Who Should I Start? Tank Dell or Jamari Thrash

Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell (knee) will technically be eligible to be activated off the reserve/physically unable to perform list following his team's Week 4 matchup against the Tennessee Titans. However, there's been no indication from the team that he's nearing a return to the field. That's not surprising, considering Dell dislocated his knee and tore three major ligaments in December 2024. The most likely scenario remains that Dell will miss the entirety of the 2025 season. Veteran wideout Christian Kirk has replaced Dell's role in Houston's offense, and Kirk hauled in three catches for 25 yards on eight targets in his season debut in Week 3.

ESPN's Daniel Oyefusi writes that Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jamari Thrash, who caught only three passes as a rookie in 2024 after being taken in the fifth round, took advantage of opportunities in an unproven receiver room during offseason workouts and established himself as a reliable option in the passing game. "He's had a really strong spring," head coach Kevin Stefanski said. "He is here all the time working on his body. Very intelligent player, can line up in multiple positions which I think is valuable. And then he showed up, he's caught the ball well and you know the quarterbacks like how he gets open. He finds a way to get open versus zone, versus man." Since the 24-year-old isn't really an option on special teams, he's going to need to continue standing out in training camp and the preseason to win a spot on the 53-man roster heading into the regular season.
