John Metchie III (illness), Brevin Jordan (illness), Nico Collins (calf), Shaq Mason (calf), and Jimmie Ward (concussion) returned to practice.

The passing attack didn't look great with Case Keenum under center, but Noah Brown saw a huge target share, turning 11 into 8-82-1. If Nico Collins is good to go for Week 16, he should slide back into the No. 1 role, which should offer a fantasy WR2 with limited upside if C.J. Stroud misses, which looks like the strongest possibility.

Not practicing Friday and not playing Sunday for Texans: Noah Brown (knee), Henry To'oTo'o (concussion protocol), Jake Hansen (hand surgery), and Jimmie Ward (hamstring).

With Brown missing Week 11, Tank Dell and a returning Nico Collins are both borderline WR2 options in a solid matchup against the Cardinals' defense.

Even as the Texans' offense rotates skill position players on and off the injured list, the offense has been exploding as of late. If Pierce misses, Devin Singletary gets bumped into the RB2 range once again. If Brown were to miss Week 11, Tank Dell and a returning Nico Collins are both borderline WR2 options in a solid matchup against the Cardinals' defense.

Singletary had the backfield mostly to himself last week and put forth a miserable performance, which makes him a stay-away for all but the most desperate fantasy managers ahead of this Week 10 game against the Bengals.

Nico Collins is a new name on the injury report, which is a bummer, as he has a surprising 36-631-4 stat line on the year. With him missing this matchup, Dell and Brown would figure to get the biggest increase in target share.

Texans GM Nick Caserior says John Metchie "had a little bit of a setback in Spring" but is cleared for training camp. Metchie missed his rookie season with leukemia but is trending in the right direction.

The current wide receiver room in Houston leaves a lot to be desired, so it would be nice to see Metchie at training camp for more than one reason. There's no reason to believe that Metchie doesn't have "leading the team in targets" in his range of outcomes but we really haven't seen him on an NFL field yet, so that optimism is best saved for the eye test.
