Texans' Tank Dell: Three long catches
Tank Dell recorded three catches on five targets for 72 yards in Sunday's 32-27 loss to the Titans.Dell saw his target volume dip as Nico Collins got more involved, though he made the most of the looks he received. He caught a long 39-yard pass early in the second quarter, with his other two receptions going for 17 and 16 yards. Dell is likely to get fewer looks in the offense with Collins in the mix, though he could be freed to work down the field with the majority of defensive attention elsewhere on Collins.

Texans' Tank Dell: Co-team-high yardage total
Tank Dell brought in four of seven targets for 54 yards in the Houston Texans' 34-10 win over the Cowboys on Monday night. He also rushed once for four yards.Dell and the returning Nico Collins tied for the team lead in receiving yards and targets -- the latter with Dalton Schultz -- while checking in second in receptions. The second-year wideout now has at least four catches in four consecutive games, but he's only exceeded 50 receiving yards in two of those contests. However, Dell should continue benefiting from the defensive attention teams are forced to bestow on Collins when Houston hosts the Titans in Week 12.

Texans' Tank Dell: Earns nine targets
Tank Dell recorded five receptions on nine targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Lions.Dell had another game as the Houston Texans' top pass-catching option with Nico Collins (hamstring) sidelined for another week. However, Dell failed to convert his opportunity, turning in a long reception of just 13 yards while also recording only one reception across the final two quarters. Overall, his disappointing season continued, as he's been held below 50 receiving yards in six of nine contests.

Texans' Tank Dell: Active versus Detroit
Tank Dell (back) is listed as active for Sunday night's game against the Lions.Dell, who worked fully Wednesday and Thursday, approached the contest listed as questionable after being limited in practice Friday, but he'll be available to face Detroit, unlike fellow wideout Nico Collins (hamstring), who was activated off injured reserve Saturday but deemed inactive Sunday. In that context, barring any in-game setbacks or limitations, Dell should have an opportunity to remain a key cog in Houston's passing game in Week 10 while leading a WR corps that also includes Xavier Hutchinson, Robert Woods, John Metchie and Steven Sims.

Texans' Tank Dell: Expected to suit up in Week 10
Tank Dell (back), who is questionable for Sunday's game against Detroit, is expected to play, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.Dell popped up on the injury report Friday and logged a limited practice due to a back issue. While late-week additions to the injury report are often ominous, Dell appears set to play through the injury. Fellow wideout Nico Collins (hamstring) was activated off injured reserve Saturday and could be active Sunday, so the Houston Texans might have their top two receivers available for a crucial contest against the Lions. It's important to note, however, that Sunday's game won't kick off until 8:20 p.m. ET, so fantasy managers who roster Dell or Collins may want to have a backup plan in place since neither is 100 percent certain to play.

Texans' Tank Dell: Questionable for Sunday
Tank Dell (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday night's game against the Lions after being limited in practice Friday.Dell wasn't on the Houston Texans' injury report Wednesday or Thursday, so his addition Friday is notable. Meanwhile, fellow WR Nico Collins (IR, hamstring) was limited in his return to practice Friday and carries a questionable game status as well. Look for added context with regard to the duo's Week 10 availability to arrive no later than Saturday night or early Sunday via the usual posting of weekly injury updates from national reporters, but the Texans' 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday night complicates things from a fantasy perspective.

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.
