Tank Dell News
Tuesday, July 7, 10:40 AM
Thanks to a gruesome knee injury that ended his 2024 campaign in Week 16, Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell (knee) missed the entire 2025 season. Dell has yet to be fully cleared from the injury, but he's expected to contribute to the Texans at some point in 2026. The 26-year-old has been a productive player when healthy for Houston, averaging 67 catches for 936 yards and seven touchdowns on 106 targets per 17 games played. Still, he may now be facing an uphill battle for targets even once healthy, as Houston has a pair of promising young wideouts in Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel to go with superstar WR1 Nico Collins. Dell's stock in both redraft and dynasty leagues has obviously fallen considerably from his peak value. Still, it's difficult to buy into Dell at any real cost until he proves he can make it back to full health.

Jayden Higgins News
Tuesday, July 14, 10:47 AM
Houston Texans second-year wide receiver Jayden Higgins is expected to see his role in the passing game grow in 2026 as he and quarterback C.J. Stroud further refine their connection and his understanding of coverages improves, according to Mike Jones of The Athletic. The 23-year-old 6-foot-4, 215-pound receiver impressed the Texans after they took him with the 34th overall pick in the second round out of Iowa State, catching 41 of his 68 targets for 525 yards and six touchdowns in 17 regular-season games (10 starts). Nico Collins remains Houston's unquestioned alpha WR1, but increased production from Higgins will help ease the pressure on Collins, who led the Texans with 71 catches for 1,117 yards and six touchdowns on 120 targets in 2025. Higgins has drawn praise this offseason as the team's WR2, and he could benefit from an improved offensive line in his sophomore campaign now that veteran Christian Kirk is gone. RotoBaller has Higgins ranked as the No. 55 fantasy WR going into 2026, making him a nice under-the-radar breakout target late in upcoming drafts.
