Team news: Houston Texans | Page 12

Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill, RB De’Von Achane, CB Xavien Howard, LT Terron Armstead limited in practice returns. RG Robert Hunt & RT Austin Jackson remain out.

Related Players: Jaylen Waddle, Cedrick Wilson, Braxton Berrios

This is a good sign for fantasy managers who had to do without last week. Hill looks like he will return to what will very likely be a shootout with the Cowboys. Waddle is back in the WR2 range after his fantastic 8-142-1 performance during his teammate's absence.

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.

Texans QB C.J. Stroud is not yet back at practice for Houston, a bad sign for his availability this week. Stroud is still in the concussion protocol.

Keenum led the Texans to a win to keep them in the playoff hunt, but that didn't do much for us in fantasy, as he only notched 11.3 points. He gets a tough matchup against the Browns this week, and should be off fantasy radars, even in the deepest leagues.

Schefter's post went on to say Stroud is likely to miss a second-straight game this coming Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. It's a tough break for fantasy owners who have rode Stroud to the playoffs this season. While it was Mills who backed up Stroud most of the season, Keenum got the start last week and one would think he gets the call again in Week 16 if Stroud is out. It could be a tough go against the good Browns defense.

C.J. Stroud missed Sunday’s overtime win over the Titans on Sunday after being concussed in Houston’s Week 14 loss to the Jets and head coach DeMeco Ryans told reporters on Monday that Stroud remains in the concussion protocol. Wednesday’s practice will be the next milestone in his path back to the lineup.

Despite Davis Mills serving as the No. 2 quarterback all season, Case Keenum got the start against Tennessee. He was 23-of-36 for 229 yards, a touchdown, and an interception in the win.

This doesn't sound like a great start to the week as the Texans hope to get their star QB back on the field. If Stroud can't go, the story said Ryans did not say whether Keenum will start against the Browns on Christmas Eve if Stroud is not cleared to return.

Texans QB C.J. Stroud is officially out for Week 15 against the Titans with a concussion.

Stroud did not travel with the team to Nashville. The Texans will roll with Case Keenum at quarterback against the Titans. Stroud did not practice all week and has not cleared protocol. The Texans are hurting on offense. The good news is they’re getting TE Dalton Schultz back but Nico Collins is questionable and Tank Dell is out for the season. The last two weeks were very rough for the Texans.

Collins will be missing Week 15, which further puts a damper on what has been an exciting offense. Dalton Schultz should be considered a must-start tight end if he returns to action with a thinning wide receiver room.

Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel tells reporters that WR Tyreek Hill won't practice today on his ankle injury and is considered questionable. He hasn't practiced all week.

The ball was spread out a little more in Week 14, with Hill coming off and on the field, but not enough to make the tertiary options behind Jaylen Waddle usable. This would obviously be a terrible time for Tyreek to miss, with so many of us depending on him in the fantasy playoffs, but hope isn't lost yet.

WR Chris Olave did not practice for the second straight day with an ankle injury, leaving his status in doubt for Sunday.

Related Players: A.T. Perry, Lynn Bowden, Rashid Shaheed, Juwan Johnson, Foster Moreau

The Saints receiving group is looking very rough heading into Week 15. If Olave ends up missing, it will be difficult to start many names outside of Alvin Kamara.

No Nico Collins or Will Anderson at Texans practice. Three key players, including C.J. Stroud, are not at practice.

Collins looks like he's trending towards missing Week 15, which further puts a damper on what has been an exciting offense. Dalton Schultz should be considered a must-start tight end if he returns to action with a thinning wide receiver room.
