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.

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.

It looks like a second straight DNP (calf) for Texans WR Tank Dell. Would make him iffy to be available on Sunday against the Broncos.

**Adam Schefter immediately afterwards reported that Dell was "spotted" at practice, so we're gonna say that this is a limited practice, with conflicting reports

The Dell-C.J. Stroud rookie pairing is go far better than anyone could have imagined, as their passing offense continues to look explosive. Dell has to be started in all fantasy lineups if he's good to go, and if not, Nico Collins has a shot at a huge week.

Texans wide receiver Tank Dell who had imaging on his calf after game isn't practicing. There is optimism that he should be able to play against Broncos after not practicing today.

The Dell-C.J. Stroud rookie pairing is go far better than anyone could have imagined, as their passing offense continues to look explosive. Dell has to be started in all fantasy lineups if he's good to go, and if not, Nico Collins has a shot at a huge week.

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.

Texans' RB Dameon Pierce (ankle), WR Noah Brown (knee), and S Jimmie Ward (hamstring) did not practice today.

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.

Texans are expected to have Robert Woods back this week from a foot injury, with practice going well.

This is good timing for the Texans, with Nico Collins trending towards missing this game. It's likely that the team eases Woods back into the offense, so it's not recommended to roll him out in fantasy.

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.

Wanting to add speed and a complement to Pro Bowler CeeDee Lamb, the Dallas Cowboys acquired Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks on Sunday for a fifth-round pick in 2023 and a sixth-round pick in 2024.

As the luster has worn off of Michael Gallup as the Cowboys' WR2, Dallas looks to add a compliment to CeeDee Lamb. Last year's offseason additions, James Washington and Jalen Tolbert, combined for two receptions on the season. Cooks should have some useful fantasy games but is still currently ranked as a WR4.

Sources: Former Titans and Rams WR Robert Woods is signing with the Texans, adding a veteran presence to a young team. He gets a 2-year, $15.25M deal with $10M fully guaranteed and a max value of $17M.

There are targets available in Houston if the Texans do indeed trade Brandin Cooks away. Nico Collins figures to emerge as the team's top target, but Woods may be able to carve out a 5- to 7-target role for himself.
