Who Should I Start? Tank Dell or Mitchell Tinsley

Thursday, October 9, 11:55 AM

The Houston Texans have yet to make an indication that wide receiver Tank Dell (knee) will return any time soon. Dell sustained a gruesome knee injury late last season, and there has been no update on his status. The sentiment surrounding the 25-year-old was that he'd likely miss the entirety of the 2025 season. While no news is good news -- insinuating that he hasn't had a setback in his recovery -- it's still a long shot that he'd be able to make his way back to the field by the end of the campaign. As of now, teammates Christian Kirk and Xavier Hutchinson will continue to operate behind the team's WR1, Nico Collins. However, rookies Jaylin Noel and Jayden Higgins could begin to push the veterans for playing time.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Mitchell Tinsley was dominant, hauling in five receptions for 73 yards and two touchdowns in the 31-17 win against the Washington Commanders. It was the Tinsley show against his former team, scoring touchdowns from 21 yards and 13 yards, thrown by backup quarterback Jake Browning. The third-year receiver adds some depth in the Bengals' wide receiver room behind Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. Tinsley is fighting for a roster spot, but with performances like this, he will secure it with ease. The former undrafted free agent will have another chance to shine next Saturday against the Indianapolis Colts.
