Texans' Tank Dell: Eclipses century mark in loss
Tank Dell secured six of nine targets for 126 yards in the Houston Texans' 21-13 loss to the Jets on Thursday night.Dell was the last man standing of the Texans' top wideouts with Stefon Diggs (IR, knee) and Nico Collins (IR, hamstring) sidelined, and the second-year pro turned in a season-high yardage total. Dell also tied his personal best in targets for the campaign, and he should continue playing an integral role in a Week 10 interconference home showdown with the Lions on Sunday night, Nov. 10, even with Collins expected to return for that game.

Texans' Tank Dell: Slots in as top wideout for Week 9
Tank Dell is expected to step into a larger role in the Houston Texans' passing game Thursday against the Jets with Nico Collins (hamstring) still sidelined and Stefon Diggs (knee) having been ruled out for the season, ESPN.com reports.Collins has already missed the Texans' past three games, with Dell producing an 11-92-2 receiving line on 17 targets over that span. Diggs has drawn 23 targets over that same stretch, but after he suffered a season-ending ACL tear in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Colts, the door is open for Dell to carve out a bigger role, along with Xavier Hutchinson, Robert Woods and John Metchie as well as tight end Dalton Schultz. Collins is reportedly on track to come off IR when first eligible in Week 10, but Diggs' absence for the rest of the season should still guarantee Dell sizable target volume in the second half of the season. Dell thrived as a rookie last season as the top complement to Collins before breaking his leg in Week 13.

Texans' Tank Dell: Gets into end zone Sunday
Tank Dell secured all four targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in the Houston Texans' 23-20 win over the Colts on Sunday.Dell tied Dalton Schultz and Joe Mixon for second in receptions and finished third in receiving yards, but it took a seven-yard touchdown grab late in the second quarter to save the second-year wideout from a middling fantasy performance. Dell has scored both of his touchdowns on the campaign in the last three games, affording him some modest momentum heading into a Week 9 road matchup against the Jets on Thursday night.

Texans' Tank Dell: Blanked in Week 7 loss
Tank Dell didn't catch any of his four targets in Sunday's 24-22 loss to the Packers.Dell was targeted in the end zone on consecutive plays on Houston's first drive, but the first went off his hands and he came down out of bounds with the second one, the latter of which didn't count due to a defensive offside. He ended up without a catch on three official first-half targets and was blanked on his only second-half target as C.J. Stroud threw for only 86 yards in an uncharacteristically shabby outing for Houston's entire passing game. Dell should continue to see additional opportunities as the Houston Texans remain without star receiver Nico Collins (hamstring) against the Colts in Week 8.

Texans' Tank Dell: Nine targets, TD in Week 6 win
Tank Dell caught seven of nine targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-21 win over the Patriots.Dell didn't take long to step up in the absence of Nico Collins (hamstring), notching a 20-yard catch on the opening drive before eventually capping that possession with a two-yard touchdown reception. He finished with the team lead in targets, narrowly beating out Dalton Schultz (eight) and Stefon Diggs (seven). Houston's entire passing game took the foot off the gas after building a 20-point lead in the third quarter, but Dell is poised for an extended uptick in usage for the duration of Collins' stint on IR. Collins will miss at least four games, the second of which will be a Week 7 trip to Green Bay.

Texans' Tank Dell: Role may expand with Collins out
Tank Dell could see additional targets for at least the next four games after the Houston Texans placed Nico Collins (hamstring) on injured reserve Wednesday.Dell has posted more than 40 receiving yards only once this season and is still searching for his first touchdown of 2024 after scoring seven times in 11 games as a rookie in 2023 prior to suffering a season-ending injury to his lower leg. Through the first five weeks of the season, Dell has struggled to earn meaningful volume in the passing game while ceding the majority of targets to Collins and Stefon Diggs, but Collins' absence will allow Dell to take on a regular role in two-receiver sets. After Collins exited early in last week's win over the Bills, Xavier Hutchinson served as the primary No. 3 wideout behind Diggs and Dell.

Texans' Tank Dell: Four catches in return
Tank Dell caught all four of his targets for 38 yards and rushed once for minus-5 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Bills.Dell returned from a one-game absence due to a chest injury but continued to play a much smaller role compared to his rookie season in 2023. He's averaging just 31.8 receiving yards per game and has yet to score a touchdown in 2024 after posting 64.5 receiving yards and scoring seven touchdowns in 11 appearances last season. Dell could see some extra volume against the Patriots in Week 6 if Nico Collins (hamstring) doesn't play after leaving Sunday's win over the Bills, which may present an opportunity for Dell to shake off his slow start.

Texans' Tank Dell: Returning to action Sunday
Tank Dell (chest) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Bills.Dell didn't practice before he was ruled out for a Week 4 matchup with the Jaguars, but his chest injury improved enough for him to get back on the field this week. He was limited both Wednesday and Thursday before logging a full session Friday, thereby paving the way for his return to action. Dell will operate as the Houston Texans' No. 3 WR behind Nico Collins and Stefon Diggs on Sunday, which so far has equated to nine catches (on 17 targets) for 99 yards and no touchdowns in three appearances this season.

Texans' Tank Dell: Reps capped Thursday
Tank Dell (chest) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.Dell sat out the Houston Texans' Week 4 win over the Jaguars with a bruised chest, but he looks to be trending in the right direction for Sunday's game against the Bills after turning in limited practices Wednesday and Thursday. The Texans will decide whether Dell carries an injury designation into the weekend following Friday's practice.

Texans' Tank Dell: Limited in return to practice
Tank Dell (chest) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.His return to practice, even in a limited capacity, lends credence to reports from earlier this week suggesting Dell is expected to return for Sunday's game against Buffalo. He didn't practice last week and ended up missing a win over the Jaguars, which allowed Robert Woods to fill in as a seldom-targeted No. 3 receiver alongside Nico Collins and Stefon Diggs. The No. 3 role demands more usage when Dell is filling it, but he's seen his volume suffer considerably while sharing the field with Diggs and Collins this year, drawing targets on just 16.5 percent of his routes, down from 24.5 percent as a rookie.
