Tank Dell an Intriguing Stash in Leagues with an IR Spot

Tuesday, September 8, 8:34 PM

Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell (knee) will open the season on injured reserve. While that takes him off the immediate fantasy radar, it actually gives him specific appeal as a player to target on the waiver wire. Many fantasy leagues designate one or two roster spots specifically for players on injured reserve, for which Dell would be eligible. As a result, managers who are on the fence about stashing the Texans' wideout can now add him without occupying a normal roster spot. Dell is working his way back from a brutal knee injury that he suffered more than 18 months ago. It has been a long recovery process, and he's still not quite ready to get back on the field. However, he's worth stashing for once he's healthy enough to play again. He'll presumably be in the mix for the No. 2 receiver role alongside Nico Collins, especially after Jayden Higgins (knee) was placed on season-ending IR.

Malik Nabers Active for Week 1 Against Cowboys

Sunday, September 13, 2:54 PM

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee) is officially active for Sunday's Week 1 contest against the Dallas Cowboys, according to Connor Hughes of SNY. Nabers had been listed as questionable, and although the Giants' medical and coaching staffs cleared him to play, the former first-round pick made it clear that he would be the one to decide whether he could suit up. In the end, he'll play in this primetime showing against the Cowboys, and he presumably won't have any limitations. Nabers averaged a whopping 10.7 targets per game before tearing his ACL last year, so we'd expect him to have a similarly large role in his return to action. Assuming he isn't playing on a snap count, Nabers ranks as a low-end WR1 against the Cowboys, who allowed the most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers in 2025.
