Tank Dell lands on injured reserve/return

Tank Dell

HOU Wide Receiver #1

Player Stats

Texans placed WR Tank Dell on injured reserve, designated to return.

The designation to return means that Dell is expected to contribute in some capacity this season, although he appears a ways off still. With Jaylin Noel still nursing an injury after experiencing a setback and Jayden Higgins lost for the season, recent acquisition Kayshon Boutte has all the runway to operate as the WR2 opposite Nico Collins to start the season. Xavier Hutchinson should also see an uptick in opportunities while tight end Dalton Schultz should see a significant boost in weekly volume.

Kayshon Boutte

HOU Wide Receiver #14

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Kayshon Boutte caught 2-of-2 targets for 21 yards in Houston’s Week 3 loss to the Colts.

Boutte played 35-of-52 snaps, and if that sounds low, it actually lead the team in Nick Caley’s absolutely bizarre WR platoon situation where it seems like he is trying to find someone who he trusts. Boutte looks the best of the bunch, but we can’t recommend trying to eat these non-existent fantasy points. Jaylin Noel (2/17 on two targets) and Jared Wayne (1/20 on four targets including an inexcusable drop) continue to haunt the situation.
Dalton Schultz

HOU Tight End #86

Dalton Schultz caught 3-of-3 targets for 30 yards in Houston’s Week 3 loss to the Colts.

Schultz told the CBS booth before the game that he “hopes to not have stat lines” like he had in Week 2, an anecdote they related as he had just one catch in the fourth quarter. Sounds like news that fantasy managers wish they had heard yesterday. He didn’t have a catch in the first half and yielded a red zone touchdown to spoiler Foster Moreau. Schultz has low-end TE1 status in a classic #RevengeGame against the Cowboys in Week 4.
Nico Collins

HOU Wide Receiver #12

Texans ruled out WR Nico Collins (hamstring) for Week 3 against the Colts.

Collins will miss his second consecutive game with yet another hamstring strain. Last week, the passing offense ran through TE Dalton Schultz, who earned 13 targets. Fellow Texans WR Xavier Hutchinson was next with eight targets, but he caught just three, making for a shaky FLEX option this week.
Kayshon Boutte

HOU Wide Receiver #14

Kayshon Boutte caught 3-of-5 targets for 37 yards in Houston’s Week 2 loss to the Bengals.

Expected to be “used a lot” by Ian Rapoport’s reporting, Boutte was on the field for 53-of-76 snaps. He either didn’t look completely comfortable with the offense yet or wasn’t fully integrated, depending on how nice you want to be about it — C.J. Stroud’s one near-pick was in his area on a ball he wasn’t expecting and it was clear he and Dalton Schultz weren’t on the same page. Boutte’s role should continue to grow next week assuming Nico Collins remains out but the Texans haven’t really embraced his talents yet.
Dalton Schultz

HOU Tight End #86

Dalton Schultz caught 12-of-14 targets for 140 yards in Houston’s Week 2 loss to the Bengals.

An incredible PPR scam as the Texans had him as the main checkdown receiver while trailing for much of the game. Eight of the 12 catches came in the fourth quarter as C.J. Stroud tried in vain to push the rest of this offense anywhere. Don’t expect this much next week with Collins apparently questionable again, but Schultz clearly elevates in the pecking order and has TE1 appeal.
Kayshon Boutte

HOU Wide Receiver #14

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said Texans WR Kayshon Boutte could be used “a lot” in Week 2 against the Bengals.

Rapoport’s full quote is winding and hyperbolic, but it sounds like Boutte will be a featured receiver if the Texans believe he is ready to handle that role with WR Nico Collins (hamstring) sidelined. Rapoport notes that Boutte played in “the same” offensive scheme during his time with the Patriots, so adjusting to his new team’s playbook theoretically should have been easy. That said, Boutte caught just one pass last week. He can be treated as a volatile but viable FLEX starter in Week 2.
Kayshon Boutte

HOU Wide Receiver #14

Kayshon Boutte caught 1-of-2 targets for 21 yards in Houston’s Week 1 loss to the Bills.

