Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell (back) was added to the injury report on Friday and is now listed as questionable for Sunday's game, according to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. This is not a positive sign for his status for this weekend's game, as the sophomore wideout practiced in full earlier in the week. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to his status over the weekend, as he may end up being a game-time decision. The Texans are also listing top wideout Nico Collins (hamstring) as questionable as well. If both wideouts are unable to play, fantasy managers should look to find an alternative option over quarterback C.J. Stroud. Last week, Dell enjoyed his best outing of the season and brought in a season-high 126 yards, and he should be viewed as a solid WR2 if he is able to play.
For the first time this season, Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell reached a triple-digit receiving total with 126 yards on six catches in a 21-13 loss against the New York Jets. He was targeted a team-high nine times, but Houston completed only 11 passes for 191 yards as a team. The second-year receiver filled in nicely as the No. 1 option on the Texans, who were playing without Nico Collins (hamstring) and Stefon Diggs (knee). Collins is eligible to return next week, though Dell faces a nice matchup with or without him in Week 10 against the Detroit Lions.
Injuries have rearranged the Houston Texans' offense, leaving wide receiver Tank Dell as the team's top pass-catching option heading into a Thursday Night Football showdown at the New York Jets. The 25-year-old figures to see a significant, if temporary, role increase with fellow receiver Nico Collins (hamstring) set to miss a minimum of one more game and Stefon Diggs (knee) out for the season. Unfortunately for Houston, the Jets boast arguably the best cornerback tandem in football with Sauce Gardner and D.J. Reed. Dell caught a touchdown last week and should see more targets, though this matchup isn't ideal, making him a low-end WR2 or flex option in Week 9.
Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell found the end zone on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts, the highlight of a day that included four catches for 35 yards. The second-year receiver caught all four of his targets, and unlike last week, hauled in a red-zone pass from quarterback C.J. Stroud for a seven-yard touchdown. Elsewhere, fellow wide receiver Stefon Diggs (knee) left the game with what appeared to be a serious injury. Top receiver Nico Collins (hamstring) is currently on injured reserve, so fantasy managers will have to monitor Houston's injury reports this week. Dell and the Texans take on the New York Jets in Week 9.
Coming off his worst game of the year, Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell is a boom-or-bust flex option in a decent matchup in Week 8 against the Indianapolis Colts. Fantasy managers who played the 24-year-old receiver last week got crickets: no catches on four targets, including a drop of a would-have-been touchdown. Houston remains committed to keeping him involved, however, and leading receiver Nico Collins (hamstring) is out at least two more weeks. The Colts have allowed 10 passing touchdowns in seven games and rank 26th in air yards allowed. Dell believers will feel he's due for a rebound in Week 8, but he comes with obvious risk.
