Texans | WR Nico Collins Says Sky Is The Limit For Houston's Offense Mon May 13, 04:58 PM
After winning the AFC South and beating the Browns in the playoffs, the Texans were already heading into the 2024 campaign with higher expectations. The bar was lifted even higher with offseason moves for players like WR Stefon Diggs, RB Joe Mixon, and edge rusher Danielle Hunter. Diggs and Mixon will be joining an offense that hit its stride with QB C.J. Stroud during his rookie season, and WR Nico Collins said this weekend that the unit is going to be a handful for opposing defenses. "Oh yeah, it's going to be dangerous, real dangerous, man," Collins said via Aaron Wilson of KPRC. "The sky is the limit for us."
| Footballguys view: Collins isn't wrong. But it will also be challenging to devine the values of the receiving assets as we head into the season. You'll find Collins as WR21 on the Footballguys 2024 Draft Rankings, followed by Diggs at WR25 and Tank Dell at WR27. Collins (WR15) and Diggs (WR17) are going earlier than our rankings in current Underdog best-ball drafts. Dell's WR27 Average Draft Position aligns with our ranking. Can all three deliver fantasy WR2 to WR3 production? The offense living up to Collins' advance billing would be a step in the right direction. |

Houston Texans fourth-round draft choice TE Cade Stover (Ohio State) reportedly agreed to terms on a four-year contract worth $4.758 million - including a $1.189 million signing bonus - on Thursday, May 9.
| Footballguys view: Stover can make plays as a receiving weapon, and he's nasty after the catch. We'll see Stover develop behind Dalton Schultz on the Texans' roster. Dynasty GMs should stash Stover on their rosters to wait for the day he gets a chance to start. |

Link to story Texans | McNair Reiterates Tank Dell Will Make A Full Recovery Tue May 7, 04:14 PM
Texans owner Cal McNair said Monday that receiver Tank Dell will make a "full recovery" after he was wounded in a shootout at a Florida restaurant last month. McNair did not provide details on the nature of Dell's injury, but the team called it a "minor wound" the day after the April 27th shooting, which also injured nine others.
| Footballguys view: Head coach DeMeco Ryans was cagey when asked about Dell, refusing to directly answer the question when asked if he expected him to be ready for Week 1. "Tank should be fine," he said. When pressed later about whether Dell would miss practice time, Ryans again deflected. "I've answered all that about Tank -- he'll be all right," Ryans said. A positive outcome seems likely, but fantasy managers should continue watching this. Dell had 709 yards receiving and set a franchise rookie record with seven touchdown receptions last season before breaking his left fibula in December. Ryans said in April that Dell had recovered from that injury and would be ready to practice when the team began workouts before he was injured in the shooting. |
Texans | J.J. Watt would play again if Houston needed him Sun May 5, 08:56 AM
Retired DE J.J. Watt recently told Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans that he would be willing to unretire and suit up for the team in 2024 if Ryans 'absolutely needs it.'
| Footballguys view: It's fun to think about, but it's not reality (is it?). Watt has continued to stay in playing shape since retiring at the end of the 2022 season but plans to scale back his training regimen in future years. |

Texans | Houston still high on Dameon Pierce Thu May 2, 02:27 PM
Houston Texans RB Dameon Pierce will be 'a big part of what we're doing (in 2024),' according to general manager Nick Caserio during his appearance on Sports Radio 610 on Thursday, May 2.'The big thing right now is to be in good condition - which he is. Watching him move on the field, he looks pretty good. Everybody's looking forward to the opportunity in front of them; you can't worry about what's happened in the past. He's got as good an attitude as anyone on the team. We're glad DP is here. He's going to be a big part of what we're doing. He's working his (butt) off so far, which is great to see,' Caserio told
| Footballguys view: Pierce needs to perform better than he did last year (2.9 YPC is terrible). In 2024, the Texans are counting on Joe Mixon to do the heavy lifting in the backfield. We'll see how Pierce works into the mix after that. |
Texans | Tank Dell doing well Thu May 2, 01:09 PM
Houston Texans WR Tank Dell (undisclosed) is 'doing great' in his recovery from a gunshot wound he suffered last week, according to general manager Nick Caserio.
| Footballguys view: We're so glad to hear this. Dell was an amazing playmaker for the Texans as a rookie, even though his 2023 season was shortened by injury. With the addition of Stefon Diggs, Dell moves down the pecking order a bit. We still like him as a WR3 with upside for Fantasy GMs in 2024. |

Link to story Texans | Tank Dell OK after gunshot Sun Apr 28, 04:38 PM
Houston Texans WR Tank Dell was the victim of a gun shot on Saturday, April 27, but the wound was minor and he has been released from the hospital, the team announced.
| Footballguys view: Dell was a bystander during a shooting at a private event in Sanford where authorities say a teenage gunman wounded 10 people after an altercation. A Texans spokesperson told ESPN that Dell isn't seriously injured and was released from the hospital and was traveling back to Houston on Sunday. Dell finished his 2023 rookie season with 709 yards and seven touchdowns. But his year was cut short after he suffered a broken leg in an early December game against the Denver Broncos. Last month, HC DeMeco Ryans said Dell was on track with his rehab and was participating in offseason activities, and the coach added that he was excited to have him back. |

Link to story Texans | Tank Dell still on track for normal offseason Tue Apr 16, 01:01 PM
Houston Texans WR Tank Dell (leg) looks 'great' and should be able to participate fully in training camp this summer, according to QB C.J. Stroud, who organized a throwing session with Dell and a few other teammates in Los Angeles recently. There even appears to be a strong possibility he will be ready for the start of offseason activities on May 20.
| Footballguys view: In 11 games, Dell caught 47 passes for 709 yards and seven touchdowns. He set the franchise rookie record for touchdown catches and yards in a single game with a 145-yard performance against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 3. He later broke his record with a 149-yard outing against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 11. Over his final four full games, Dell totaled 25 receptions for 369 yards and five touchdowns. He was on pace to catch Andre Johnson's rookie record receiving yardage (976) entering December. Based on that pace, Dell was on track to finish with over 1,200 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns, which would have been second-most among rookies behind Los Angeles Rams' Puka Nacua. With Stefon Diggs on board, and with both Nico Collins and Diggs going off before him in ongoing best balls, Dell appears to be the value pick here. The question will be whether he can pull in the desired target share with the extra mouth to feed, but the same can be said for Diggs and Collins. |