Boutte managed just 36-of-79 snaps, third-most among Texans wideouts, as they ran weird platoons that had Jared Wayne, Jaylin Noel, and Xavier Hutchinson all on the field for at least 24 snaps. Until someone conclusively wins this job, or at least we start getting some juice that someone might win the job, it’ll be hard to start any of these receivers in fantasy football.
Dalton Schultz

HOU Tight End #86

Dalton Schultz caught 4-of-8 targets for 35 yards in Houston’s Week 1 loss to the Bills.

He did most of his work on the offense’s final drive, catching back-to-back targets for 26 yards. Schultz managed 52-of-79 snaps. If you were going to pick anyone in this offense besides David Montgomery and Nico Collins to return consistent fantasy value, it’s probably Schultz. It’s just, you know, there are not often three Texans worth starting in fantasy football. He’ll be a high-end TE2 against the Bengals in Week 2.
Kayshon Boutte

HOU Wide Receiver #14

Texans HC DeMeco Ryans said Kayshon Boutte will play in Week 1 against the Bills.

Speaking on Monday, Ryans said Boutte has been “picking up the playbook really well.” The fourth-year receiver was acquired in a trade with the Patriots back on August 24th and is expected to have an immediate role in the offense after the Texans lost Jayden Higgins to a torn ACL earlier this offseason. Boutte has served primarily as a field stretcher during his first three years in the league and shouldn’t be trusted in start/sit leagues this week.
Tank Dell

HOU Wide Receiver

Texans agreed to terms with WR Tank Dell on a one-year, $1.7 million contract restructure.

The deal includes $1 million in guarantees while saving the franchise almost $2 million against the cap. Dell is reportedly nearing a return from the devastating knee injury suffered in Week 16 of the 2024 season but will begin 2026 on the physically unable to perform list, meaning he will miss the first four games of the regular season. The contract restructure hints at a potential “prove it” year for Dell, giving the team options following 2026 pending health.

Dolphins coach Jeff Hafley said increasing Malik Willis’ designed run rate will be discussed game by game, “when we need him to.”

Hafley’s full quote is fairly non-committal. The first-year head coach was asked whether Willis could receive more designed rushes with De’Von Achane (knee) out for the year. Hafley said the game planning in that regard will “go game by game,” and be employed “situationally when we need him to.” For those hoping that Willis will consistently be involved in the run game, those outings could come, but the occurrences could be volatile. Willis remains a QB2 at this time.

Charbonnet is not guaranteed to play in Week 4 against the Chargers, but his return to practice is promising. Add him now. Seahawks rookie, Jadarian Price (chest), went from a limited session on Wednesday to sitting out on Thursday. Keep a close eye on this. Backup Emanuel Wilson would get the start if both Charbonnet and Price are sidelined, while George Holani handles passing downs.

Jadarian Price (chest) did not practice on Thursday.

It’s possible that this is just a precautionary rest day, but those typically occur on Wednesdays. Price should be viewed as questionable to play in Week 4 against the Chargers. Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald favorite, Zach Charbonnet (knee), returned as a limited participant. Backup RB Emanuel Wilson would likely get the start if Price and Charbonnet are both out this week.

ESPN’s Tim McManus reports that the Eagles are preparing to play without DeVonta Smith (hamstring) in Week 4 against the Rams.

The Eagles limited Smith’s practice reps last week, and he successfully suited up on game day, nabbing 6-of-8 targets for 65 yards. Apparently, the performance took a toll. The Eagles will likely be without their No. 1 wide receiver this week. Dontayvion Wicks will fill in as the team’s top receiver.

The Houston Chronicle’s Jonathan M. Alexander reports that Nico Collins (hamstring) was “optimistic” about playing in Week 4 against the Cowboys.

Alexander caught up with Collins after the Texans’ star player logged his second consecutive limited practice. Collins should probably still be treated as sitting somewhere in the questionable-to-probable range, but this is great to hear. Collins is a WR1, as usual, if active.
