NFL DRAFT ROOKIE GUIDE IS NOW LIVE!
Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell (leg) continues to recover from a gunshot wound sustained nearly a week ago. The 24-year-old, who was an innocent bystander during the shooting, still has some hurdles to clear, especially after also sustaining a fractured Fibula at the end of last season. However, he's expected to be cleared before training camp, although his status for Week 1 remains uncertain. Yet, if things continue to move positively, there's a good chance he'll be out there when the Texans begin their season. Dell finished the 2023-24 campaign by amassing 709 yards and seven touchdowns off 47 receptions. While fantasy managers are concerned about the injury and the potential for a decrease in production after the team added Stefon Diggs, Dell could still find himself surpassing the 1,000-yard receiving mark in the Texans' high-powered offense.

Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell (leg) suffered a gunshot wound on Sunday morning after a 16-year-old suspect opened fire during a physical altercation at a private event in Sanford, Florida. Dell, who was at the event but not involved, suffered a "minor wound," with the team reporting the wideout is in "good spirits" and has been released from the hospital.

As far as the gunman, he was arrested and charged with several crimes, including attempted homicide, before being transported to a juvenile detention facility. The 24-year-old is currently working his way back from a broken leg suffered at the end of last season and should remain on schedule to return for the 2024-25 campaign, barring any setbacks related to the incident.

Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell (leg) is making a sound recovery from a broken fibula in his rookie season and said that he's expecting to be back for organized team activities this spring. The 24-year-old hasn't had any setbacks after having surgery 10 and a half weeks, and he also started doing pool work last month. Barring a setback, Dell should be ready to roll for the start of training camp this summer. The third-round pick amazed in his rookie season in 2023 while working with quarterback C.J. Stroud before breaking his leg, catching 47 of 75 targets for 709 yards and seven touchdowns in his first year in the NFL. Dell has as much upside of any young receiver in the game with Stroud as his QB, and he'll be expensive in fantasy drafts this fall heading into Year 2.

Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell (ankle) saw his incredible rookie campaign come to a screeching halt due to injury. The good news is, that Dell is expected to be ready for the beginning of OTA training. The young wideout was recently seen doing some light running, which is at least a step in the right direction. He played a key role in the Texans offense during the first half of the season. Dell hauled in 47 receptions for 709 yards and seven touchdowns in 11 games. The expectation is that Dell will be fully healthy in time for training camp later this summer.

The Houston Texans officially placed rookie wide receiver Tank Dell (leg) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday. It's an expected move after the impressive young wideout suffered a season-ending broken left fibula in the Week 13 win over the Denver Broncos. The 24-year-old had surgery on his leg on Monday. There's no telling how much more Dell could have done for the remainder of his first year in the NFL after putting up 47 receptions on 75 targets for 709 yards and seven touchdowns in 11 games played. Fantasy managers in redraft formats can obviously move on, but those that have Dell rostered in dynasty/keepers have to be pretty exciting about his long-term upside while paired with quarterback C.J. Stroud, who has been one of the best overall QBs in football in 2023. Nico Collins, Noah Brown and Robert Woods should be lined up in three-wide sets for Houston the rest of the way with Dell out.

Houston Texans rookie wide receiver Tank Dell (leg) underwent surgery on Monday for the broken fibula he suffered in the Week 13 win over the Denver Broncos, and head coach DeMeco Ryans confirmed that Dell will miss the rest of the season. It's a big blow to the Texans' offense, as Dell had become one of their top receivers after being taken in the third round earlier this year. The promising 24-year-old pass-catcher will finish his first NFL campaign with 47 receptions for 709 yards and seven touchdowns in 11 games played. He added 51 rushing yards on 11 carries. It's a bad ending to his first season, but Dell should maintain plenty of long-term fantasy value with quarterback C.J. Stroud in Houston. With Dell now out, Nico Collins, Noah Brown and veteran Robert Woods should see more targets as the Texans battle for a playoff spot.

Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell (leg) suffered a broken fibula during Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Dell is expected to be placed on injured reserve, making him ineligible to play through Week 17. The 24-year-old departed Week 13 before he could command a target. Through 11 contests this season, the electric rookie totaled 47 catches, 709 yards, and two touchdowns. His loss will hurt the Texans' offense, though they should feel comfortable about their depth chart with Nico Collins and Noah Brown taking over as the top wide receivers.
Dec 3, 2023 4:03 PM EST
Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos. He departed in the first half after suffering an awkward injury around the goal line. As it stands, the rookie finishes Week 13 with zero catches and zero targets. Losing Dell, who had 25 catches, 369 yards, and five touchdowns over his last four games, is tough news for the Texans. However, their passing game should continue to survive with Nico Collins and Noah Brown atop the depth chart at wide receiver.
Dec 3, 2023 2:49 PM EST
Houston Texans wide receiver (leg) suffered a leg injury during the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos. Dell had his leg rolled up on during a Dameon Pierce touchdown plunge in the first quarter and needed to be carted off the field.

