Houston Texans Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

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.

Texans WR Robert Woods (foot) is not expected to play vs. the Panthers on Sunday, per insider Aaron Wilson. Hopefully you weren't hoping to use Woods in Week 8 fantasy lineups. The big impact here in on WR Tank Dell, who we were worried might not play a full slate of snaps alongside Woods and WR Noah Brown. Now that Woods is out, Nico Collins, Dell, and Brown should be locked in as Houston's top three WRs.

Texans WR Robert Woods (foot) did not practice on Wednesday. That's worrisome with Houston coming off a bye. We'll see if Woods gets back on the field tomorrow. His absence vs. the Panthers this weekend would lock in Nico Collins, Tank Dell, and Noah Brown as the Texans' top three WRs.

Texans WR Tank Dell (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. He's on track to return for this weekend's game vs. the Panthers.

The league has suspended Broncos S Kareem Jackson for four games because of his love for committing dirty hits. His latest infraction was a "forceful blow to the head/neck area" of Packers TE Luke Musgrave. He previously took similar shots at Raiders WR Jakobi Meyers and Commanders TE Logan Thomas. NFL Network reports that Jackson is appealing the suspension. Expect a quick resolution to that appeal, and we'll see if there's any adjustment to the suspension's length. P.J. Locke filled in after Jackson got ejected from the win over Green Bay. he figures to start while Jackson's out.

Bills WR Stefon Diggs hauled just 6 of 12 targets for 58 receiving yards and a TD in Week 7’s surprising loss vs. the Patriots. A star player like Diggs catching only half of his passes isn’t super ideal, but fantasy managers can’t be too upset considering he found paydirt in the contest. Buffalo’s leading pass-catcher on Sunday was rookie TE Dalton Kincaid. The first-year player finally broke out, roping in all 8 of his targets for a team-leading 75 receiving yards. He and fellow TE Dawson Knox played on a similar number of offensive snaps (43 and 45, respectively) though Kincaid out-targeted his counterpart by a margin of 5. We’ll be interested to see if this is trend continues on Thursday night’s Week 8 game vs. the Buccaneers.

Bills WR Stefon Diggs delivered a star performance in Week 6, logging 10 catches on 16 targets for 100 receiving yards vs. the Giants. Beyond him, no other Bills’ pass-catcher exceeded 3 catches or 25 receiving yards in the contest. Sunday night saw an uncharacteristically lousy performance from Buffalo, though their collective efforts were enough to pull out the victory. Next week’s divisional showdown vs. the struggling Patriots should present solid grounds for more Bills besides Diggs to deliver fantasy production.

Texans WR Nico Collins hauled 4 of 6 targets for a team-high 80 receiving yards in Week 6’s win vs. the Saints. TE Dalton Schultz also had a good game, posting 4 catches for 61 yards and a TD on Sunday. After a slow start to the season, Schultz has now recorded at least 40 receiving yards and 1 TD in three consecutive games. We won’t see the Texans again until Week 8 vs. the Panthers. Hopefully, by then, fantasy managers will have rookie WR Nathaniel ‘Tank’ Dell (concussion) back in the fold.

For the fourth time this season, Texans RB Dameon Pierce failed to exceed 40 rushing yards. The second-year back tallied 13 carries for 34 yards in Week 6 vs. the Saints and saw no involvement as a pass-catcher. His teammate Devin Singletary logged a team-high 58 rushing yards and added 1 catch on 2 targets on Sunday. The Texans are set to go on their bye week next weekend, but Pierce shouldn’t be thought of as much more than a flex option until further notice.

Texans QB C.J. Stroud completed 13 of 27 pass attempts for 199 yards with 2 TDs and 1 INT in Week 6’s win vs. the Saints. Though the rookie posted his lowest passing yardage total this season, his 14.2 fantasy points ranked 10th among QBs entering Sunday night. Stroud has proven to be a reliable fantasy option in 2023 and is set to go on bye in Week 7. His next game comes in Week 8 vs. the Panthers.

Texans LB Denzel Perryman is inactive for today's game against the Saints. He put in full practices all week and carried no injury designation into Sunday after returning last week from a hand injury. So this looks like a healthy scratch. That combines with Perryman's decreased playing time last week to signal the team is turning to rookie Henry To'oTo'o and Blake Cashman as the LB leaders. Perryman is droppable in your IDP league.

Texans WR Robert Woods (ribs) is active for today’s game vs. the Saints. He was a full participant in Friday’s practice, so he should be ready for a full slate of snaps today. With WR Tank Dell out with his concussion, Woods is a viable WR4 in PPR leagues.

Texans WR Tank Dell (concussion) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Saints. The rookie gets a Week 7 bye and should be cleared to return for Week 8.

Texans WR Robert Woods (ribs) is expected to play vs. the Saints today, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Woods quietly leads Houston with 40 targets through five games and could get a volume boost today with WR Tank Dell out. The injury adds some risk to his profile, but Woods is worth considering as a WR4 in PPR leagues.

ESPN's Adam Schefter confirms that Texans WR Tank Dell (concussion) is not expected to play vs. the Saints today. He's listed as questionable but only returned to a limited practice on Friday, leaving him as a long shot to clear the protocol before kickoff. Dell gets a Week 7 bye and should be back for Week 8.

Texans WR Robert Woods (ribs) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Saints. He was a full participant in Friday’s practice, which seemingly puts him on track to play. An active Woods would be in the WR4 discussion, getting a potential target boost with WR Tank Dell (concussion) out. WR Noah Brown (groin) is off the injury report and will play Sunday for the first time since Week 1.

Texans WR Tank Dell (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Saints. He returned to a limited practice on Friday after missing the previous two days. Dell is still a long shot to be cleared by Sunday, but we’ll keep you updated on his status.

Texans WR Robert Woods (ribs) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. That gives him a shot to play vs. the Saints this weekend. We'll see how Woods is listed on the final injury report tomorrow. WR Tank Dell (concussion) remained sidelined on Thursday and is a long shot to play this weekend.

Texans WR Tank Dell (concussion) did not practice on Wednesday. The rookie is unlikely to play vs. the Saints this weekend. WR Robert Woods (ribs) was also out on Wednesday and is iffy for Sunday's game. Houston did get WR Noah Brown (groin) back to a full practice today. He'd join WRs John Metchie and Xavier Hutchinson behind No. 1 Nico Collins if Dell and Woods are out.
