Texans WR Tank Dell went without a catch in Sunday's loss at Green Bay. It marked the first time in his young career that Dell didn't record a reception in a game he didn't leave early. His only previous no-catch game came in Week 13 last season, when Dell suffered a season-ending leg fracture on just his ninth snap.
Texans WR Tank Dell caught 6 of 7 targets for 77 yards and finally caught a TD with WR Nico Collins out. As long as Collins is on the sideline, Dell should be a solid fantasy contributor.
The Texans placed WR Nico Collins on IR. That knocks him out for at least the next four games vs. the Patriots, Packers, Colts, and Jets. Collins will be eligible to return for Week 10's game against the Lions. "While hamstrings can be tricky, the belief is that Nico Collins will be back sooner, rather than later," NFL Network's Ian Rapoport tweets.
When addressing WR Nico Collins' injury on Monday, Texans HC Demeco Ryans said, "it takes a couple of weeks for a hamstring, so we'll evaluate that on a week-to-week basis." It's not exactly a concrete timetable for Collins' return, but it sounds like the Texans are bracing for a potential multi-game absence. We'll keep an eye on Collins this week, but fantasy owners should at least prepare to be without him for this Sunday's game vs. the Patriots. Collins' absence would leave behind a ton of opportunity for WRs Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell. Xavier Hutchinson stepped in as Houston's No. 3 WR in the second half of last week's game but would be a desperation fantasy play.
The Texans consider WR Nico Collins "day to day" with the hamstring injury that knocked him out of Sunday's game vs. the Bills, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. It sounds like Collins avoided a significant injury, although we'd still consider him iffy for Week 6's meeting with the Patriots. We'll keep you updated on Collins' status throughout this week. WRs Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell will get rankings boosts with Collins misses more time.
Texans WR Tank Dell caught all four of his targets for 38 yards in Sunday's win over the Bills. He also carried once for a loss of five yards. The quiet outing was even more disappointing considering WR Nico Collins missed the entire second half with a hamstring injury. Dell ranked just fourth on the Texans in targets with a 10.5% share.
Texans WR Tank Dell (chest) is not listed on the final Week 5 injury report. He practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday, so he should be ready for a full slate of snaps vs. the Bills this weekend.
Texans WR Tank Dell (chest) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. We're tentatively projecting him to play vs. the Bills this weekend but will keep you updated on his progress leading up to that one.
Texans WR Tank Dell (chest) has been ruled out for Sunday's game vs. the Jaguars. He's reportedly dealing with painful bruised ribs. We'll see if Dell can make it back for Week 5's game against the Bills. It's unclear how Dell's snaps will be divvied between WRs Xavier Hutchinson, Robert Woods, and John Metchie. None is a viable Week 4 fantasy play. WR Nico Collins, WR Stefon Diggs, and TE Dalton Schultz could pick up extra targets with Dell out.
Texans WR Tank Dell is "unlikely" to play vs. the Jaguars this weekend, according to insider Aaron Wilson. Dell is dealing with "painful bruised ribs" suffered near the end of last week's loss to the Vikings, Wilson adds. The injury is not considered long term.