He's most likely done for the day, however, and the team should provide an update on him following the conclusion of Sunday's contest.
Dec 3, 2023 1:59 PM EST
Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell (calf) is currently listed as questionable for the Week 13 matchup against the Denver Broncos. Despite that, Dell is expected to play this week, which is great news for the Texans offense. Head coach DeMeco Ryans has expressed confidence that Dell will be able to suit up for this game. The rookie wideout could be in for a big game with tight end Dalton Schultz (hamstring) already ruled out. If active, Dell should be considered a low-end WR1 for this game.
Dec 2, 2023 6:16 PM EST
Houston Texans rookie wide receiver Tank Dell (calf) said he's going to play against the Denver Broncos in Week 13 on Sunday. "I'm good now," Dell said. The rookie sensation picked up a questionable tag this week after putting in two limited practices on Thursday and Friday. Texans have been confident that the 24-year-old will be able to play after he had scans on his calf following the Week 12 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Dell has been amazing in the last four games, going for 25 catches (43 targets) for 369 yards and five touchdowns, vaulting him into must-start status in fantasy. However, Noah Brown (knee) looks like he could return this weekend, and the Broncos defense has allowed the fewest half-PPR fantasy points to opposing wideouts during their five-game winning streak.
Dec 2, 2023 12:13 PM EST
Houston Texans rookie wide receiver Tank Dell (calf) has returned to practice on Thursday after missing Wednesday's session, according to a team official. Dell had imaging done on his calf after the Week 12 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, but head coach DeMeco Ryans has been optimistic about Dell heading into a Week 13 clash against the Denver Broncos. Dell and first-rounder C.J. Stroud have formed a strong rookie connection in Houston in 2023, with Dell going for 47 catches, 709 yards and seven touchdowns in 10 games played. Catching 25 passes for 369 yards and five touchdowns in the last four games has made Dell a must-start in fantasy lineups going forward. However, Noah Brown's (knee) potential return this weekend could take away some targets from Dell against a Broncos defense that is suddenly strong.
Nov 30, 2023 1:39 PM EST
Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell (calf) is not practicing on Wednesday heading into the Week 13 matchup with the Denver Broncos. According to Aaron Wilson KPRC 2 Houston, the dynamic rookie had imaging done on his calf after the Week 12 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. There is no word on whether or not he'll play on Sunday, but this is clearly a situation worth monitoring. Dell has been spectacular this season, posting 47 receptions for 709 yards, and seven touchdowns in 10 games. Dell is the overall WR14 in PPR leagues. He's a clear must-start if active. If he has to miss time, Nico Collins would become a virtual must-start. Noah Brown, Robert Woods, and Dalton Schultz would be candidates for more targets from C.J. Stroud.
Nov 29, 2023 2:06 PM EST

The touchdown marked the fourth straight game that Dell has crossed the goal line. For the contest, he totaled five catches for 50 yards and one touchdown. The young wideout continues to be a fantasy star, and he'll look to continue his impressive rookie season next week at home against the Denver Broncos.
Nov 26, 2023 11:29 PM EST
Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell has been a fantasy star lately and will look to continue that in Week 12 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Over the past three weeks, Dell has finished as the WR1, WR11, and WR3 in half-PPR formats in fantasy since Week 9. During that span, the rookie has 20 catches for 319 yards and four touchdowns. It appears Dell and C.J. Stroud have developed a great connection on the field, which has been on display all season. With the way the 24-year-old has played as of late, he is a must-start in fantasy. Dell also totaled 145 yards and a touchdown earlier in the season against the Jaguars.
Nov 25, 2023 12:01 AM EST
Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell totaled a career-high 149 receiving yards in the team's 21-16 win over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 11. Dell continues to put together an excellent rookie season, and Sunday might have been the best performance of his short career. He caught a career-high eight passes for 149 yards and one touchdown in the Texans' victory. The wideout reeled in his sixth score of the year late in the second quarter on a spectacular grab to extend Houston's lead before the half. Dell will look to continue his strong play next week at home against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Nov 19, 2023 10:59 PM EST
Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell has been a reliable fantasy starter in his first year, and that consistency should continue in Week 11 against the Arizona Cardinals. Dell has had to step up over the past two weeks due to the injuries of Nico Collins (calf) and Robert Woods (foot). But with both players active for Sunday, the rookie's fantasy value takes a slight hit. Still, he should provide enough value to be flex-worthy, especially with Noah Brown (knee) questionable to play. The matchup is also a great one for the young wideout in a game that is the highest over/under of the week (48.5).
Nov 17, 2023 7:34 PM EST
Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell continued to impress in the team's 30-27 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 10. Dell caught six passes for 56 yards and one touchdown while seeing a career-high 14 targets in the contest. Rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud connected with the young wideout early in the second quarter on a six-yard score, marking his third touchdown over the past two games. With Nico Collins (calf) out, the rookie wideout was Stroud's favorite target on Sunday. If Collins misses again in Week 11, Dell would be a must-start at home against the Arizona Cardinals.
Nov 12, 2023 10:30 PM EST
Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell could see a lot more opportunities in Week 10 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Dell is already coming off the best game of his career, where he caught six passes for 114 yards and two touchdowns. Now, quarterback C.J. Stroud could lean on the rookie even more this weekend with wide receiver Nico Collins (calf) already ruled out. In a game that is the second-highest over/under (47) of the week, the Texans will have to throw plenty to keep up with the Bengals high-powered offense. That is great news for Dell, who should see plenty of targets in Week 10. He's a strong WR2 this weekend.
