifth in pass rate over expected. To our eyes, the biggest issue in Houston was an offensive line that ranked 31st in ESPN's run block win rate and 22nd in pass block win rate. We'll see what the Texans do to bolster that unit this offseason -- and who they tab to replace Slowik.
