Texans WR Noah Brown (knee) is expected to play vs. the Broncos today, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Brown got in limited practices on Wednesday and Thursday but did not practice on Friday, so we're a bit surprised he's playing. This will be the first time since Week 1 that Brown, Tank Dell, Nico Collins, and Robert Woods are all available. Brown actually led the Texans with a 75% route rate in that one, although it's safe to say that won't be the case today. We'd try not to use Brown in Week 13 fantasy lineups with the playing-time uncertainty in his first game off a multi-week knee injury.
Texans WR Nico Collins has led the team in targets in each of his two games since returning from injury. He led the team in targets (9), receptions (7), and receiving yards (104) in Sunday's loss to the Jaguars. Collins also scored for the second time in three games. He has caught seven passes in two straight games. Collins gets negative matchups with the Broncos and Jets the next two weeks. But he gets a high-upside matchup with the Titans in two of the final three fantasy weeks.
Texans WR Noah Brown (knee) remained sidelined on Wednesday. At this point, fantasy owners shouldn't be counting on him returning for this weekend's game vs. the Jaguars. That'd again leave Tank Dell, Nico Collins, and Robert Woods as Houston's top three WRs.
Texans WR Tank Dell (8-149-1) had the big game in the Week 11 win over the Cardinals. WR Nico Collins was fine, catching seven balls for 65 scoreless yards. But he actually out-targeted Dell 11 to 10. Collins' 11 targets led the team and were a big 30% of QB C.J. Stroud's total. More big games are coming for Collins with a big role in a red-hot passing game. Consider making a trade offer for him this week. His remaining schedule includes two tough draws vs. the Jets and Browns but three positive matchups against the Jaguars and Titans twice.
Texans WR Noah Brown (knee) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Cardinals. That leaves Robert Woods in the No. 3 WR spot, behind Tank Dell and Nico Collins. Woods has been inefficient all season and is no better than a WR4 today.
Texans WR Nico Collins (calf) is not listed on the final Week 11 injury report. He practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday, and should play a full-time role this weekend vs. the Cardinals’ 19th-ranked WR defense.
Texans WR Nico Collins (calf) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. He said afterward that he "felt great" and will play vs. the Cardinals this weekend. Collins ranks 15th among WRs in PPR points per game and will belong back in fantasy lineups if he's active on Sunday.
Texans WR Nico Collins (calf) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Bengals. Per insider Aaron Wilson, Collins hurt his calf during last week’s win over the Bucs and felt worse than expected this week. We’ll see if he can make it back for Week 11’s game vs. the Cardinals.
Texans WR Nico Collins (calf) missed his second straight practice on Thursday. He's seemingly in real danger of missing this weekend's game vs. the Bengals. Check back tomorrow to see how Collins is listed on the final injury report.
Texans WR Nico Collins (calf) did not practice on Wednesday. No word yet on the severity of the injury or whether Collins is in danger of missing this weekend's game vs. the Bengals. His absence would be a boost for WRs Tank Dell and Noah Brown and TE Dalton Schultz. Check back tomorrow for another update on Collins.
Texans WR Robert Woods (foot) remained sidelined on Wednesday. His absence vs. the Bengals this weekend would keep Nico Collins, Tank Dell, and Noah Brown locked in as Houston's top three WRs.
Texans WR Robert Woods (foot) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Bucs, as expected. That leaves Nico Collins, Tank Dell, and Noah Brown as Houston’s clear top three WRs. See where they sit in the Week 9 Rankings.
Sunday saw a bit of a dud from the Texans’ passing game. WR Noah Brown hauled 3 of 5 targets for a team-high 57 receiving yards in Week 8’s loss vs. the Panthers. His teammate Nico Collins led Houston pass-catchers with 4 catches but only converted those opportunities into 30 receiving yards. Nary a Texans’ receiver exceeded double-digit PPR points in the contest. We’ll hope to see better efforts in Week 9 vs. the Buccaneers.
Texans WR Robert Woods is expected to miss 2-3 weeks with his foot injury, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Woods is out for today's game vs. the Panthers, and it sounds like he'll also miss Week 9. His absence can't be bad news for WRs Nico Collins and Tank Dell.
Texans WR Robert Woods (foot) is not expected to play vs. the Panthers on Sunday, per insider Aaron Wilson. Hopefully you weren't hoping to use Woods in Week 8 fantasy lineups. The big impact here in on WR Tank Dell, who we were worried might not play a full slate of snaps alongside Woods and WR Noah Brown. Now that Woods is out, Nico Collins, Dell, and Brown should be locked in as Houston's top three WRs.
Texans WR Nico Collins hauled 4 of 6 targets for a team-high 80 receiving yards in Week 6’s win vs. the Saints. TE Dalton Schultz also had a good game, posting 4 catches for 61 yards and a TD on Sunday. After a slow start to the season, Schultz has now recorded at least 40 receiving yards and 1 TD in three consecutive games. We won’t see the Texans again until Week 8 vs. the Panthers. Hopefully, by then, fantasy managers will have rookie WR Nathaniel ‘Tank’ Dell (concussion) back in the fold.
Texans WR Nico Collins had his way with the Pittsburgh secondary in Week 4, tallying 7-168-2. Collins scored once at the goal line; once from deep on a play that showed his length and post-catch ability. On the day, his 30% target share easily led the team. The third-year pro now has 22 catches, 428 yards, and 3 TDs through four games. He'll be in the WR2/3 mix for Sunday's matchup at Atlanta.
Texans rookie WR Nathaniel ‘Tank’ Dell had himself a day with a team-leading 5 catches on 7 targets for 145 yards in Week 3 vs. the Jaguars. Teammates Nico Collins and Robert Woods struggled in this contest, each recording 34 receiving yards apiece on a combined 5 catches. These results are certainly disappointing for fantasy managers. The good news, however, is that this Houston offense seems pretty darn good with QB C.J. Stroud at the helm. Despite leading the whole game, the Texans chucked the ball 30 times. That type of continued passing volume is fantastic to see for fantasy managers. This will be an exciting unit to watch next week vs. the Steelers.
