Tank Dell (knee) will play in Week 7 vs. Giants

Tank Dell

HOU Wide Receiver #1

Player Stats

Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said Tank Dell (knee) will play in Week 7 against the Giants.

Dell will make his long-awaited return next week against the Giants. By the time he takes the field in Week 7, Dell will have been more than 22 months removed from his last regular-season game, which came in Week 16 of the 2024 season. Dell suffered a torn ACL, LCL, and MCL, along with a dislocated knee, in that game against the Chiefs and has been on a long road to recovery. He’ll join a crowded receiver room that recently acquired Marvin Harrison Jr., and Jaylin Noel has posted a solid 17-334-2 line through the first six weeks of the season and topped 100 yards in Sunday’s win over the Jaguars. Targets could be hard to come by for Dell, but his return next week is an impressive feat on its own given the injury he had to work through.

Texans ruled out Tank Dell (knee) for Week 6 against the Jaguars.

The Texans depart for London tonight to face the Jaguars on Sunday, and Dell will remain in Texas. He is currently practicing in full, but the team has not yet cleared him for game-day activities. Dell does not need to be stashed in 12-team leagues at this time.
Tank Dell

HOU Wide Receiver #1

Tank Dell (knee) is practicing in full for Week 6 against the Jaguars.

The Texans are facing the Jaguars in London this week. If Dell travels, that would indicate that Dell has a chance to play for the first time since suffering a multi-ligament tear in 2024. He would be a low-floor FLEX if he is active.
Tank Dell

HOU Wide Receiver #1

Tank Dell (knee) won’t play in Houston’s Week 5 game against the Titans.

He did not practice on Friday and was ruled out. The Texans reportedly pushed hard on Dell in full pads on Thursday’s practice despite the questionable listing, it seems his body did not react as they’d hoped. This leaves Jaylin Noel in a potential FLEX-useful spot against a rough Titans secondary.
Tank Dell

HOU Wide Receiver #1

Tank Dell (knee) was limited on Thursday.

The diminutive wide receiver remains limited through two practices. In most situations, that would put him on track to play. In this case, Dell might need to consistently practice fully before the Texans let him go out there on game day. Stay tuned.
Tank Dell

HOU Wide Receiver #1

Tank Dell (knee) was limited on Wednesday.

It is unclear when Dell will take the field on game day, but he is officially participating in his 21-day practice window. His range of potential outcomes is quite wide. Stashing him on fantasy benches is a reasonable move at this time, though he is not guaranteed to be a fantasy contributor.
Tank Dell

HOU Wide Receiver #1

Texans coach DeMeco Ryans said Tank Dell (knee/IR) will have his practice window opened.

Dell has missed the mandatory four games on injured reserve, but may be a week-to-week proposition at this point. None of the Texans secondary receivers have really hit the bar of fantasy interesting — partially because none of them gets full playing time — and we’d be skeptical that Dell would hit that either early in his return. But he could grow into a bigger role as the season plays out.
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.
Tank Dell

HOU Wide Receiver

Texans GM Nick Caserio said Tank Dell (knee) is “close” but “not quite there.”

He was already placed on injured reserve, so he’ll miss the first four games of the season. Reading between the lines it sounds like Dell has a chance to miss more than just the first four games of the season. Kayshon Boutte and Dalton Schultz will battle for the role of lead secondary target behind Nico Collins while Dell is sidelined.
Tank Dell

HOU Wide Receiver #1

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.
Jaylin Noel

HOU Wide Receiver

Texans WR Jaylin Noel (hamstring/finger) will be out for “a few weeks” after suffering “a little bit of a setback.”

NBC Houston’s Aaron Wilson noted earlier today that Noel was not participating in practice due to a finger injury, which he suffered in July, and a recent hamstring injury. It turns out Noel’s recent hamstring injury is actually a re-injury. Fellow second-year WR Jayden Higgins has the inside track to the WR2 role. Noel was set to compete with Xavier Hutchinson and WR Tank Dell for the WR3 gig. Instead, he is losing valuable preseason reps. Noel might be best viewed as an early-season waiver wire add.

Sam LaPorta said he wants to continue playing for the Lions long-term.

Earlier this week, LaPorta expressed frustration in an interview about his contract negotiations stalling in-season. The Athletic’s Colton Pouncy asked him a few follow-up questions today on the matter today, and LaPorta made clear that he hopes to remain a Lion long-term and is excited about the prospect of raising a family in Detroit. LaPorta seemed extremely earnest, saying he felt bad about his comments potentially causing a distraction for his team, but he knows his teammates care for him and want him to be happy and compensated. He handled the issue well and appears to be ready to play hard for a lucrative contract extension, which is good news for fantasy managers. LaPorta is a locked-in TE1 against the Packers this week.

The Seahawks’ sporadic producer will be on the field against the Chiefs this week. Shaheed has been involved as a receiver and as a rusher, scoring touchdowns in consecutive weeks. He offers a low floor, but he makes for a viable FLEX starter this week.

The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Jeff McLane said he got “the sense” that DeVonta Smith (hamstring) will not play in Week 7 against the Cowboys.

Like Thursday, Smith was sidelined for Friday’s practice. The Eagles have been managing his practice reps and pulled him out for multiple drives in their Week 6 loss to the Panthers. The Eagles face the Cowboys on Monday night, giving Smith an extra day to rest. Consider him highly questionable to play at this time. McLane adds that Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) could also sit out this week.
