Houston Texans WR Tank Dell (leg) continues to progress in his recovery from a broken fibula and is now running and cutting, he revealed in a video posted to social media on Sunday, March 17.
Huddle Up: Dell predicted he'd be ready for OTAs earlier this year and it appears he's on track to do just that. It's certainly fair to temper expectations to more a flex option, considering the serious injury he's coming back from. However, after ranking as WR14 overall last season before his injury, Dell could return WR2 value if he returns to form.

Houston Texans RB Joe Mixon signed a three-year contract extension with the Texans Thursday, March 14, worth $27 million, according to a source. The deal includes $13 million in guaranteed money.
Huddle Up: It looks like Mixon will be the starting back for the Texans for the foreseeable future. He should see most of the work at the position and can be a No. 2 running back or flex option in fantasy leagues.

Updating a previous report, Cincinnati Bengals RB Joe Mixon will be traded to the Houston Texans in exchange for a conditional seventh-round draft choice at the start of the new league year on Wednesday, March 13.
Huddle Up: The Texans are probably more than happy to give up a conditional seventh-round pick for one year of Mixon and his $6.1 million cap charge rather than try to bid for his services as a free agent, which would have been the case if he had been released. Mixon should be a good bet to handle 15 to 18 touches most weeks behind what should be a good offensive line in Houston - assuming better injury luck this season - which should allow the four-time 1,000-yard rusher to be a serviceable low-end fantasy RB1 for one more year.

Cincinnati Bengals RB Joe Mixon was acquired by the Houston Texans Tuesday, March 12, for an undisclosed package.
Huddle Up: Mixon turns 28 in July and is coming off a 257-1,034-9 line on the ground and a 52-376-3 line through the air. He finished the year as the RB6 in PPR leagues. He'll give the backfield stability and make the Texans even more dangerous if QB C.J. Stroud is for real and doesn't tank into a sophomore slump. Dameon Pierce will be behind Mixon, and Pierce's dynasty league owners are pretty unhappy right now. Mixon remains a midrange RB1. Pierce slips to a handcuff/RB4 type because he doesn't do a lot through the air.

Impending free-agent WR Noah Brown (Texans) agreed to terms with the Houston Texans Monday, March 11, according to sources. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
Huddle Up: Brown was productive in the passing game when healthy this past season and probably will be the No. 3 receiver behind Nico Collins and Tank Dell in 2024. He should see a decent amount of targets in each game next season and could be a flex option against certain opponents.

Houston Texans impending free-agent TE Dalton Schultz reportedly agreed to terms on a three-year contract worth $36 million - including $23.5 million fully guaranteed - to remain with the team on Tuesday, March 5, according to sources.
Huddle Up: Schultz got off to a bit of a slow start in his first year in Houston, but he made up for lost time by scoring five touchdowns over a seven-week period. Although he doesn't usually offer much after the catch, this past year marked the fourth straight season in which he managed at least 57 catches, 577 receiving yards and four touchdowns. That is a relatively high floor at such a scarce position in fantasy football, which should make him an attractive low-end TE1 again in 2024.

Houston Texans impending free-agent TE Dalton Schultz is a candidate for the franchise tag if the two sides are not able to reach a contract agreement before the deadline Tuesday, March 5.
Huddle Up: Schultz was a reliable option in the passing game when healthy and appears to be on track to stay with the Texans for at least one more season. He can be considered a low-end No. 1 tight end in most fantasy leagues.

Cincinnati Bengals RB Joe Mixon is unlikely to return to the team in 2024, according to Jay Morrison of Pro Football Network.
Huddle Up: Mixon has been a staple of the Cincinnati backfield for the past seven seasons, but he had to restructure his contract to remain with the team in 2023, and it will likely take a similar move this offseason for the relationship to have any chance of continuing.

Houston Texans impending free-agent TE Dalton Schultz said he would like to re-sign with the Texans this offseason and believes the two sides will be able to reach an agreement.
Huddle Up: Schultz posted 635 receiving yards and five touchdowns during the regular season and probably will receive interest from several teams if he hits the free-agent market. He will see a good amount of targets if he remains with the Texans and could be a low-end No. 1 tight end in most leagues.

Houston Texans WR Tank Dell (leg) expects to be ready for organized team activities, he told reporters on Wednesday, Feb. 7.
Huddle Up: Dell was sensational during his rookie season, ranking as WR14 overall before his Week 13 injury. Assuming he's fully back to form, Dell will be a solid WR2 in 2024.

Houston Texans WR Tank Dell (leg) said he is making good progress in his recovery from a broken fibula.

Houston Texans WR Robert Woods (hip) was limited during practice Thursday, Jan. 18, but is not on the injury report for the Divisional Round playoff game.

Houston Texans WR Nico Collins (non-injury) did not participate in practice Thursday, Jan. 18, but is not on the injury report for the Divisional Round playoff game.
Huddle Up: Collins has become the main receiver for the Texans this season and should see plenty of targets against the Baltimore Ravens. He should be a starting option in all fantasy leagues.

Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud led the NFL with a 4.6 touchdown-to-interception ratio in 2023, becoming the first rookie to lead the league in the category.
Huddle Up: Stroud had an incredible rookie year, leading the league in passing yards per game and displaying impressive efficiency. One season isn't a huge sample size, but Stroud has positioned himself as a QB1 heading into 2024.

Houston Texans WR Noah Brown (shoulder) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Monday, Jan. 15.
