Team news: Houston Texans | Page 2

Texans QB C.J. Stroud continues to not throw at OTAs due to shoulder soreness. “There's no concerns with C.J.,” said Texans HC DeMeco Ryans. “It's just general soreness. We're taking extra precaution with him, but he’ll be good to go. No concerns on my end there.”

It's still early in the year for this to impact Stroud's fantasy outlook one way or the other. In very, very deep SuperFlex Dynasty leagues, we could proactively scoop Mills off the waiver wire if he's available.

The Eagles and TE Dallas Goedert have agreed to a reworked deal for this season, as Jeff McLane stated. The team had trade offers for Goedert during the draft. He was in the loop. Decided to remain with the team and selflessly restructured to try running it back.

As Garafolo touches on, it seemed like a draft-day trade was very much on the table, but once the smoke cleared, it seemed obvious that the vet would remain on the team for at least one more year. Philadelphia currently has seven tight ends on the roster, so expect to see a lot of those names drop off throughout the summer. Goedert should once again be considered a touchdown-dependent low-end TE1 on a great offense.

Dallas Goedert entering the last year of his deal with the Eagles. This has felt like it could go either way. Not a player they’re looking to dump but a possible tough decision on financials and what a trade might net. One of the players to watch as we get closer to the draft.

The Eagles went out to grab Bryant and Granson to add to what is now a pretty crowded tight end room, presumably in preparation for a possible Goedert trade. Though Goedert's fantasy value could possibly take a hit, it's worth pointing out that he hasn't caught more than four touchdowns since the 2019 season, and he could very easily go to a team with a higher pass rate than Philadelphia. It could end up being a net-neutral spot for the 30-year-old vet.

Jaguars plan to release veteran WR Christian Kirk, per source.

Related Players: Brian Thomas Jr., Gabe Davis, Parker Washington

Kirk will look for new employment on an increasingly fertile WR free agent landscape after a disappointing 27-catch 2024 performance in which he logged only eight games. Brian Thomas Jr. is already appropriately earmarked for a WR1 season, but this certainly doesn't hurt things.

DeMeco Ryans says WR Tank Dell tore his ACL along with dislocating his knee.

No surprises here as it was a terrible injury to watch during the game. While he's obviously out for the season, the bigger question is what will his status be for 2025. It's a huge question mark at this point given the seriousness of the injury. Even if Dell is able to play next season, he may take a while to get back to 100%.

Texans WR Tank Dell suffered a dislocated kneecap during Saturday’s game against the Chiefs.

The injury occurred as Dell landed after catching his touchdown pass in the third quarter. Dell was carted off and eventually went to the hospital, where he will stay overnight. The extent of the injury or any other injury is still to be determined. Texans players were overcome with emotion following the injury to their teammate. Dell’s status for training camp and the start of the 2025 season is up in the air.

Texans WR Tank Dell was carted off the field Saturday after a bad knee injury.

Dell had just scored a touchdown but the way he landed caused the injury. NBC isn’t even showing certain angles because of how bad the injury looks to be. Dell’s leg was immobilized. Dell’s rookie season was ended prematurely due to a broken leg. Very unfortunate news for the young wide receiver.

Sources: The Chiefs are activating WR Marquise "Hollywood" Brown and he will officially make his season-debut on Saturday vs the Texans.

Related Players: DeAndre Hopkins, Xavier Worthy, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Justin Watson

It feels exceedingly likely that Hollywood Brown will be limited in his first in-game action of the season, but even light usage could lower the floor of his teammates. Hopkins and Worthy project as a fringe WR3/4 while Brown should stay on benches for now, but could end up being viable in Week 17.

The Chiefs plan to activate Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown (reserve/injured, shoulder) for Saturday’s game vs. Houston assuming everything continues trending positively this week, per sources.

Brown looks to make his Chiefs debut after missing four months.

'Joe came out fine, Joe will be fine,' Texans coach DeMeco Ryans on Joe Mixon.

Good news for owners. As the post said, Mixon got his ankle checked in Week 15 action, but was able to finish the game. It will be worth monitoring his practice week, but he seems like he should be good for Week 16, which is a Saturday game against the Chiefs.
